So whats your favorite music themed movie?

both crossroads, yes the ralph macchio flick, and black snake moan. the crossroads soundtrack was disappointing because it was so different from the movie. another good music movie, from all the great tunes in it was when harry met sally, but again the soundtrack was not music from the flick but all harry connick jr. There was a jazz movie a while back with dexter gordon as the lead but i do not remember the name of it. and yes the previously mentioned graduate.

Home Alone. My Dad got me listening to this and I just love it. Fun flick too.

Not a movie but A Charlie Brown Christmas on vinyl! Oooh ya!

Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Can you really forget the charisma of Robin Zander?

For me The day remains the same.Great movie and Soundtrack.

I love the Blues Brothers. All of it. Belushi was a genius.

And the music of course.

But I wonder if the ’documentary’ aspects of the movie are under appreciated. In other words, Cab Calloway, Aretha, James Brown, Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker. These folks are gone now and those performances were great.

Shaft hands down. A B movie but boy was the music outstanding! Isaac Hayes won the Oscar for best song in shaft. There’s not one song on the double album that isn’t listenable. It’s truly an absolute gem of an album that I still listen to today, 50 years later. Talk about timeless.

The songs Cafe Regio and Ellie’s Love Theme have a jazz feel. Most of the album has an R&B feel. It’s over an hour of great music. 

Lady Sings The Blues is a very close second. Diana Ross killed it on this album. The French Jazz Musician Michel Legrand wrote the orchestration. Superbly done!
