Rock N Roll Movies

[Fabulous Shadow]

What's your favorite Rock N Roll movie?

I have to say, I'm a big fan of Almost Famous... I watch it often.
I especially like the part where the plane is going down and everyone is fessing up!

[ThrillsNSpills]

Tommy

For the version of I'm Free.

[ThatArtGuy]

This is Spinal Tap (Get the DVD, lots of extras.)

and

Detroit Rock City (Not big on Kiss, but the movie was pretty funny.)

[Nickdfresh]

Pink Floyd "The Wall"

[ThrillsNSpills]

Detroit Rock City was funny.

[DaveIsKing]

THE WALL. Hands down. Landslide.

[Ally_Kat]

I'll get razzed for this --

Josie and the Pussycats

[nosuchluck]

Airheads was funny!
and it had a Classic Van Halen reference which was cool!

[SensibleShoes]

Also love Almost Famous - it's like flashing back to H.S. for me. Clothes, music, atmosphere - total deja vu. Get to the concert scenes and CRANK the stereo.

YEARS ago there was an animated film called Heavy Metal.

That "Rock Star" movie makes me laugh really hard - sometimes I watch it cause it's so stupid.

Never saw the Van Kilmer/Jim MOrrison thing.

And I loved all the Beatles Movies.

Actually I think I watched part of that to stare at Rachel Lee Cook.

[Fabulous Shadow]

Ya know Ralph Saenz from the Punks had a small roll in Rock Star. There were some good songs in that movie.

[diamondsgirl]

He sang Cali Girls in that too, didn't he?

[Fabulous Shadow]

No, he just knda did some Rothesque hollars. He was auditioning for the lead singer part that Mark Whalburg ended up getting.

[Jack68]

THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT! DVDversion of course,great extras.To watch Keith Moon go from the greatest drummer of all time to a fat, bloated, alcoholic, no skills, hack.Quite depressing but a great film nonthe less.

[Alias]

Some Kind of Monster (Metallica)

but, I thought we also heard him singing Cali Girls during the movie. Sounded (almost) just like Dave but the credits said it was him..

No?? Am I imagining this?:confused:

[Alias]

No, it was him.

It should be obivious to any real Roth fan that that was NOT Dave's version of Cali Girls.

It even says it was Saenz in the credits...

By "him" I meant Ralph, not Dave.

Dazed and Confused

Ralph is a cat. I had a drink with him when the Punks came here about two years ago. :)

[Switch84]

:o I'm not big on R&R movies.

[diamondsgirl]

I saw him with Metal Shop years ago. Seems very cool. :cool:

[lucky wilbury]

I was agreeing with you. Fabulous was wrong.

I was trying to tell her she was wrong in the nicest possible way. :)

I'm not sure about this? I dont remember that part?

[DeadOrAlive]

Dazed and Confused was great because of the music. Fast Times at Ridgemont High is just a great movie. It seems that movies from the 80's are the absolute best!

HMMM??? So in the part where he was auditioning, he was singing Cali Girls? I have watched this movie 3 times and never caught that. :o

[DeadOrAlive]

[DeadOrAlive]

I believe the part where we hear Ralph singing is when they are heading out to Cali.

[Fabulous Shadow]

But Ralph was PHYSICALLY in the movie singing. Not just his voice. So was he actually IN the movie AND singing TRACKS for it? Interesting... I have that soundtrack. I'll have to check it out. Sheese... Now I just may have to ewnt it again too... :)

[bueno bob]

Rock Star and Rock and Roll High School.

[Matt White]

THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME.

[Atomic_Rob]

Have any of you seen Still Crazy? Love that film

[Rikk]

If we're talking documentary, I'd say THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT.

But if we're talking movie, I'd say The Ramones movie, ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL!!!

No, he was singing a Steel Dragon song for his audition. During the scene when they're picked up from the airport in the limo, you hear Ralph singing California Girls in the background.

[DeadOrAlive]

Oh yeah, I remember that!!

Ok, well this was what I was talking about, the part of the movie that Ralph actually acted in, but thanks dg for trying to tell me I was wrong in the nicest possible way. ;)

Suburbia.
Not the piece of crap that came out in the early nineties with kids hanging at a convenience store, but the Penelope Sphearis film from the early eighties. Punk Rock at its best.

[Fabulous Shadow]

What about "Valley Girl" Would that count? Not RnR but still a great music movie!
