Trainspotting and La La Land were among my favorite movies when I was growing up. It sucks that I still haven't seen The Graduate, being a huge Simon&Garfunkel fan.
Also, you mentioned Hairspray (2007). While I haven't watched the original Hairspray, John Waters who directed it also made Crybaby, a musical with Johnny Depp which I think is awesome.
When it comes to music being a very important part of film, one particular example comes to my mind, it's an old movie by Francis Ford Coppola called Rumble Fish. I think it has one of the greatest soundtracks ever. It was made by Stewart Copeland, the guy from The Police. I recommend this movie to everyone, so I'm gonna also recommend it to you, given the topic of your post.
Thank you, you're a good writer. You have listed here so many movies I still haven't seen, and even though I'm no longer that eager to watch anything new, this picture with Christian Bale might have just given me a reason.
P.S. Just googled it. Ewan McGregor is also in this. Definitely gonna watch it.
Basil- thank you so much for this comment!!! I will move crybaby and rumble fish to the top of my list, I’ve been wanting to see both for a while :) And yes, you must watch Velvet Goldmine. It’s really a great movie and the costumes and general vibe is out there and so unique. I love to hear that reading this post has inspired you to watch a movie, that’s the best thing ever.
