Films Based in the 50s + 60s

Well if its films with a 50's/60's music theme running through them how about......
1983's Baby It's You (one of my favourite films actually) starring Rosanna Arquette (playing a 60's straight laced high school girl to Vincent Spano's streetwise character known as "The Sheikh")
Or how about Tom Hank's 1996 film "That Thing You Do" following the rise & fall of a fictitious 1964 pop group.
1991's doo-wop film "The Five Heartbeats" also fits the bill as well as the very recent film "Dreamgirls" too but I have to confess that I have not actually seen this last film-Yet!
Or lastly why not try the 1996 little gem "Grace of my Heart" starring Illeana Douglas as a singer/songwriter whose best songs always seem to get given to other performers (the film is very loosely based on the life of Carole King).
These are some of my favourites to keep you going anyway-Enjoy!

One of the all time best....American Graffiti. The greatest 50's movie ever made!

It's about early 1960's greaser gangs in New York.

Cheers!

Deuces Wild (it's not the greatest movie ever, but if you like films based in the 50s/60s you'll really like it)

The Shag ( a very cool movie about a group of girls and their vacation)

A Bronx Tale ( a gangster film, but its based in the 1960s and the soundtrack and plot are great)

The In Crowd(1988) (cool movie about an American Bandstand-like show and the kids who dance on it- wonderful soundtrack)

The first three Gidget movies (gidget is a surfer girl)

The Beach Party movies (starring Frankie and Annette and other early 60s teen stars)

Dirty Dancing

Peggy Sue Got Married (At her high school reunion Peggy Sue faints and goes back in time to when she was a teenager in the 1960s- cool movie)

I'll try to think of some more
