Bravo for mentioning "American Hot Wax" - Rob Doorack 06:47:48 01/14/02 (1)
American Hot Wax has what I think is the single truest, most insightful line about rock 'n' roll in any movie. It's in the scene where Lorraine Newman is sitting in a stairwell as the doo-wop group sings her songs onstage. She's crying and someone asks why, and she replies, "I never had anything until I found the music."

  I thought that must be how Carole King felt when she first heard one of her songs performed. Maybe I'll watch "Grace Of My Heart" again.

Excellent choices, even though I don't consider AMERICAN GRAFFITI a rock and roll picture, it's close enough that I won't argue.
Did you by chance mean "Still Crazy?" - Audiophilander 09:11:19 01/12/02 (1)
One of my favorite rock films, next to "Almost Famous" -- great flick!

  "Get Crazy" was a 1983 concert comedy by Allan Arkush that featured a hilarious Lou Reed sequence.

I didn't notice "The Wall" already mentioned twice.
Howzabout Penelope Spheeris' films: "The Decline of Western Civilization" and "Suburbia"?
