Corey Levitan's "10 Best Rock Movies Ever Made"

by Corey Levitan, Pop Music Critic, www.dailybreeze.com

On those rare occasions when a movie gets rock utterly right: the exhilaration, the communion, the attitude; there is cause for celebration.

The American Film Institute’s fourth annual Festival of Music Documentaries kicked off this week. While I agree with most of AFI’s choices: "Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense," "Pass the Mic!," "Don’t Need You," "Madonna: Truth or Dare" "Punk: Attitude," "Malfunkshun"; I’d like to suggest a few for your own rock film festival.

I’ve widened the parameters to include not only documentaries but any movie celebrating rock music.
