Good "In a Band" movies

While Gye Greene and The Lady were off at work today, I watched three good "being in a band" movies back-to-back. They were:

*Spinal Tap (best scenes: "Do a great show, o.k.?" and the scene directly after; also, "This one goes to eleven")

*That Thing You Do (best scenes: first public performance of the song; first hearing it on the radio)

*Still Crazy (best scenes: the energetic performance of "All Over the World Tonight"; the concert at the end, when overcoming stage nerves)

All of these are especially meaningful if you are -- or were -- in a rock band. If you were ever in a band: RENT THEM!!!


GG has all of them on DVD (well, That Thing You Do is on VHS). He tends to only buy movies if there's a scene he really likes, so he can fast-forward to "the good scenes" and watch them over and over. This drives me (and The Lady) nuts sometimes, but we both put up with it.

GG and I both recommend all three of the soundtracks. Go buy 'em. (But, used is o.k.)
