Footlose|||There are a lot of good ones, but my favorite is Pink Floyd's "The Wall", even though my personal imagery is much different from the movie. But that's the beauty of art. We can take from it, whatever feelings it invokes. "Comfortably Numb" and "Mother" are my two favorite songs from "The Wall". I get a different feeling from them. It's no big surprise that they were both actually written separately from the story of the wall, and added in, because they fit the story of "Pink". To me, they always bring me some solace to the haunting memory's of a deeply troubled childhood.





As for the "Rockumentary" type of film, I am torn between Black Sabbath "The Last Supper" and "Woodstock".

Woodstock


Sex Pistols documentary called The Filth and the Fury


Joe Strummer documentary called The Future is Unwritten

One is coming out soon about The Runaways, I might go see it. How about you.|||Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, with George Burns and the Bee-Gees singing the songs of the Beatles. Worth renting if only for the opening song, in which George Burns sings "Fixing a Hole".|||Knight's Tale with Heath Ledger - excellent soundtrack. Another one is an older movie called "FM"
