1960s; young scouser Jude crosses the Atlantic and meets upper class Lucy in this musical tale of two star-crossed lovers set against the raging waters of the volatile 60s counterculture movement; race riots, Vietnam, civil rights, protest, music, drugs, dance, art, hippies and psychedelia. Over 30 Beatles songs are woven into the plot together with visual allusions to their films and, with cameos from Bono and Eddie Izzard, this weird, loud and colourful montage will either have you breaking ou

A big, stylish, booming story about three young girls, a Supremes-like band The Dreamettes, singing their way to superstardom. Undoubtedly a nod to the meteoric rise of the ‘Three Degrees', or could it just be any Motown band?, Dreamgirls is a smooth well performed pseudo biog and Jennifer Hudson is truly hypnotic in her Oscar (best support actress) winning performance.

In Greendale, Neil Young has made what he calls a "musical novel," telling the story of a three generational family, a cop's inadvertent murder and the sociopolitical evolution of a girl named Sun Green. Not a concert film, Young directs actors on locations on his Northern California home turf to create his Greendale, a rural town microcosm of a world in crisis. He shot the film himself on a German Super 8 underwater camera he loves. Then it was blown up to 35mm, giving the film a rough-hewn, al

The Pelvis's third movie, probably his most popular and arguably the best. Banged up for accidentally killing a man, young Elvis whiles away his porridge crooning to his fellow inmates, attracting the attention of a gorgeous young talent scout. Includes "All Shook Up", "I Want to be Free" and "Jailhouse Rock".

Taken from Pete Townsend's rock "opera" of teenage frustration and rebellion set amongst the mods and rockers battling it out on Brighton beach in 1964. Brilliantly recreates the atmosphere of the time and has a great sound track. Speed fighting, speed, casual sex, speed, bike chains and speed.

Jimmy is a man with a mission - to bring soul to Dublin, so he advertises in the local paper and assembles a band, but as they start to earn on-stage success it becomes marred by their personal rivalries. A superb film - witty, well acted and hugely enjoyable even if you don't like sweet soul music.

A saccharined remake of the 1927 Al Jolson original, but with pop replacing jazz, showing the LA music business through decidedly rose-tinted specs. Diamond is the Jewish son who mortifies his father by abandoning the synagogue to become a rock superstar, a feat he accomplishes with quite remarkable ease and speed.

This is it, the movie that kicked it all off, the first commercially released full length (with synchronized dialogue) talkie... although that's not the only reason to watch this musical story of a Jewish man breaking with his traditionalist father in order to pursue a career as a Jazz singer.
'The Jazz Singer' later became a template for other musical biopics and highly influenced the direction talkies would take. One of the most notable features of the film is the unusual use of 'blackface',
