Year: 1970
Director: Michael Wadleigh
Plot: This musical documentary covers the three-day 1969 music festival on the property of Max Yasger's farm that symbolized the late 1960s in terms of musical, social and political ideology of the era. American audiences are introduced to Ten Years After, featuring guitar great Alvin Lee. Jimi Hendix, The Who and Joe Cocker give riveting performances. As naked flower children romp, the New York freeway is closed because of traffic congestion. Music lovers leave their cars and travel on foot only survive torrential downpours of rain, food shortages and non-stop music. Jefferson Airplane gives the wake up call with their song "Volunteers Of America." Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young give an uneven live performance, their second ever. John Sebastian gives an impromptu set with a borrowed guitar from Tim Hardin. Santana, Sly and The Family Stone, Sha-Na-Na, Arlo Guthrie, Richie Havens and Joan Baez also appear. The movie did big box office business and a successful three record set sold millions of copies. The Grateful Dead, The Everly Brothers, Credence Clearwater Revival and Janis Joplin performed but were not shown in the film. The Dead's Jerry Garcia recalled that it was the worse live show the band ever did, ironic for a band known for their spirited live performances. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

Body: Woodstock followed by Gimme Shelter. Watch as flower power wilts. I'm trying to get myself in a different headspace than thinking about fun double features I would actually want to see, preferably at a drive-in.

Body: i completely agree with Once and Amadeus. i've seen Once twice now and the second time it struck me how much it was about the music -- it was like a music video, with a simple story that hardly needed dialogue. anyway, my five would include:Woodstock: i know it's an old chestnut but the music and the whole mood of the movie is perfect, especially if you haven't seen it for a while.Standing In The Shadows Of Motown: Great documentary about the Motown session players. if you're like me, you've forgotten how much you liked this music until you hear it again. All That Jazz: Dancing to die for!Almost Famous: The movie is inseparable from the soundtrack and both are pretty great.One-Trick Pony: i think Paul Simon's movie about a band on the road is a "hidden gem" and needs to be made available on DVD now!

Body: Awww. No Empire Records? Just kidding. Your category is so broad! I mean, I could maybe do top 5s in musicals, in performance films, etc. etc. There are whole Spout groups devoted to each of these little subtopics. So, I'll throw out one or two favorites of each, in no specific order:--In music documentaries, my number one favorite is The Beatles Anthology. Yes, it was originally relegated to TV because it's so huge, but it's one of the most comprehensive music documentaries in existence by the greatest rock n roll band ever (and also my favorite). It's very complete and well-filmed. I just bought it, matter of fact, though I had a previous VCR version taped from those TV segments however many years ago.--In musicals, my two hands-down favorites are The Wizard of Oz and Singin' in the Rain. They are widely regarded as the best movie musicals, and while from the classic era, are just fun movies to watch, and they are two of my nerd movies (as in, I can recite them). Yet, I have a whole movie musical collection from old to new, so I could keep going....--In performance films, I like A Hard Day's Night. It's the first best music video, also by the Beatles, and while they are caricatures of themselves, it's really very funny and showcases tunes from one of their better early albums. I also like watching Woodstock, which could fall under either documentaries or performance films. It's a great piece of history to see all those bands gathered together. Woodstock '94 and '99 were good for the music selections/artists themselves, but the concept was dead by that time. I'm betraying my generation by saying it, but the originals are always better than sequels anyhow, and all of that crime and fire and stuff was kind of a bummer, man.--I can't think of any music industry related films right now that strike me as super-awesome. Hm. I'll get back to you on that one.Yet, I love watching musicals and movies about music and movies with music. I'm with you, tmoney. I like watching concept films like Pink Floyd's The Wall (trippy that) or Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains the Same or concert films by my favorite artists (Dave Matthews, U2, and so on). Amadeus is an awesome movie (though Falco's song is not an awesome song). Great topic!

Body: ....but what other great films had a "rawkin" soundtrack to it? Are you kidding? There are MANY... I am a huge fan of movies, as you can tell... but I am ALSO a HUGE fan of Rock & Roll.... Obviously the 'Concert Movies' of the 60's, 70's and 80's had the BEST soundtracks (duh), so you will see some of them on my list... Here is a partial list of some of the best 'Rock & Roll Soundtrack Movies'... Woodstock (1970) - Spout Woodstock: Lost Performances (1990) - Spout The Last Waltz (1978) - Spout The Rolling Stones: Gimme Shelter (1970) - Spout The Concert for Bangladesh (1972) - Spout Help! (1965) - Spout A Hard Day's Night (1964) - Spout Heavy Metal (1981) - Spout American Pop (1981) - Spout The Warriors (1979) - Spout Reservoir Dogs (1992) - Spout Vanishing Point (1971) - Spout ... And there are MANY, MANY more where those came from...
