In my mind it's "Gimme Shelter" when I was 16, I wanted to look like & act like Keith, he was so cool, I saw that movie about 50 times, I've got it on DVD & I still watch it some times, & it brings back memories about my youth, what a fantastic movie! it's the best rock 'N' Roll movie of all time to me.

Classic Waits: The Fisher King (the "disabled veteran"):
Disabled Veteran: Didja hear that Jimmy Nickles got picked up yesterday?
Jack Lucas: Oh, yeah?
Disabled Veteran: Yeah. He got caught pissin' on a bookstore. Man is a *pig*. No excuse for that.
[lady drops coins in his cup]
Disabled Veteran: Thank you, baby. It's social anarchy when people start pissing on bookstores.
[man throws coins on the ground near his feet, which Disabled Veteran cannot reach]
Jack Lucas: Asshole. He didn't even look at you.
Disabled Veteran: He's payin' so he don't have to look. See... guy goes to work every day, eight hours a day, seven days a week. Gets his nuts so tight in a vice that he starts questioning the very fabric of his existence. Then one day, 'bout quitting time, Boss calls him into the office and says, "Hey Bob, whyncha come on in here and kiss my ass for me, will you?" Well, he says, "Hell with it. I don't care what happens, I just want to see the expression on his face as I jab this pair of scissors into his arm."
[sighs]
Disabled Veteran: Then he thinks of me. He says, "Waitaminit. I got both my arms, I got both my legs. At least I ain't begging for a living. Sure enough, Bob's gonna put those scissors down and pucker right up. See, I'm what you call kind of a "moral traffic light", really. I'm like sayin', "Red! Go no further! Boooo-ee boooo-ee boooo-ee...”
Some cameos (uncredited roles):
Alice Cooper - Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (plays Freddy's dad)
Mick Jagger - The Rutles
Bob Dylan - Catchfire (clip dubbed in italian)
And, credited as themselves:
Lou Reed - Faraway So Close!
Nick Cave - Wings Of Desire
"I played with The Ween!" - It's Pat (which automatically makes the film a classic, of course. Above Citizen Kane.)

I haven't seen Kids Are Alright in YEARS, but as I recall I would rather watch that movie than listen to most any WHO album. I too hate me some Tommy, but I seem to have a blind spot when it comes to Ken Russell. A number of folks have told me I need to check Amazing Journey. Maybe I'll go rent that today.
I cannot freaking WAIT to see the Future Is Unwritten, but I don't think that the modern post-Behind-the-Music docuform can equal the monstrous power of a Don't Look Back or a Gimme Shelter.
That said, this movie is totally GREAT:
But this movie is better, satiring the form before it was even really created:
in smithereens
