I think "music movies" are some of the most enjoyable kind. I quite enjoy the films about the life and process of making music; "Almost Famous" is a hoot. "High Fidelity" while a love story of sorts, is about people whose lives are immersed in music. There's one called "Georgia" with Mare Winningham and Jennifer Jason Leigh (?) that's pretty good, and one with Brigette Fonda I didn't mind about Nashville and songwriting and such, but I can't remember the title, sorry. But for me the best are the rock docs; Woodstock, some of Neil Young's stuff. I wish I could get my hands on "The Last Waltz"; haven't seen it yet , but looking forward to it.

Accuracy? You get what you get from the thing. Hell, let's face it; when you're on stage, aren't you kind of creating an illusion anyway? It's a given that any film about music will contain some crap; even the documentaries. But the deeper you get into music, somehow the more fun it is to watch films about it, because you're more capable of seeing the crap and separating it from the real. I think that's why films like Spinal Tap are so bloody hilarious. I wish chris Guest would do a folk version! SB
