Yeah, I LOVE Almost Famous!!  A lotta people didn't GET IT....BUT FOR THE ONES WHO DID...it was MOVING.  AND The Committments (yeah, what happened to that dude??  I thought he'd go FAR!) was one OF THE BEST movies EVER....(and that's totally how it is...the glamour of playin' in a band in bars, school dances, etc.  LOL...then all the internal drama...it's a trip!  LOL.  Love both volumes of the Soundtrack...I own both of them.  Some of the others y'all mentioned I had to say "yup...yup..."  I gotta add a few to the list as well...

My all-time very favorite??   I love, LOVE, LOVVVVVVE "AMADEUS". (yeah, better than IMMORTAL BELOVED...but I love that one, too--howevah--I'm a Mozart girl.  heh.)
---"FAME"...(yeah, say whatcha will...what I wouldn't have given to go to THAT HIGH SCHOOL...LOVE "HOT LUNCH JAM" from that soundtrack.)
---"CROSSROADS" (No, not with Britney Spears...Yeah, with Ralph Macchio...it's EXCELLENT...GREAT Soundtrack.)
---"EMPIRE RECORDS" (every time they showed it on TV, we had this HUGE INFLUX of applications..."yeah, you just keep thinkin' it's REALLY LIKE THAT...now, be a dear and run go scrub that toilet, willya?  Welcome to the music business"...heh...AND...a very young, very sexy Anthony LaPaglia, before FRAISER and WITHOUT A TRACE...mmmmhottttmmman.)
---"AMERICAN POP" (Animated/Ralph Backshi)--one of the best movies I'VE EVER SEEN...animated or other.  Great story.
---and, the couple that I really have to mention just due mainly to the fact that I was SO TOTALLY ENAMOURED with both of 'em and the music...
---"ALL THAT JAZZ" (ooohweeeee, somethin' about Roy Scheider in that movie and in JAWS...wtf. LOL...) and, "A CHORUS LINE".  (ONE OF MY FAVORITE MUSICALS....anyone like musicals?) 

EDIT IN:  I forgot...CADILLAC RECORDS.  Did anyone see it?  It was great.
