    Apart from those mentioned, I love:

    Velvet Goldmine
    Labrynth (Ok, so it's not about music per se, but it has David Bowie singing on it)
    Legend of 1900 (the character is really musical) - and I love that movie

    The pianist... Les Coristes... La vie en rose...
    y la banda de Guille... cuando toca?

    I know, right? For those who've never seen it, it's basically about the importance of music in the schools, and how one man could have such a huge impact on his students. Great story! :)

    Singles - does that count?

    Once - from last year

    Oh My God!! Once! YES. What an incredible movie.

    My current fave is "Be Here to Love Me: A Film About Townes Van Zandt."
    So good.

    Has anyone seen 'Control'? That movie about Ian Curtis of Joy Division? I have it in my Netflix queue and I really hope it is worth it.
