What is your favorite rock and roll movie?

Fiction: This Is Spinal Tap (1984)

Non-Fiction: Iron Maiden: Flight 666 (2009)

KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (1978) (Just kidding)

My favorite is probably That Thing You Do! (1996) with all of it's corny innocence.

If we are talking band documentaries, then I'll go with The Kids Are Alright (1979).

The Girl Can't Help It (1956)

"It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations" Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Hmm . . .

Concert film: Stop Making Sense (1984)
Documentary: Dont Look Back (1967)
Feature film: Tommy (1975) (Can't think of any really satisfying rock and roll story I've seen; at least this one has garish production values, the Who's music, and Ann-Margret rolling around in baked beans and chocolate)

Loneliness has followed me my whole life, everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks,stores, everywhere

Aside from This is Spinal Tap and Stop Making Sense

Sid and Nancy
Backbeat
Eddie and the Cruisers

The Kids Are Alright (1979)

Just a mish-mash of Who stuff and it's glorious. It covers the Keith Moon years right up to his very last performance with the band.
