What are some of your favorite rock and roll films, all-time?

[bluzman61]

This would include films about a certain rock and roll musician or musicians, and also films not necessarily about rock and roll, but with a rock and roll soundtrack. My favorites include Pink Floyd's The Wall, The Song Remains The Same, and Tommy.

I'll add Xanadu to my favorites. The movie itself was cheesy, but the soundtrack was quite good, with some excellent music by ELO and Olivia Newton-John.

Heavy Metal

I remember seeing this one in a theater when I was about 19 years old. The animation was cool, and the music was pretty darn good.
