Flash Gordon

Spinal Tap
The Wall
It Might Get Loud
Across the Universe
Wayne's World

I'd say Live at Pompeii, but that's a concert film.

I liked Aly in Super 8 and Hellcats. I might actually look into this.

It feels like "disney making an indie film", but even with that I enjoyed it and the ska-inspired pop tunes presented is fun and tasteful.

Am I the only one wondering how Scott Pilgrim is a music movie? I get that they're in a band, and there's even songs, but that's not really a music movie, is it?

Id call it a music related movie.

What a great story. Lita Ford apparently didn't want much with to do with it so I guess it's missing a bit but otherwise fantastic. I was certain Michael Shannon would get an oscar nod for supporting actor but I guess the part wasn't big enough. I guess it's possible people skipped it because "eww those girls are from Twilight,I'm not watching this." Yah well they make out for about 3 minutes to I Wanna Be Your Dog.

Yes, this one is great! I watched it on a whim with a friend and it was awesome.

"Music related movie" sounds like a pretty broad term, which I think is why movies like Wayne's World are popping up in people's lists. Maybe once we hear the podcast, we can understand the context in which this was being discussed, because right now it sounds like any movie where someone briefly plays an instrument or even mentions music is eligible. By that logic, A Clockwork Orange, Dark City and Back to the Future could all be considered "music related" movies.

Stop Making Sense
Killing Bono
Detroit Rock City
24 Hour Party People
It's All Gone Pete Tong

I could argue that The Boat That Rocked is another music related movie, mainly because there's not much music, other than the story's about a pirate radio station.

Speaking of radio stations, Airheads is kind of music related too...if you count a band hijacking a radio station, then you get like two music references in one movie.
