What's Your Best Rock 'n Roll Movie?
When I read this morning on Cinematical that legendary rock chick Joan Jett will be starring in Endless Bummer, I wondered how good it will be. Jett is a brilliant performer, but she sounds a bit wooden to me on her Sirius radio show. Can't wait to see it, though.
Then, I got to thinking, which is the best rock movie of all time? (Guess I'm still in a rocking mood after Lollapalooza.) The movie has to rock; it has to have an edge; it probably has to have some sort of addiction, too. I'm talking fiction, not documentary. So let's start Round One this way. Which is better Tommy, the tuneful Who adapatation with Ann-Margret or The Rose, which still jerks a tear or two from me, starring Bette Midler? Rock out and let me know.
"This is Spinal Tap" is my favorite. "Decline of the Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years" is a close second.
thanks, ebabe. both cool movies, spinal being one of the greatest anywhere, anytime. but which of these two do you like more, tommy or the rose?
cool . Newman and Redford were cool in
Butch and Sundance. Redford was so cool
he was sometimes cold in Jeremiah Johnson.
But there is ,and never will be anyone
cooler than Luke,maybe what you had
there was a failure to communicate!!
Callin' it your job don't make it right,
boss. Give Mr. Newman his props,none
cooler,hand that Oscar to Luke.
greg, i think you meant to post this on the 'cool movie' blog item, not the rock movie item. so here's the thing. i mean the coolest -- within the list of movies we're showing on AMC. if you want to go outside of the list, we could talk for hours about the coolest movie. i mean, how cool is blue velvet? but i agree, luke is very cool, too.
