 Need I say more?  Oh, OK then. I'll have 'A Hard Day's Night' and 'The Commitments' too. |

Enjoyed the Commitments
I think my favourite comic one would be Still Crazy

To be honest, I could swap A Hard Days Night for Still Crazy, but I had to pick one. It really was a mental coin-toss.

Can only happen in films Jack Butler (Steve Vai) being beaten by the Karate Kid in a guitar duel.
When auditioning for the part They put an add in Guitar player that went something like Guitarist wanted for a film must play better and look better than Eddie Can Halen. Vai was the only person who auditioned

Round Midnight Not forgetting Searching for Sugarman Buena Vista Social Club The Blues Brothers High Fidelity - speaks to anyone who ever searched for a rare record. (Good, even if it is translated into an American setting in the transition from book to film) Anvil: The Story of Anvil - a real life Spinal Tap and almost as funny

I watched and really enjoyed 'It Might Get Loud' yesterday.
It's something I have wanted to see since it was released but haven't really had a chance to until I spotted it through the window of a charity shop that I was passing. The price? £0.25!
There was a moment in it where Jimmy Page plays a snippet of 'Whole Lotta Love' and the looks on the faces of his audience (Jack White and The Edge) are priceless. Sheer awe.
I also really appreciated the section where they all play 'In My Time of Dying'...
