If I had to pick one all time favorite music film, it would be Get Crazy, about a small time promoter's efforts to put on a big New Year's Eve concert. The film is both a funny satire and celebration of the rock world. A number of musicians have roles in the film. Lou Reed plays a hilarious Dylan-like figure, whose every utterance, no matter how mundane, the other characters in the film regard as great insight. Former teen hearthrobs Fabian and Bobby Sherman are also funny as the bad guy's henchmen. The version to see is the uncut one, not the one censored for network television.
