Sure we’ve all seen or at least heard of “A Hard Day’s Night”, “Jailhouse Rock”, and “Don’t Look Back” – all legendary movies about legendary musicians, but what about movies about the music itself? Here’s your accumulative top five:
1) Hustle and Flow – Terrence Howard stars in this great movie about breaking barriers in the music business.
2) The Blues Brothers Movies – Oh yeah. That’s all that can be said about these music, fun, and comedy filled movies that make you want to sing, dance, and laugh at the same time. Memorable characters and memorable guest stars make for some memorable movies.
3) School of Rock – Well, you’re not hardcore (like Jack Black) unless you live hardcore – or maybe that’s unless you can teach a whole bunch of fifth graders what it means to really feel the wonderful music that is rock and roll.
4) Once – This movie didn’t get the largest amount of buzz when it came out around a year ago but since winning that Oscar for the song “Falling Slowly”, it certainly got more notice. A moving, exciting, and inspiring movie.
5) Walk the Line – Joaquin Phoenix shows off some serious acting skills in his portrayal of Johnny Cash, alongside Reese Witherspoon who won a best actress Oscar for her performance. A great movie about the ‘highs’ and lows of making it big in the industry.
Writer’s suggestion: Idlewild – Andre 3000 and Big Boi of Outkast team up together again for a great film about mixing the music of the past with the music of the future. Artistically mastered in all parts of production and a real memorable piece.
