Movies that hold your concentration trying to catch heavy metal references?

So what movies hold you at attention trying to catch more and more metal references?

Rock Star, although a shitty movie, was fun to catch all the Priest references.

Little Nicky was a nice little gem too. Any movie that opens with the Running with the Devil riff is awesome in my book.

Lots of Adam Sandler's flicks have Roth references as he is a big fan. In his last movie, 50 First Dates, Sandler's name was Henry Roth.

The Wedding Singer comes to mind where he mentions the break up of VH.

Yep. The movie's set in early 1985, and his ex is wearing a shirt with the VH II artwork on it. Sandler says "...take my Van Halen shirt off before you jinx them and break up the band!!

Clever writing, as was the incident with Billy Idol on the plane. Though it was obviously a late 90's Billy Idol and not the 1985 version it was supposed to be. And where the Hell was Steve Stevens anyway?

How about the classic scene from "Better Off Dead" in which the main character played by John Cusack is eating lunch in the school cafeteria and his Cheeseburger comes alive as a (claymation) EVH and starts playing "Everybody Wants Some!" Awesome shit!

There was this old Ellen Barkin flick in the early 90s called "SWITCH" that played RWTD! Perry King was this asshole womanizer killed by his lovers, then was given a chance to redeem himself as a WOMAN (Ellen Barkin!)

The 'Devil' (Bruce Payne) tried to tempt Ellen's character to reproduce with him as RWTD was playing in the background!

Funny flick!

Detroit Rock City wasn't that bad, and had a good soundtrack.
