This is also so I can get some recommendations, so post away.

Step Across the Border. Greatest ever.

A new one on me. what's the subject matter? I am looking forward to the new Sigur Ros too.

It's a "documentary" on guitarist Fred Frith, as he travels across the world and plays with a diverse array of local musicians. It's not in the usual style of a documentary, though, there's no exposition whatsoever and most of the film shows Fred Frith playing music. Interspliced are a few scenes of Fred Frith and the filmmaker philosophizing about music, and then stock footage from their travels or whatever set to the music. It's all BW, and it's got a great flow, plus the music is awesome.

On the list to watch. You young whippersnappers come in handy sometimes!

Stardust

David Essex plays the singer of a 60s rock n roll band who starts struggling with the pressure , gets hooked on drugs , becomes a recluse in a spanish castle ,goes mental , writes a pretentious rock opera about his dead mother & dies.

Also has Keith Moon playing his drummer.

Spinal Tap.

Eddie and the Cruisers!

This topic contradicts itself. Favorite music related films but no musicals. I see said the blind man...

So does that mean I wouldn't be allowed to say 'Across the Universe'? Or when 'Sweeney Todd' comes out, I won't be able to say that? Those are both musicals.
