There are so many:

_Bird_---the entire soundtrack. It's the story of Charlie Parker--directed by Clint Eastwood.

__Round Midnight__---the entire soundtrack. Stars a wonderful Dexter Gordon as an alcoholic expatriot jazz sax player in Paris. Based on the life of Bud Powell.

_Crossroads__ especially the scene where Robert Johnson is recording in a hotel room for John Hammond and Columbia---the mike cord running under a door into the next room---just the way legend says it happened.

_To Have and Have Not_---the scenes with Hoagy Carmichael.

Some of _The Benny Goodman Story__. The scenes with Gene Krupa and Lionel Hampton & Teddy Wilson and other REAL musicians were great. Steve Allan din't quite make it as Benny however. Too bad 'cause I do like Steve Allen.

A film that did it wrong was __Leadbelly__---should've used Michael Cooney to play 12-string instead of the lame musician they chose. Also, _Bound For Glory__ (Woody Guthrie's "story"---had terrible music.

Sure would like to find that Young Indiana Jones episode on a video. Those generally were truly well done.
