10 Best Music Movies

I love music and I love movies and I love music movies. Movies that feature bands, musicians and great music. I have so many that I love and many that I hate. This list is all about the ones that make me smile. Here’s my 10 favorite music movies that rock my world…

Hard Days Night – By far the greatest music movie of all time. The Beatles and director Richard Lester at their best! One of my biggest influences.
Sid & Nancy – A brilliant performance by Gary Oldham makes this movie shine. You know how its going to end, but you still watch anyways.
Singles – So many great memories from this grunge movie. Another great soundtrack and the premiere party in LA was epic!
8 Mile – It was Eminem’s breakout and has a great soundtrack.
Help! – The Beatles follow up to Hard Days Night was super fun and of course the soundtrack rules.
Almost Famous – Simply brilliant. Love this movie in every way. The first time I saw it I cried, because I could relate to the kid and his passion for music.
Control – Anton Corbijn’s great movie about Joy Division. An awesome movie with great music & performances.
Saturday Night Fever – Not about a band or musician, but its about music. Its about disco and the 70’s! I remember going to see it a ton of times when I was in High School.
Purple Rain – One word… Prince!
Hustle & Flow – Seriously a fucking great movie!!! So very raw. Crazy as fuck!
