That Thing You Do... The scene when they hear their song on the radio for the first time is classic. |

Forgot to add these 2:
I'm Your Man ... Nice doc about Leonard Cohen w/ many musicians doing their rendition covers of his work, w/ commentaries. Leonard throws in quite a lot of comments regarding himself and his works as well. Love it! I'm Not There ... Way kewl surrealistic take on Bob Dylan's life, w/ many a luminary star taking on the role of Dylan in various parts of his musical journey. One is even his childhood as a lil black boy. Jumps through time, back and forth. Very well done; see it! |

What's Love Got To Do With It (Tina Turner)
and Ray (Charles) Both of them are not exactly the best films you have ever seen, but the performances of both the leading actors in mimicking the artist were outstanding. |

Yes! I really liked seeing a glimpse inside Ray's life. I'd love a good Billie Holiday bio. So interesting to contemplate what the great artists actually endured being black in those miserable to them US years, despite their stardom ...

There is one, i remember seeing it years and years ago, Diana Ross played Billie.. Yeah, saw it too ... it was OK ... love to see a better, deeper rendition ... maybe more a "What all the black greats went through then" kinda thang ... Lightnin' Hopkins was a personal friend of mine. He lived in a ghetto~shantytown, shotgun row house up until his death, abject poverty. SO messed up!!! |

I saw it too long ago to remember how good or bad it was. It was made in 1972, so an update is due.

The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years That was amusing. I'm surprised nobody mentioned this: Sid and Nancy It's probably from 20yrs ago, but I thought it was entertaining and interesting. And I'm not a huge punk fan. |

I like both films. I like Tina's more because I can relate to the things she experienced. |

I CAN'T choose a fav, not even line up my 1 - 10 ... All relative to the day, the mood ...  ... Thankfully, we are SO spoiled for choice ... 
Number ones NEVER work for me ...
