I'm going to watch Walk The Line again shortly. Do you have any similar recommendations of films I should pick up? Preferably not ones that'll make me want to slit my wrists (have they made a Cobain one yet??).
Thanks :)

Control
Laugh a minute!
Ach.
I really wasn't impressed with that film. Laffs or not, it was very overrated.
I
Liked it :(
I don't know about feel good
but 24 hour party people is a must see and is pretty damn funny. And I thimk there was a Cobain one but it was shit? Could be mistaken, seem to remember Jennifer Aniston or some cunt being in it. (Not the one with Mark Walberg obv, even though she was in that one as well)
...
school of rock
empire records
wayne's world 2
i'd hardly call walk the line feel good? is it? i can't remember the ending (LOL!!)
he dies.
not in the film
i know
i was trying to be funny. and failed.
Please don't confuse
"feel good" with "shit".
Thanks hun :)
you seem to have confused shit
with excellent.
^this
:D
dude: interesting fact
WW2 actually isnt that good. 1 still rules, but 2 is flaccid liek whoah
dude
both WW1 and WW2 are the dogs bollocks, the bees knees, the cats nats, the badgers nadgers.
i say we join together
and beat alcock and mirri to death with their own shoes.
I'm shoe-less right now
alternatives pls.
a sphincter says what?
*guffaw*
nah seriously
i thought that. then i rewatched 1. still fucking solid gold.
then i watched 2. it has loads of good bits, but SO many of the jokes just fall on their ass. it makes me do a cringe
yeah 1 is better
but i went for 2 becuase it's more music related.
Isn't all of Wayne's World
just one big cringe?
exsqueeze me?
baking powder?
if you were an ice cream flavour you'd be pralines and shit.
harry (is it ok if i call you that?)
I may be a little drunk, but right now i want to marry you.
i disagree
the first one is better, yes, but the sequel still makes me laugh lots.
Seriously, I think World War 2 was better.
high fidelity?
dig!
some kind of monster
.
GHOST WORLD!
wat
I do love this film but it's not really music related is it?
it has an amazing soundtrack
and is about a girl falling in love with a man who is obsessed with the blues and coming to understand herself through listening to music?
fair enough
Almost Famous?
I dunno. I've never seen it.
I love that film.
it's wanky shit
its good
pretty shite
school of rock is on film 4 now
it really is one of the best films in history
I watched
Umbrellas of Cherbourg recently, 60's film with Catherine Deneuve where every word is sung. Quite delightful, even if you hate musicals (which I do).
Almost Famous is about a million times better
than School of rock.
Almost Famous is my favourite film.
It has been since I saw it in the cinema when it came out and I suspect it will remain so for a very long time. It's the definition of feel good. The Tiny Dancer bit makes me cry every time I see it.
I didn't really know who Mark Kozelek
was the first time I saw it, so it was really strange watching it again to see the guy from the Red House Painters. He should stick to the day job, though.
Even though it's a bit formulaic, not groundbreaking in any way and a bit saccharine, I still think it's great. Particularly the mother/son relationship aspect.
I'm Not There
Brilliant film, but, only if you're an obsessive Dylan fan so you can understand the references.
Aww.
I love Walk The Line so much. I shed a little tear.
the coal miner's daughter
tis a great biopic starring sissy spacek as loretta lynn and tommy lee jones as her husband/manager.
