  but Dig is great, as are many other pop music documentaries, including Julian Temple's fabulous Glastonbury, which is released in the U.S. tomorrow.

          ... through the most beautiful music made by the saddest people, especially Curtis and Hannett who, in my opinion, were right on the brink of becoming the greatest partnership since the Beatles/George Martin.
          Its a strange moment to find yourself laughing at people you know are about to die.
          Apart from having known the characters, which obviously skews my view, I think its one of the very best films about the music business that I have seen, and its essences are true. Just not a documentary...

            or it may be out already, not sure, it's been getting good pre-release buzz.

  Depends on what you mean by pop. I love the Blues Brothers.
  I also like the movies about Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, and Coal Miner's Daughter. Can't remember who Coal Miner's Daugter was about :)

  I also liked Woodstock: The Movie, and The Last Waltz, but I guess one wouldn't say they fit here.

  • Wasn't Walk The Line just Ray Part II ? - Doug Flynn 10:53:53 02/21/07 (1)

    Hi

    When I saw Walk The Line I thought to myself, "This is just Ray Part II".

    It was the *same* movie. Same structure, same plot (even down to the childhoom accident which claimed both their brother's lives), same drug abuse, same personal conflicts. Yawn.

    I hope Dreamgirls is not another formula movie.

    Cheers. Doug
