Stray Cat Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Still Crazy has to be one of my favourites and not because Jimmy Nail is in it. More because I like the music in a cheesy rock cliche kind of way.Almost famous is another one. "Do you have anything to say to your fans?" "I'm on drugs" haha classic.As for cameos, I'm sure Noel Gallagher had a cameo as a bus driver in a Johnny Depp film? The name evades me. Anyone?

Diesel Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Jagger Last one before I get back to doing whatever it is I'm supposed to be getting paid for Performance - with Mick Jagger, especially for the "video-within-a-movie" of Jagger singing "Memo from Turner" - it's absolutely YEARS ahead of it's time.The film came out in '70 and you can see it's influence on Tarantino, Guy Ritchie, Paul McGuigan etc.A brilliant gangster flick, directed by Donald Cammell & Nicolas Roeg that has sick violence, kinky sex scenes and weird post-60's imagery - what more do you want?Trivia - The gangster who's pursuing James Fox's character was a real-life London underworld boss.Trivia - Jagger has a sex scene with Anita Pallenberg, who was Keef's burd at the time. Apparently there was some friction (pun intended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DustyDeviada Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Ironically the guitar that Michael J Fox "plays" in Back to the Future (I think it was Rick Derringer who actually played what you hear) was a 1960s model ES-345. Maybe the guitar player from the band had a time machine as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu73 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Slayer did have a song on the soundtrack of a film in the late 80's but i can't remember what film or what song they used!I think it was the 'less than zero' soundtrack they were on - they did iron butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Not heard it, but i'm sure i saw the soundtrack in fopp a while back for about 2. Had aerosmith and danzig on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 It's got to be Little Nicky -The soundtrack is brilliant - Nicky playing air guitar to Running With The Devil at the beginning is ace - "Just jammin'!"The two satanists are the best characters ever! "Kick his ass, Nicky" Ozzy bites the head off of a bat at the end - brilliant.And Harvey Kietel as Satan himself is unbeatable.

flossie suvara Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 200 motels did nothing for me I'm afraid - I just watched it so I could say that I have."Head" - the Monkees film is a much easier to watch - (directed by Jack Nicholson I believe) and also stars Frank Zappa in a cameo (with a talking ox on a string).Bad News and More Bad News by the comic strip are also worth a mention. I'm fairly sure (although I don't have the exact facts at my fingertips, and can't be arsed googling) that "Bad News" came out before Spinal Tap. Eminently quotable and very funny.Not so much a movie as a documentary ("rockumentary") is "The Last Waltz" - film of The Band's final concert, with heaps of special guests (Dylan, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, Ronnie Wood, Neil Young, Muddy Waters, etc) - great film.RegardsFlossie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I forgot about Tom Waits - Rumblefish, Short Cuts, The Outsiders, Dracula, Down By Law and Domino all have good Waits appearances. Joe Strummer was OK in Mystery Train. Anyone else spot time Booth from James' fleeting appearance in Batman Begins. like, blink and you will miss him. I Had to watch the end credits to see if he was mentioned cos I thought I spotted him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goode guitar part in BTTF was played by a well known session muso called Tim May - see http://www.timmayguitar.com/Interviews.htm for more info.

Camie Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Airheads raised a chuckle at the time it was released as well but that was ages and ages ago and might be shite if I watched it these days.'Singles' anyone?Airheads is one of my favourites. "How can you pluralise The Lone Rangers?"Doesn't singles have the Pearl Jam drummer in it or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
