Your favourite music movie?


Just for fun.
Three movies spring to mind for myself when I think of what moves me here.
In no particular order.

Rocky Horror Picture Show.
So camp it is brilliant!
Tim Curry slays it!
Just way too much to begin to mention.
I can still get a blast from it now.
Let's do the Time warp again!

The Blues Brothers.
Ah, Jake and Ellwood.
Just for the record this was the second VHS tape I ever bought( first was Enter the Dragon)
Just so right....

Rock of Ages.
Now before you all run off gagging, it most certainly was not for Cruises wooden performance.
Catherine Zeta Jones was notable though.
No it was for the pair who stole the show.

Alec Baldwin and Russel Brandt.

Simply perfect for the movie.

And then there is the one that towers over all the rest, the one (and only) where director Sergio Leone fulfilled his goal of having the music written first and then the movie, the one where the music truly does make the movie, Ennio Morricone's masterpiece, Once Upon a Time in the West.
Cabin in the Sky. 1943 with Ethyl Waters, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Lena Horne, Louis Armstrong and Busby Berkeley. Songs by Yip Harburg.
Yip Harburg deserves special mention. He wrote all the songs for The Wizard of Oz including the number one movie musical song of all time, Over the Rainbow.

On another front, I can't believe nobody has mentioned 42nd Street.
I absolutely agree with Cabin in the Sky and Wizard of Oz.  I do like many Morricone film scores as well.  The music of Braveheart just don't seem as memorable but is a good film scores as well.  Eraserhead and Good Night and Good Luck used already published music and the former had unique sounds, no Bernard Herrmann level composition for sure.   Most younger people have not heard or seen the classic film scores of the 1930s to 1980s.  I have among my large music collection, 400+ film soundtracks, mostly LPs.  I have eliminated many more because I can sit through them as listening music only (I have about 300 more that I need to remove from my home).
