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.

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).
So how about The Hollywood Revue of 1929  with an incredible line up of stars of the time but principally for the debut of "Singin' in the Rain" by Cliff Edwards.

Cliff Edwards, or Ukulele Ike as he was known at the time went on to be both the voice of Jiminy Cricket and the singer of "When you wish upon a Star".
It's quite a movie.
Unfortunately, Singin in the Rain was written for a The Hollywood Music Box Revue and recorded several times prior to the movie where Cliff Edwards made it super famous (so not written for a soundtrack/movie). The Pinocchio song was a film original as great as Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Well okay, the Hollywood Music Box Review was a couple of months or so prior to the movie and Cliff had the film debut. He was a very memorable performer.


The Mouseketeers have provided some rather colorful reminiscences of Cliff...
