Just goes to show you how crucial music is to a movie. Without it there would be no suspense, no energy. I can't even imagine Psycho without any music. Great trailers, Planet B-Boy looks incredible. Thanks for posting.

Probably my all time favorite is Stop Making Sense, mostly because I saw it in college. I also liked U2's Rattle and Hum.

And you really can't talk about music related movies without mentioning Purple Rain!

Jamie...you are so so right about Purple Rain!! The infamous motorcycle scene, who can forget that?

I can't wait to see Planet B-Boy... anyone see Rize? Now that was incredible!

I am looking for the movie Amadeus About mozart does anyone know where i can find it here on jaman

I love most of the old R&H musical (last Dec. I saw The King and I live, and last month I saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show live). I also loved these as movies, etc. etc. Purple Rain, Amadeus, Shine, Immortal Beloved (Beethoven is one of my favorite composers), La Vie En Rose (Edith Piaf music is so dark), 7 Brides for 7 Brothers, A Star is Born (B.S. version), The Way We Were, Grease I and II, Sat. Night Fever (love the 70s vibe with the Bee Gees), Fame, Urban Cowboy (when J. T. was hot), and Chariots of Fire to name a few of my favorites.

dance

Stop Making Sense (Jonathan Demme's masterpiece), Sid and Nancy, Gimme Shelter (horrifying!), The Great Rock n' Roll Swindle, Quadrophenia, A Hard Day's Night, High Fidelity, Bullet in a Bible.................with Bullet in a Bible as my favorite--and of course High Fidelity. The new Joe Strummer documentary (I can't remember the name) and the punk movie narrated by Henry Rollins....Rock n' Roll High School....Can't wait for Shine A Light.

THE WORST MUSIC MOVIE EVER MADE: SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS' CLUB BAND WITH THE BEEGEES AND PETER FRAMPTON! (The only scene worth saving is Aerosmith's and Steve Martin's--shred the rest!)

Oh and I agree with those above who mentioned Amadeaus and Rocky Horror Picture Show!!!!!

and in that vein I just heard some of the new tracks that Scarlet Johannssen (Lost in Translation) just did for her new album of Tom Waits covers over at Eyeballkid's blog (http://eyeballkid.blogspot.com/2008/04/streaming-scarlett.html)

It's not bad. I love seeing how different art cross pollenates. Now I am off to watch one of the movies you mentioned above - they look cool!

Say - yokokuramafoxdemon How was RHPS live? I've only seen in on screen (with a cast - but you know what i mean) I would love to know. Helps me relive my days when I played Janet back with the Ann Arbor RHPS fan club.

back street boys concert

this is boreing

I saw SHINE A LIGHT a couple of weeks ago (in IMAX, no less) and really liked it, particularly the prologue where you see the preparation for both the concert and the film - the Stones seem to resent the film crew for interefering with their show, and Scorsese and crew seem irritated with the Stones for interfering with their movie...

And yet I have to say that I liked the U2 3D IMAX movie just a bit more... The music was more varied, for one thing; though it's largely a greatest hits concert there's an amazing range of moods and tones throughout (the extended Stones tend to make the same sound from piece to piece, though what a sound it is).

My favorite concert film is probably URGH! A MUSIC WAR - a collection of punk/new wave concert performances shot in New York and Europe 79-80. The range of bands and sounds is wonderful - there's a good feel for the democracy of the scene, with each band making a strong impression before the cut to the next performance. And the music's pretty superb from start to finish, from The Police to Joan Jett to Gang of Four to Gary Numan (!) to Steel Pulse... I doubt that any two viewers of the film have the same favorite tracks.

As far as music written for movies, I've been studying Bernard Herrmann's work, um, pretty obsessively recently - I'm pleased to have seen VERTIGO again recently, featuring Herrmann's terrific and tragic score. And as I've written elsewhere in the communities, Mogwai's music for ZIDANE: A TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY PORTRAIT is amazing. (Between Herrmann and Mogwai, I want a vibraphone in my apartment.)
