My favorites are:
1. That Thing You Do
2. Eddie & The Cruisers
3. This Is Spinal Tap
I'm a real sucker for this genre of movies. Other favorites?

yeah, me too.
I guess my favorite is Almost Famous, but Streets of Fire is a close second...

Does Zachariah (A Head of His Time) count? Country Joe and the Fish, the James Gang, Elvin Jones, Doug Kershaw, the New York Rock and Roll Ensemble, White Lightnin', Joe Walsh and others are real musicians, but they weren't playing themselves...

How could I forget Streets Of Fire?? Ellen Aim & The Attackers were great, and nothing has ever come close to Diane Lane in her leather outfit complete with neck choker.

Color me crazy, but I actually liked Rock Star; I thought Marky Mark did a great job, and the boy can sing!
Nothing compares to Spinal Tap, though.

i thought A Mighty Wind came close... but, BIG BOTTOM...? that was classic (if not a little sexist)

The thing that separates Spinal Tap from all the other heavy metal bands are their amplifiers....they go one notch higher on the volume level, all the way up to 11.

Well, that and The Black Album... because, "how much blacker can it be? And the answer is... none. None blacker."
What about "Walk Hard"? ;)

I haven't seen Spinal Tap yet... sadly, but I agree with your other choices and I would add one that seems to get over looked a lot...The Commitments. It's my absolute favorite.
I believe there was a sequel of sorts for it, but can't remember the name of it.
I tend to be a bigger fan of space or sports movies, but Fictional Band Movies are most always a good watch.
