Top Ten Movies About Music -- from the UK's Independent. Now that is a tough one to narrow down...I have to agree with Gothamist that "Almost Famous" belongs on the list, and maybe "School of Rock" (much as I love it, it's really a movie about Jack Black, and he could instead be teaching the kids about juggling or making sushi or pretty much anything). I'd put "The Commitments," "Little Voice," and "O Brother Where Art Thou?" in a second tier, and in a separate "documentary" category go "Standing in the Shadows of Motown," "Amandla," and "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart." The big question: what about the 80's mis-casting classic, "Light of Day," starring Michael J. Fox and Joan Jett as siblings in a hard luck, hard rockin' bar band? Hmmmm...
