The Blues Brothers (1980 - can you believe it's 30 years old this year?) - one of the all-time best music movies, and it introduced lots of kids to James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, John Lee ****, and Ray Charles.

The Commitments (early 90s) - Down-and-out Irish teenagers form a 60s soul band. I thought Andrew Strong, who played the lead singer, was going to become a major star after this one. Oops.

Dazed and Confused (1993) - Not really a music movie as such, but it shows how important music was to those kids, to the point where they painted Kiss makeup on a Bicentennial statue. Look for Ben Affleck as one of the bullies and Matthew McConaughey as a guy in his 20s who hangs around trying to pick up high school girls.
