So...does Woodstock count as a movie or a full length concert? I can see where it might be both.

Damn,great call on The Commitments,I just went blank on that one.

I don't recall the title, but it's that movie where that naked blonde hot chick blows some humming tune on a weird-looking flute.

[Dartgod]

Damn,great call on The Commitments,I just went blank on that one.

That was one of the first ones I thought of. The Mrs. turned me on to that movie. Awesome soundtrack.

[mr. tegu]

This is a stretch but "O Brother Where Art Thou"

[blaise]

Does the South Park movie count as a musical?

[Munson]

What about Forgetting Sarah Marshall? If so, I'm adding it to my list.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Classic

[Canofbier]

This is a stretch but "O Brother Where Art Thou"

That movie has a phenomenal soundtrack. Not a "music based" movie in the sense that I think this thread is talking about, but it wouldn't be the same without the music it has.

[doomy3]

I'm surprised Hustle and Flow hasn't been mentioned yet. I would put that on my list.

[frankotank]

Does the South Park movie count as a musical?

oh hell yeah! great movie. rep! the songs are actually pretty damn good!
uncle fucker, blame canada, mmmkay (don't say shit say poo or doo mmmkay)
my fav is when satan is singing about being "up there"...hits the high note at the end. BRILLIANT!

my friend and I actually saw it at the movies when it first came out. spur of the moment alcohol fueled decision. we're sitting there in a mostly black crowd laughing our asses off until the part where they put operation body shield into effect! we were both shrinking down in our seats like.....oh.....my.....GOD! there CANNOT be a more racist moment in all of south park than that scene! (yes including the wheel of fortune episdode)

[Chiefnj2]

In no particular order: Wizard of Oz, Singin' in the Rain, White Christmas, Rocky Horror, Grease, Saturday Night Fever?, Rent.

There were also musical elements in the original Willy Wonka.

[Braincase]

Rock Star
Sid & Nancy
Streets of Fire
What's Love Got To Do With It?

I'm sure you know, but the lead singer of that band was 16 years old when they made that movie.

[Frazod]

Almost Famous
La Bamba
Rock Star
The Wall
Eddie and the Cruisers (hell, I even liked the second one)

Couldn't really think of five more I'd classify as favorites. There are a couple listed in this thread that I haven't seen, though.

[Nzoner]

Streets of Fire
The Rose


Good picks,I wished to hell I could find the opening theme to Streets Of Fire as it's not on the soundtrack.I'm fairly sure it's Ry Cooder but have yet to find it.

[Dartgod]

Although it loosely fits the "music themed movie" description, I'd still like to mention American Graffiti as a candidate. The music had a prominent role in the movie, IMO.

[Gracie Dean]

The Temptations
Coal Miners Daughter
Patsy Cline story



among several of the ones already mentioned
Grease
Rock Star (just watched it last week) Ordered the sound track yesterday
Ray
Walk the Line
Buddy Holly Story

[Gracie Dean]

Although it loosely fits the "music themed movie" description, I'd still like to mention American Graffiti as a candidate. The music had a prominent role in the movie, IMO.

And it featured Wolf Man Jack.

I hate that today's youth have NO IDEA who he is

[Dartgod]

A few more that haven't been mentioned. Not necessarily in my top 10, but music related nonetheless.

Footloose
Dirty Dancing
Airheads
Hairspray
Jesus Christ Superstar
Coal Miner's Daughter

[Nzoner]

I'm sure you know, but the lead singer of that band was 16 years old when they made that movie.

Actually I did not,you really do learn something new everyday.

[MoreLemonPledge]

Not sure if Sweeney Todd has been mentioned.
