I'd say that's actually a decent list. Imagine- Something halfway aware from Rolling Stone!

I'm very happy that they recognized the little-seen Velvet Goldmine as an important rock 'n roll movie, certainly one with an intricate understanding of the music and cultural moment(s) it digs into. It's certainly not the stupid nostalgia-murder-mystery Miramax so mistakenly marketed it as (I blame its box-office failure directly on Harvey Weinstein. I know some things. Let's just say that Haynes was not allowed to make the advertising decisions, and there's a reason why Far from Heaven was not a Miramax release... and the reason was certainly not that Weinstein didn't desperately want it.)

I'm surprised The Doors didn't make that list.

Yeah... Oliver Stone gets a lot of shit for some reason.  I don't see why.

Side note: I've probably watched "The Doors" over 20 times.

"Desperately Seeking Susan" should not be on that list.

If only because it really doesn't have anything to do with music...

It's not only that, but like godardian said, it's not a "rock and roll" movie.

Holy shit, I own the first 5 on dvd...plus number 9 and 10 as well. Good list. Haven't seen DSS and even though I own 9, I don't really think it's very good...at all...it's actually pretty bad - but this is a good list.
