Best music DVD

HAL9000HAL9000 Frets: 9107
edited October 2013 in Music
Following on from the 'Best ever live album' thread I thought I'd start a best music DVD thread but...  probably not what you'd expect. Rather than actual music DVDs (let's face it - we all know Pulse is the winner) what I'd like to know about are films such as The Commitments, the excellent This Is Spinal Tap, etc
I play guitar because I enjoy it rather than because I’m any good at it

    It Might Get Loud (probabally classed as a documentary though).

    Once is rather brilliant (there's a link with the commitments in that one).

    I've not seen it for years but I remember enjoying Backbeat (story of the early Beatles).

    +1 to Once.

    I've seen Backbeat a ridiculous number of times, I must confess. Ian Hart is great as Lennon

    And @bigjon goes down in my estimation.

     

    Everyone knows the greatest musical fillum ever is Spinal Tap. Closely followed by the return of Spinal Tap (Nigel's Amp Capo is classic)

    Ringleader of the Cambridge cartel, pedal champ and king of the dirt boxes (down to 21)

    Flight 666 - and I'm not even an Iron Maiden fan.

    +1 to Backbeat

    I also really enjoyed That Thing You Do, even though it's a bit lightweight - very well observed and made.

    Only the other week I watched a teen American high school based film called " band slam" and really enjoyed it. Some quality music in it. Everything told me I should hate but there you go.other than that " almost famous"

    The Commitments is like a reference library for what putting together a band is like. You have to watch it at least once.
    I also quite like That Thing You Do like @ICBM.
    I like Crossroads and Roadhouse for the music bits, not great films though.
    Spinal Tap of course.
    Does the Al Jolson story count?
    For documentary probably Deep Blues. You might want to go put the kettle on when Dave Stewart pops up though.
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.
