recommend me some rock films

[Catduck]

hi guys
can anyone recommend me some music related films based on rock/metal
please?
have just see "the runaways" and loved it
wanted to see it because of "prey for rock and roll"
and also loved "spinal tap","rockstar","walk the line","walk hard".
anything similar anyone can suggest?

"School of Rock" - the last comedy Jack Black did that was actually any good!

Almost Famous.

Anvil! The Story of Anvil

[PulsatingStar]

Can only think or Airheads, which I seem to remember was alright although that was about 15 years ago.

Rush - Beyond the lighted stage

Breaking Glass is quite good. Oh and The Commitments, not rock though.

Agreed - Superb, funny, and moving film.

Spinal Tap

Don't know if these even vaguely count, but a couple of 'feelgood' high-school type films, with excellent rock soundtracks:

'Dazed & Confused' and 'Detroit Rock City'

the woodstock documentary is well worth watching. it's half live performances, half wondering through the crowds meeting various characters and organising staff etc.

gimme shelter - rolling stones rockumanetary, including the altamont gig.

don't look back - only if you're a dylan fan though

ziggy stardust - more of a concert really, though amusing for the scenes of bowie doing quick changes into various stupid costumes, skintight pink&green striped suits and 12" platforms.

Tommy is quite possibly the weirdest film i've ever seen, enjoyed it though

"The Doors" Film might be worth checking out, though i wasn't a massive fan

Does 'HELP' count?
