Movie About Music (NOT a Musical)

"Do you know what that sound is, Highness? Those are the shrieking eels!"
-The Princess Bride (1987)


Carol's pick: That Thing You Do! (1996) - Tons of toe-tappin' fun. Written and directed by my favorite, Tom Hanks.

  1. It's a candidate for "Guilty Pleasure," as well, but Empire Records is my pick in this category.

  2. August Rush, Amadeus, and Empire Records

  3. I would add A Hard Day's Night and the beautiful and sweet Once, a surprise Oscar winner (Best Song).

  5. The Red Violin (1998) = a dramatic fiction that spans three centuries and five countries as it tells the story of a violin and its many owners
    Almost Famous (2000) Frances McDormand is always great, but Kate Hudson's performance makes all of her work since feel trite and stupid in comparison. I loved her as Penny Lane.
    The Blues Brothers (1980) - one of my family's favorite funny movies

  6. In order to not violate my no-repeat rule, I'm going to say Blues Brothers 2000.
