Best line of the film:
"I look like Stevie f***ing Nicks!"


Close second: "But what about the farewell drugs?"

"So, do I have to-bleep- you or what?"

Oh man, that voice, how he never hung himself is beyond me.

Ah, good call! That one's way up on the list for me as well.

Either "The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus" or "Tommy" did it for me...but then again, I haven't seen too many rock films.

This was a thread about the rock movie pertaining to your age/generation right? To the others I'll list "The Decline of a Western Civilization(part 1 only!), UKDK, and Surburbia."

Will you be my new bff?



Decline 2: The Metal Years may be the funniest R&R movie I've ever seen. Whether it was intentionally funny is debatable.

I like the guy who says that they are a million dollar check that can't be cashed. Wonder if he's still hustling rent money in West Hollywood!

You betcha Greg, Ricks juat ain't for the Beatles anymore!-Joe D forever!!!

It may not be the greatest, but one that should not be forgotten is Roadie, a Meat Loaf vehicle from the early 80s (I think) that featured appearances and cameos by a whole bunch of real-world musicians.

Performance:

this is a great film thats a must see.

This.

Friends told me I should have been in this movie. The tours I have done were a cross between Spinal Tap and Hard Core Logo.
Here it is online: WARNING Language, violence, adult situations and loud music.


Bruce McDonalds earlier effort Roadkill is also a really good rock & roll movie.

The Magic Christian:

I gotta say, is this like the best thread ever? You guys are bringing it all home here. I love it. Great choices and thanks for the clips, some I'd forgotten completely.

Not the greatest rock movie , in fact wasn't a rock movie, but hey only movie my mates The Searchers ever appeared in so counts in my book.

It counts in my book, too, Roy...for the same reason that The Party is a great jazz movie...



Okay, sorry for the thread drift...back to 'Rock'...
