Best Rock and Roll Movie?

I know there's a lot of good ones out there. But my favorite, by far, is

ROCK AND ROLL HIGH SCHOOL

headbang horns

I absolutely LOVE that movie

The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years (Penelope Spheeris) 1988


The Decline of Western Civilization III (Penelope Spheeris) 1998


We Sold Our Souls for Rock 'n Roll (Penelope Spheeris) 2001

This one's a stretch, but I have to go with "Repo Man" since the Circle Jerks (and Suicidal Tendencies) were featured heavily in it.

Oh, and "Sid and Nancy".


Oh, and "Almost Famous"! headbang I love that movie.

i have the directors cut, the little extra parts make the movie so much better. i didnt think it could get better until i saw the little things that were taken out.

Does "Streets of fire" count? That is one movie that just would not be made today.....



Film almost defies 80's as does "Purple rain" so of an aqquired taste I suppose!
