Aside from a great story, you got Kate Hudson, Zooey Deschanel, Anna Paquin.

I've always had a soft spot for 'Light Of Day' with Michael J. Fox and Joan Jett:

Almost Famous
Once

Once is, like others have said already, an incredible film. Easily in my top ten.

I'm a real sucker for this genre of movies. Other favorites?





I liked all of those too, and I just bought the Commitments on DVD after owning the soundtrack for so long. One I liked was Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains the Same, but I have several others from bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and the Clash. I have several more and won't bother teting to remember them all here.

My fav is the guys trying to get the band back together. The guys on a mission from God. The guys who play both kinds of music (country and western). The guys who hate Illinois Nazis. The guys who wear their sunglasses even when it's dark. Jake and Elwood and the rest of the SNL band aka The Blues Brothers.

Yes. I really felt their pain singing about how hard it is to be a woman. Great scene! Love the chicken wire.

Really liked the Blues Brothers, the Commitments and Spinal Tap. Also, not mentioned yet, A Mighty Wind was hilarious.

Well, dang. I didn't even realize what a fan of this genre I am. Every post that lists a movie or two, I'm going "Saw it. Loved it."
