What are your favorite movies that center around music/musicians (real or fake).

I liked the following:

Crazy Hearts (with Jeff Bridges)

Rudderless (with Billy Crudrup) excellent movie

Whiplash (J.K. Simmons unbelievably good) not a jazz guy but superb movie

Spinal Tap (of course!)


Crossroads---by far my fave as I'm a blues fan (if you couldnt tell from my screen name). Great writing centered around the Robert Johnson myth, good acting (Robert Seneca NAILS the crusty old bluesman role) and some killer guitar and harp work by Steve Vai, Ry Cooder and Sonny Terry. 🎸👍🏻


It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...

Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.

Stupidity has no average...

"Bird" is very good. "The Sound of Music" and "The Music Man" are centered on music, done with excellence, have been big hits - and enduring.

Trick or Treat and Crossroads, as already listed.
Maximum Overdrive, not really a music movie but great soundtrack.
