Talk About Rock Music

When considering my three top movies which include some aspect of rock music as part of its appeal, I admit I am looking at this completely subjectively. Some films are considered universally as ‘classics’ or artistic films, but the criterion I’m using for these three films is purely the ones I have seen and which I enjoyed. Therefore, I do not include ‘The Doors’ or The Who’s ‘Quadrophenia’ which I have not seen yet. The latest rockumentary, ‘Anvil! The Story Of Anvil’ from last year looks good but again, I have not seen it. And I haven’t included Metallica’s ‘Some Kind Of Monster’ as I also consider that purely a documentary.

Some films have great rock soundtracks but aren’t specifically a rock music feature film, but I have chosen films with a substantial rock element. Some movies I have left out include one of my 80s favourites, ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure’. I also like ‘Detroit Rock City’, but over the next few blog posts I will reveal the movies that made it into my top three.
