This Is Spinal Tap
That Thing You Do!
A Mighty Wind (which I have seen shelved in a library under "Drama"* (!))

*When actually, for those not in the know, it's a mockumentary that attempts to do for/to American folk music what This Is Spinal Tap did for/to arena rock/heavy metal.

Oh, if I'd only known
Ah, what your heart cost
Oh, can we call it a loan?
And a debt that I owe
On a bet that I lost -- "Call It a Loan" (Jackson Browne & David Lindley) R.I.P., Mr. Dave, and thanks for all the music.

Except for "Let It Be", I think The Beatles' movies WERE considered "musicals".

Pump up the volume and river's edge. River's Edge turned me on to some really good metal I hadn't heard yet at that time. Also not to forget Over the EDGE. great soundtrack for that
