I am leaving this pretty vague.

could be hollywood movies about fictional or real musicians.

or concert films

or documentaries on bands

what are the best movies about bands and music?

    Almost Famous.

    the Tiny Dancer bus part might be my favorite movie scene of all time

    That scene is so beautiful..especially with Kate Hudson singing one of the greatest songs to ever be put on a record.

    The fact that Once has only been mentioned just the one time is absolutely criminal, and you lot should all hang your heads in shame.

    And yes, the 'Untitled' director's cut version is far superior to the theatrical release. So too the director's commentary version of Spinal Tap.
