BB has some first rate cameos - James Brown, John Lee Hooker, Aretha Franklin,
Ray Charles, Cab Calloway (the latter has an "acting" role), a really hot band,
and a darn good nearly continuous sound track in the background.

Rattle and Hum shows a great, tight rock band,
feelin their oats, at the top of their game.

The Wall - hardly needs explanation - except to say that a
morbid/melancholy mood is recommended before starting in on it.

Spinal Tap is brilliant - especially the DVD with some hilarious
"Commentaries" (with the core three in character)
and some really good out-takes.
