I'm still a bit fuzzy about your line of demarcation so I'll leave out a couple I may have included otherwise.

Hard Day's Night
Absolute Beginners
Rock and Roll High School
This Is Spinal Tap
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Hairspray


Jailhouse Rock wasn't bad though I'm not an Elvis fan.

If you're thinking of this one from 84, man what a great flick. Hadn't thought of that one in a long time. The ending sure was a shocker.

Whats not love about this one

Stephen Rea, Bill Nighy, Timothy Spall, and Jimmy Nail play aging 70s rockers attempting to make a come back. With Billy Connolly as their roadie…


And it meets the laws that all British Movies must among other things have Timothy Spall in it…

Performance. That movie oozes rock n roll style. Plus, it's influenced so many bands (especially British ones, Primal Scream, Suede, Happy Mondays, etc.) and…ummm…Courtney Love.

Also, it may contain the first music video. It's absolutely brilliant. Maybe my favorite film ever.

The majority of mine are on your nine list. Since the above is eligible (as is Almost Famous), then High Fidelity, Empire Records and an HM to Pump Up The Volume should also be considered! :D

the winner, hands down…game over!

The Beatles movies were complete and utter shyte, right in line with Elvis and Cliff Richards movies…. Seriously.

Velvet Goldmine and Still Crazy are good ones.

Heavy Metal Parking Lot is by far the best rock movie ever.

EVER!

I was actually entertained by that Rockstar movie with Marky Mark and Jennifer Anniston.
