Greatest Rock Movies - Your Call

Tom Artrocker wants to know what your favourite Rock Movies are...

Artrockers,
Yesterday I got into conversation with Artrocker Design head-honcho Rich Lucas about Rock and Roll Movies. As well being the man with the pineal eye and a world expert On The Jesus And Mary Chain (check out the latest Artrocker with JAMC on the cover if you don't believe me) Rich's degree dissertation was about Rock and Roll Movies (the man has more strings to his bow than...a guy with a lot of string) so, seeing as our Xmas bumper issue (out Dec 3) will feature the subject it would seem rude, not to say neglectful, to not refer to him on the subject. It didn't take long for us to disagree. You see, Rich says That'll Be The Day is cool and Stardust is to be avoided - and I feel exactly the opposite. For me That'll Be The Day encapsulates all I hate about the 50s, a repressive society desperately in need of the 60s. Whereas Stardust is all woozy with new freedoms, a reflection of the rejection of 50s small 'c' conservatism, with all its negative consequences.
What do you think? TWBTD or Stardust? And what do you consider the greatest rock movies ever made? Let's get a list together, we all love a list.
Please send your contributions on the back of a plain white e-mail to: tom[at]artrockermagazine[dot]com

And if you haven't already copped a copy of the latest Artrocker with the aforementioned JAMC feature...Well, you know, do.
