movies similar to the thing called love


hey guys,
just wondering does anyone know of some movies that are similar to this one?
with the aspiring singer/songwriters trying to make it big.
i've been looking but can't really find anything on my own,
thanks!

Coyote Ugly...? Well I mean it's not similar but songwriter trying to make it big.

reply

Not the exact same, but Pure Country is close.

If you are interested in the singing theme, then "Duets" with Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis. That was a really fun movie to watch. All those actors sang pretty good!

reply

thanks for all the suggestions guys! i'll def check them out.



i wish sometimes that i wasn't as conscious as i am.

Also try SONGWRITER; Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and others as old pros on a road tour, with novices tagging along, trying to get the big break. Rats on the business end as the bad guys. And Melinda Dillon has one of the great-to-quote lines: "Selling your soul is one thing, but your copyrights ? How COULD you? Worth a viewer's time.

Country Strong is sort of like it.


I wish I could find TTCL on DVD for a decent price. It like fifty-six bucks on Amazon and I can't find it anywhere else. Why is it so expensive? Why would anyone pay that price for a two hour movie? I hardly ever pay that price for a season set of any show I like. Yeesh!

reply

True, you can only wish it gets released as one of those budget $5 titles in the bulk bins at Walmart, Big Lots, or Michaels. Have you tried eBay? Flea markets? Garage sales?...

No one has mentioned Coal Miners Daughter. It's about Loretta Lynn and it shows the struggle and fight she and her husband made to get Loretta's music heard. It's one of my favorite movies. The book is great too.
