![]() The pop art perfection of A Hard Day’s Night captures the greatest band ever in their greatest movie.

![]() A film directed, written, and starred in by Tom Hanks can’t be bad right? This feel good film with a catchy sound track from 1996 starred Hanks with little known actors Liv Tyler, Ethan Embry, Tom Everett Scott, Giovanni Ribisi and Charlize Theron as a bunch of small town kids in the 60’s. Follo… |

![]() Part cultural artifact, part rock-n-roll circus, Scorsese’s film elegantly captures the ageless wonder of the Rolling Stones.

Hugely funny, surprisingly dramatic, trenchantly trendy: Get Him to the Greek upholds the purple perfection of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, its prequel. Easily the best rockstar movie ever, it’s funnier and has better music than Spinal Tap…

![]() The world’s greatest rock & roll band – at the peak of their powers – glimmers brightly in Hal Ashby’s awkwardly titled movie documenting their massive 1981 stadium tour.

![]() This film is AWESOME. It starts as a mini documentary about the musical artists who performed the songs in the Coen Brothers’ film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, but then spends most of its time showing the live concert in Nashville, TN…

![]() Yes! Hot music, hot band, hot film. If you’re looking for a great musical experience, I’d say put this at the top of your queue. And don’t worry, all you red-blooded Americans, Natalie Maines only mentions Toby Keith once :-)
