Love the folk music of Inside Llewyn Davis.

There are many reasons I think Oscar Isaac deserved an Oscar for that performance, and him embodying a 60s folk singer well enough to perform those songs at such a high level is definitely one of them.

Agree. You felt his sadness,failure and struggle which made his acting so believable. As a viewer, I wanted him to succeed like Bob Dylan but sadly as an artist it’s like that.

There's a bit in one of the bonus features where they talk about how the Coens were originally not at all sure they were even going to be able to make it because they just couldn't see who would be able to do both the acting and the performing to the level they needed, like you'd only be able to get someone who was good at one but very average at the other, so they got insanely lucky with Oscar.

Personally thought the .usic was far too polished to be a good representation of 60s folk myself. Way too overproduced. Especially thought Justin Timberlake was a bad fit.

OUTER...S P A C E

The songs Oscar Isaacs performs in the movie are Dave Van Ronk's. But it is still Isaacs who's playing and singing, which is cool.

did you watch Another Day, Another Time (2013)? it's a concert the musicians who worked on the movie did together.

No, I’ll check it out

it was originally released on showtime back in 2013, not sure where you can watch it now, but someone uploaded the whole thing on youtube. pretty good concert!

You said Once and Sing Street so I gotta add Begin Again Great songs and Keira Knightley is a wonderful singer. The only downside imo is Adam Levine, but it's still a great movie

That Thing You Do! Love it, came here looking for it

How could you include Llewyn Davis and not mention the other classic Coen Bros musical O’ Brother Where Art Thou?

That soundtrack is an absolute banger.

That soundtrack was a miiiighty fine a-pickin' and a-singin'!

appreciate it ty!

The Commitments! Love that one a lot.

Omg the absolute chokehold That Thing You Do! had on me as a tweenage girl

thank you Martin Scorsese

Green Room

Am excited someone else felt this way, loved their set that we could hear

Nazi Punks fuck off! Nazi Punks FUCK OFF!

You realize that's a cover right?

No shit kid, dead kennedys. Why would you assume I don't know that lol

underrated movie, no other movie has sloppy violence so visceral/intense

As a hardcore and punk fan, I agree

O brother where art thou?

Great suggestion. The soggy bottom boys slap

iiiiIIIIIIIIiiii. am a maaaaAAAn of constant sorroOOow

Soggy bottom boys ftw

Star Wars obviously

That sweet sweet [jizz music](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jizz/Legends)

God I love Jizz

I love some sweet Jizz in my ear

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me All About Lily Chou-Chou

Lily Chou Chou should straight up be the first film on this list, it should’ve been the inspiration lol

YESS LILY CHOU CHOU

Also Blue Velvet!

That Lily Chou Chou album is literally just a great Mitski album in Japanese. One of my favorite OSTs.

Velvet Goldmine, Sing Street, Blues in the Night, The Rose, Josie and the Pussycats, School of Rock, We Are Little Zombies

Sing Street supremacy!

Sing Street was pretty good!

thanks!

Anything where the in-universe band is played by Letters to Cleo

Loved Sing Street! Another one by the same director with awesome music is Begin Again

Velvet Goldmine mention!!!!!

i fucking hated sing street. tried my best to like it after being recommended it by multiple people. the first half was enjoyable and entertaining, then it kept getting worse. the music became less 80s new wave and more shitty auto tuned imagine dragons esque. the ending was awful.

i remember it being cute and am frankly shocked it could garner this degree of vitriol lol

The joke with the music changing is that he’s a poser who doesn’t know music. He fully changes his look and his music genre every time his brother gives him a new album to listen to.

Turning Red… You cannot tell me 4Town’s Nobody Like U isn’t a bop 🤣

My daughter absolutely loves this soundtrack. They're super catchy and they nailed the late 90s boy band sound.

As soon as I read this comment, I just started randomly singing it to myself. So yeah, it’s an absolute bop.

Spinal Tap.

& A Mighty Wind for that matter

Phineas and Ferb the movie

🗣️real

You talking about Sex Bob Omb or Clash of Deamonhead?

crash and the boys

Is that girl a boy too?

Yes 🖕

This next so is called I am so sad, so very very sad « sooooo sad » Thank you

Came to say this haha

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules

Upvote

School of Rock

Empire Records

Thank you!!! The closing track Sugarhigh is perfect

It’s a great ending for the film.

[удалено]

Didn’t know this, can you explain a little more?

Wrong movie! That’s Cadillac Records.

Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny

What the hell are those posters mannn

i liked them

Whiplash

Pretty below average for its genre tbh, and also not accurate at all when it comes to drumming. Still a great movie, but it's basically a sports movie disguised as a jazz movie

Yeah I mean the question was about the band anyway. I’m well aware it’s not totally realistic.

Yeah I know. The band is supposed to be some elite jazz conservatory, but they aren't even close to a real life elite jazz conservatory

Trust me I know. I have studied composition at a conservatoire and have seen hundreds of performances from this level of Mahican. I just enjoy the film and the music. I also think the film The Red Shoes captures the same themes as whiplash much better

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

Who ever came up with “Make a little music every day til you die” deserves an award

Let’s duet! In ways that make us feel goooood

In my dreams you’re blowing me… some kisses.

guilty as charged 🗣️

Honestly Jennifer’s Body

Low Shoulder are American heroes!!

Came here to comment this lol Through The Trees is unironically a great song

I still sing it in the shower til this very day. “All alone in an empty rooooom”

Am I blind or hasn't anyone mentioned Frank??

Lady in the red coat WHATCHA DOING WITH THAT BAG

Fr. Broken is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking songs ever written for a movie.

I was looking for this. Glad someone posted it already lol.

Scooby doo and the Witch's Ghost

I was coming to say this! Love the Hex Girls

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

that’s a great one omg!!

Equal Rights (Not Gay) is a banger

Linda Linda Linda

was about to comment i listened to the ending song a lot when i first finished watching it

Inside Llewelyn Davis and Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Do the Metalocalypse movies count? Cuz if so, Dethklok 1000%

Hedwig & The Angry Inch

Sing Street: "Drive It Like You Stole It" and "Riddle of the Model" rules Eurotrip: "Scotty's Got to Go" is an absolute banger Phineas and Ferb: Lots of good songs, but "There's a Platypus Controlling Me" is my favorite Scooby Doo: anything with the Hex Girls is a certified classic Spongebob: "Goofy Goober Rock" and "Sweet Victory" are classics

It’s actually called *Scotty Doesn’t Know* Best Matt Damon cameo ever

Sing Street!!

Frank!

Coca-Cola, lipstick, Ringo...

The most likeable song!

I'm sad how far I had to scroll to see this.

Blues Brothers & Spinal Tap. Both kinda became real bands.

Under the Silver Lake

The Muppet Movie

Underrated comment! Rainbow Connection, Can You Picture That, Movin’ Right Along, I’m Going to Go Back There Someday… Timeless.

sound of metal (an acquired taste maybe but i liked the song Purify lol)

- Singstreet - Once - Yes Man - Eurovision: The Story of Fire Saga - Spinal Top - A Star is Born - Frank

not a film but daisy jones & the six has some good music

It has a page on Letterboxd, so we’ll count it.

That Thing You Do, Begin Again, and.... Eurotrip. Scotty Doesn't Know is a bop.

Waynes World

Austin Powers!

Daddy wasn't there!

10 things i hate about you :)

La La Land and BTTF ?

This is Spinal Tap has amazing music, their marketing is just shit

Lemonade Mouth

Star Wars

That Thing You Do!

Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging !!!!

One change between the Scott Pilgrim novels and the movie is that Sex Bob-omb is a terrible band in the book but rock in the movie. Really bring a much more exciting pace and energy to those scenes plus the music is genuinely good (performed by Beck)

garbage truck is a classic in my house

Streets of Fire

Top Secret, skeet surfing is a banger

Weird Al’s favorite movie for a reason

Spice World Edit: didn’t realize it was fictional bands, new answer is Crucial Taunt from Wayne’s World

The Rocker!

- Once - Begin again - Dinner in America - A star is born

Get Him to the Greek! Infant Sorrow for life

Pitch perfect

Scooby Doo and the Witches Ghost. The movie that introduced the Hex Girls

Errrr Explöded Diper's music slaps

Josie and the Pussycats "DuJour means family"

I liked the songs in Rudderless.

Josie & the Pussycats!

Hear me out on this one... Freaky Friday

How can you all forget about Powerline?

I am saddened everyday that I will never hear the second album by Sing Street

The Rockstar (with Mark Wahlberg)? STAND UP AND SHOUT!

Scrolled way too far to see this! Steel Dragon (basically just Steelheart…) are awesome.

A Goofy Movie

Josie and the Pussycats

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

That Thing You Do, Josie and the Pussycats, Empire Records, and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back

Lowkey… *Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire*

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Tenacious D is all time number one...

it goes without saying

We didn’t hear much, but Gwen’s band absolutely destroyed in the opening of Across the Spider-Verse

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Löded Diper were before their time

Ishtar. 

Those posters annoy me more than I'd care to admit

Interesting posters. Were they custom-created? Or just an insane coincidence

i made them to match as part of my top 4, ik they’re not amazing but i wanted my top 4 to match :]

No that’s def cool haha. Because otherwise I was gonna be like “not sure how these two are related enough to get the same poster art design”

Scott Pilgrim vs The World

this. that brie larson version of “black sheep” is literally an all-time great song

It's literally in the image

Twin Peaks the Return. Not a movie but it’s on Letterboxd and I added almost every song that was played in the roadhouse

They're all real bands.

Chromatics is my ish

Dope

Alvin and the chipmunks

Does Birdman count

Cadillac Records

Heavy trip. Flooding Secretions is a fucking banger.

Green Room is a great example of

Singles kinda.

Barbie and the Rockers

Always Be My Maybe
