In Honor of High Fidelity

In honor of the movie High Fidelity and Top Five Records I am starting a series of blogs on top five lists. The first is top five movies: genre music/musical


5.) Dream Girls: this movie makes the list because while the movie itself isn't the greatest and Beyonce could go eff herself-Jennifer Hudson is a freaking show stealer/stopper. She is honestly amazing as both a vocalist and an actress ad the movie world is lucky to have her in such a blah film.

4.) Hedwig and the Angry Inch: This movie is a cult classic much in the same vein as Rocky Horror Picture Show with more music and less dancing but equally insane plot lines and costumes.

3.) Almost Famous: Hold Me Closer Tiny Dancer need I say more?

2.) High Fidelity: This story does not make number one simply because of the memories it evokes in me. As far as plot and soundtrack are concerned this movie is an A++. My absolute favorite scene is when Rob and love interest Laura are in the rain and she says "Rob have sex with me because I need to feel something different than this."

1.) And of course the list would not be complete without School of Rock. Jack Black equals all time hilarity and small kids in this battle of the bands. I love this movie, think it is amazing and while not beautiful or profound is somewhat touching and inspired that whole spin-off show so I salute it.

of course anything with Dolly Parton, The Beatles, and John Travolta could also make the list but there just wasn't room this time around.
