That reminds me, has anyone ever seen Get Him to the Greek?

Wayne's World 1 & 2 and SpinialTap. Those are hard to beat. Never got that SpinalTap years ago. Now, after toured with bands several years it's just so hilarious.

My top choice is the only one that goes to 11, naturally.

The Rockumentary, if you will, known as This is Spinal Tap!

I've seen so many at really odd hours that I don't even remember names anymore.

Spinal Tap (of course)
Some movie documenting African Americans in punk music (not stellar, but good)
That thrash metal documentary (enjoyed this quite a bit)
Electric Apricot (see everyone else's comments about it)
ANOTHER metal documentary

That's all I can think of at the moment. I'm sure there's more.

My favorite Josie & the Pussycats, School of Rock, Hustle and Flow. I like my films, involves a fictional band has been the story or documentary. My list of movies, some of whom may be absurd, but I seriously do not care,

Not THE favourite but certainly one of them:

A film about a reunion of a once successful Rock band in the 70's. VERY English in it's humour.

Absolutely surreal Belgian jet black comedy about a Punk band but it turns into something else entirely. Not for the faint hearted but utterly original and mad as a box of frogs.

Totally forgot Almost Famous. Loved that movie. Such a depressingly realistic take on the rock n roll lifestyle.

It's only my all-time favourite movie.

YES! Here is the rebooted theme by Juliana Hatfield and Tanya Donnelly!
