This i's a more popular thread, then Elton John, even though he doesn't like David Bowie, he is the original Queen to save the Clinton's, & he really is a homosexual???? unlike Bowie who isn't? he wins!! big time!! H. Clinton loves gay men who can support her in the big race!! & by the way we'll make it legal for gay men to have sex in public.

The problem with Gimme Shelter is that it is too sad of a movie. Everything goes wrong. No happy ending.
The problem with The Last Waltz is that there are a lot of so-so performances. There is one enormous exception -- the transcendent singing and playing of Muddy Waters -- maybe his finest moment anywhere.
Performance is great, if only for "Memo from Turner," the greatest non-Stones "Stones song."
As far as Woodstock goes, there are too many hippies. But the two greatest moments are when the watermelon is thrown on stage at the end of Alvin Lee's blistering performance, and of course, the looks of non-comprehension the zonked out audience gives the proto-disco / proto-punk Sha Na Na as they do "At The Hop."

You know, that's the first time I've ever seen anyone argue that Sha Na Na was AHEAD of their time. Fascinating.

I hope the greatest rock movie of all time is "Shine A Light." For now, I'm with the Gimme Shelter bandwagon. I saw that movie 30 times on the big screen. What an impact. Jagger at his best, Keith being Keef! Just a powerful movie.

I agree with many of the already posted, just want to add:
A Mexican Movie "¿Cómo vez?" about urban rock, margination and the local rock scene.
Also "The Doors" is a great movie, well documented by insiders and well done. I love the way the handle the making, the life and the decadence of one of the best rock bands ever.
Let me tell ya... for kids the best one is "School of Rock", probably for us could be a dumb story but for the kids is great, after that movie they love Rock and want to rock immediately. Too bad there ain't no mention to the Stones, but they are in the blacboard

A little web searching indicates that I may not be the only person to make the connection between Sha Na Na and punk rock based on the Woodstock performance. "At The Hop" is really performed fast; take a closer look at it the next time you see the movie.

I mean really guys, you've said a lot of great rock movies, but if you've ever been a insane rolling stone fan from the 60's (and still is) it's not going be Woodstock, or a lot of other movies, we're influenced by The Stones, not by the Grateful dead, which is the opposite to The Stones, they said the Stones were on a star trip before the free festival, Jerry wouldn't perform because of this, so for all you Grateful Dead fans, he was the one who backed out! some hippie love that is!! fuck the Grateful Dead, & long Live The Rolling Stones!

Fuck The Dead?, you are wrong. They created some of the most beautiful music the world has ever known.

Most of "The Last Waltz" I don't like much.
Most of the performances kinda suck, except Van Morrison obviously (can't believe he nearly didn't go on because of stage fright- no pun intended).
No they bloody don't. The Band are superb throughout and there are loads of fantastic guest performances. Notably Van Morrison, Dylan, Muddy Waters, Dr John, Neil Young and that rip-roaring cover of 'Mystery Train' by Paul Butterfield.
The performance of 'Caravan' may very well be Van Morrison's greatest moment.

No, I can already see what you're saying on a number of levels: proto-70s-Oldies Revival thrown in a well - the rumblings of Happy Days and American Graffiti and all that. I was not casting your claims in doubt - I had just never thought about them before, because no matter how kind of manic and fuck-you-hippy that performance may be, their records and 70s presence SUUUUUUUUUUCKs and is ANTI-punk.

The Last Waltz Caravan is good but I wouldn't go that far. For just one instance, have you heard that unbelievable Just Like a Woman from Pacific High, '71? Woah!
There is a bit of self-congratulatory and overly self-important weirdness about the Last Waltz that has grown to bug me, particularly in Robbie Robertson's behavior on and off stage. But any movie that can even make me like a Clapton performance has something going for it.

Anybody ever see 'Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains'?
Starred a very young Diane Lane as the main Stain, and included Steve Jones, Paul Cook, Paul Simonon, Ray Winstone (The Professionals), Fee Waybill and Vince Welnick (The Metal Corpses).
A cult classic looong overdue for DVD release.

see, now if you are gonna go with rock star cameos roles, i can throw out a few...
richard hell in smithereens
tom waits in down by law (or any of the jim jarmusch films, but down by law is my favorite)
joe strummer in mystery train
and while i am on the subject (of jim jarmusch films), year of the horse was pretty good.
and just for sh*ts and giggles, i have to say that neil young's soundtrack for dead man is slammin'
nasty - i still am gonna seek it out. i am really curious about rust never sleeps, too.
edit to add: i also have high hopes for the future is unwritten.

Jim Jarmusch! I saw Stranger Than Paradise in the 8th Street Playhouse in 1984 and fell in love with this guy's style. Everything from Permanent Vacation, Down By Law, and Mystery Train to Night On Earth, Year Of The Horse, and Dead Man...great performances and cameos by musicians like Tom Waits, John Lurie, Screaming Jay Hawkins, Richard Edson, Iggy Pop, Rufus Thomas, Joe Strummer, Gibby Haynes, Neil Young, RZA, etc. I love this guy.
