I have a few of those Man-Kazam/Alan Milman records somewhere but I would NEVER part with them, being an integral part of my childhood.

As for Klaus Cornfield -n- Buddy Love?, it wasn't me!

Corny but friendly, like a Flinstones cartoon, what's that movie with Kate Hudson, girlfriend of the 70's band leader STILLWATER?
On tour, and you the lucky one are backstage getting a firsthand glimpse of it all.
You, a young writer who also happens to like music.
Good enough

I've tried to resist this, but there are 2 points I have to share:

1. "Rude Boy" (#12) is not good movie. Having watched it 20-30 times, it is not a good movie.

2. "Dig!" (#30) is very strange and compelling, and this is coming from the perspective of one with no interest (at best) in the parties involved.

One more wrench in the proverbial works: each and every film Cameron Crowe has been involved in has been a love letter to his musical inspirations.

in New York
waiting to see a British film called Privilege
which blew our minds!

Alan already had the soundtrack (he had every record ever recorded)
and had read every review about this film ever reported
but seeing is a different thing than reading
about a much written about thing

and this movie ROCKED!

Seeing it was a Privilege.

If you didn't know the story of the Pistols - you might think it's the stuff of great fiction - it has a real mythic quality to it.

Worst:
Heart of Gold (watch Year of the Horse instead).

If the Hageman nailed it, then This is Spinal Tap is missing for the same reason.

Some on that list are quite boring. Funny how Hard Days Night always appears on these things for historical reasons. Help! is the better film.

Watch the K Foundation Burn a Million Quid is two artists (as in gallery artists, not as in musicians, though they sort of once were) literally standing in front of a fireplace peeling off 20,000 50-pound notes one by one and tossing them in the fire. It takes over an hour. It has less to do with music than the average movie and was supposedly done to stimulate observation followed by discussion (it's worth none). Not sensible on this list.

Watched Rude Boy and somehow made it all the way through. The new DVD comes with a feature that lets you skip the (non) plot and just watch the Clash footie. Interview extras explain why the movie flubbed (ad-lib, on-the-spot plot invention, the band's last minute willingness to perfunctorily participate, addition of unrelated stock footage and extra padding, etc.). The better pick is Westway to the World.
