I'm not a big fan on musicals I must say with only a few exceptions. On the other hand musicals which are not mostly music conversation I like.
This is a list without any specific order of favourite music films and musicals with limited music conversation.
Rock of ages
A recent film, one that mostly rockers would enjoy and older generations as it is based on the 80's Rock scene. Full of old and much loved songs like Pour some sugar on me and Paradise city, it takes you back to an era bringing back memories but also gives an idea to the younger generation what the scene was like back in the 80's. Many of my friends have admitted not wanting to see it as they are not keen on seeing Tom Cruise as a Rock star but I must say he is convincing in his role and this film will not only make you feel nostalgic but will also make you laugh.
Rock star
Not a very recent film but for me a must see especially for rock
and roll fans, a story about a young singer which is discovered and
given a chance to be the front man of his all time favourite bands
only to discover that things are not as they look from the outside.
This film is a perfect example of how rock band members in the 80's
became rock stars in the 80's and all that excess that followed fame
being extreme and living an extravagant life. I have heard that the film is actually based on a famous metal band of the 80's which still exists.
Almost famous
This film is again said to be based on existing figures in the rock scene.
The film is based back in the 70's showing again the music scene of the
time, it has very nice music on the background with led zepelin songs
amongst others. The film shows a young man still at school who is given
the opportunity to follow a rock group on tour and write an article
for Rolling Stones magazine. Through the journey somewhere between
the groupies, the bands fights and the drugs the young man tries to get
his work done experiencing what it is like to be on the road with band.
Burlesque
A different film than the above which might be argued that it is
more feminine, since it shows burlesque dancers giving a show,
showing the fabulous costumes so yes maybe a little more of
feminine but definitely interesting and even though its a little long
you do not realise how fast time goes as it draws you in.
It will definitely cheer you up! Definitely suitable for those who are into
burlesque and pin up style clothes!
Grease
I find it hard to believe that there are people who haven't seen
this film at least once. I consider this to be a classic musical, funny film
with a soundtrack that has become so popular. Even though it was an 1978
production it is a film that teenagers would enjoy watching!
The phantom of the opera
Even though I'm not a big fan of musicals which are full of musical
conversation,this I must say is my one exception. The soundtrack,
the effects and the story make this a classic for me. I became so
much in love with this film I went to see it in the theatre in London.
A must see! I think you don't need to be a theatre or music fan to
enjoy this.
