Yeah, The Harder They Come was a much better "reggae movie".

True about the soundtrack being good. For me I like the movie a lot. You say not so good movie. That's cool obviously, people tastes differ. You never mentioned why you don't think it's a good movie. I'd be interested to know.

Really I guess its not a BAD movie, but its more of just a bunch of reggae. Not that Im complaining because its good music but the movie itself has no real strong plot or nything. Its a Pretty fun art house type movie but as far as dynamic story telling, yes Id rather watch The Harder They Come

You're quite right the film lacks a strong plot. As already said the music is v/good. A friend of mine watched it a while back and also like the reggae, but complained as he thought the acting was on the whole pretty poor.
For me the beauty of the film isn't about convincing portrayals but about the music and the reality of life within the communities depicted in the movie. It convinced me with it's rawness. The film was made I think late 70s. If that was made now I reckon it would have been described as a docufilm or fly on the wall.
