Stifled Dreams:
Well, the other night, I saw "Fearless Freaks" which is a movie about the Flaming Lips. It was really good, especially since I like them a lot. We had to drive to Cambridge to see it in this little theatre, though.

So, what movies about bands (or starring members of bands, a la Help!) have you seen? And how were they?

Sorry if there was already a topic similar to this, I've never seen anything like it myself, though.

Istrument
Fucking FUGAZI!!!!!!!! Worth just the live footage alone!

Instrument is amazing. I'm also a big fan of Smoke which Jem Cohen also made about the incredible Benjamin Smoke. It's pretty depressing though, it was such a loss when he died.

However, Rock 'N' Roll High School starring the Ramones is probably the greatest band movie of all time. It's a cheap Corman exploitation number but actually has a real innocent charm to it, and a lot of Ramones songs. Also worth mentioning is the absolute height of camp which is the Village People movie. Steve Guttenburg actually manages to look gayer than the band!

a pack of wolves:
You wouldn't believe it, but yes, somehow Guttenburg manages it. At one point he's sporting the smallest shorts known to mankind. Sheer genius.

i've seen 'stop making sense' by the talking heads.. the concept was quite good, but i didn't know enough of the songs to truly enjoy it

EDIT: i forgot about the big suit.. it rocks my world
