I adore RATTLE & HUM. U2 is one of my favs and I have always loved BB King. It's a great document of a great band.Here's another:
HEAD starring The Monkees. Written by Bob Rafelson and Jack Nicholson. Best viewed when under the ganja.
Stop Making Sense / Talking Heads
The Wall / Pink FloydThese two have to be on the list !!!
Love 'em both but I couldn't have them with the Top Ten unless it was a Top Twelve. THey are right up there, though.
I'm glad you mentioned The Wall, as I hadn't thought of it, and it absolutely has to be on the list. Sorry I haven't seen The Talking Heads movie, but it does indeed seem to be well renowned. I think Purple Rain should probably be on the list also. Unfortunately, many of these lists seem to be skewed toward the 60's and 70's. Some of us younger folks (I'm 37) may have a slightly different perspective.Todd
I didn't much care for PURPLE RAIN. Despite the high critical success, I have always found the movie to be pretentious and dull. It's CITIZEN KANE next to UNDER A CHERRY MOON, however.
Stop Making Sense is damn great! I saw parts of it on a wealthy system of huge horns and BAT signature series amplification, on a huge screen, and I think a super dooper Sony video equipment, at a Stereophile show in NY last Spring. Pretty awesome.
