Sad vinyl fetishist query: Scenes in movies featuring/revolving around vinyl records?

The record Jimmy takes off was "Rhythm of The Rain" by the Cascades, which is about as far from "My Generation" as possible.

It was really weird seeing For Your Pleasure prominently placed in Hailee Steinfeld's dead dad's record collection in Bumblebee. (There's a lot of cassette fetishism in the film as well, but that's another thread...)

Ha, yeah, just watched the scene again. Turns out he puts on a 45, and doesn't take an LP out of the Sell Out/A Quick One sleeve (though it's still prominently placed).

It might've been more accurate if he'd put on "Green Onions" (which I think is somewhere else in the film? I haven't seen it in years), but "My Generation" works better for the scene.

Some Fassbinder movies:

1. Hanna Schygulla playing Pearls Before Swine's "Morning Song" on a record player at the start of "Rio das Mortes", the sleeve is on the wall of her bedroom.

2. Various characters playing various Leonard Cohen songs on a jukebox throughout "Warnung vor einer heiligen Nutte".

3. Margit Carstensen listening to Leonard Cohen in "Angst vor der Angst"

4. Macha Meril 'dancing' to Kraftwerk's "Radioactivity" in "Chinese Roulette"

5. (this the weirdest one) Folke Rabe's "Was" in a drunken wedding party scene in "Eight Hours Don't Make a Day" - sadly not actually being played though.

The Wes Anderson movie about the kids who go camping has some record player scenes.

Also U & K from 20th Century Women:

...and of course they cue up the wrong spot on More Songs...

The Black Flag thing reminds me of several from Freaks and Geeks:

--Daniel 'going punk' and listening to "Rise Above" alone in his room.

--Ken questioning his sexuality, and tests himself by buying a Bowie album (Scary Monsters?) and looking intensely at David's photo while he listens.

--Mr. Weir dissing Neil Peart and then introducing Nick to Jazz drumming.

--Lindsay playing "Squeeze Box" for her parents, and their horror when they realize what the song is about.

--Mr. Rosso loaning Lindsay American Beauty, leading to...

--Mr. Weir dissing Neil Peart and then introducing Nick to Jazz drumming.

ha, I was always slightly annoyed that Mr. Weir wasn't into something hipper than Buddy Rich (he didn't have anything with Max Roach on it?), but whaddya gonna do. It's still a great scene.

Good stuff in Last Night In SoHo with main character Eloise's Dansette and suitcase of vintage '60s Brit wax, plus landlady Diana Rigg getting her own collection out later on.

Shame then about all of it going up in flames.

I'm sure it was stunt vinyl

Or perhaps it's all CGI.

It's just in the reality of the film, it's sad to see such a sweet set of LPs bite the dust in such a manner (even though you only actually see a Dusty Springfield and the Dansette burning onscreen).

Dusty would have been 83 today

My local PBS affiliate has started showing Inspector Morse again. The first ep involves the possible murder of a woman who used to work at a audiophile turntable company. Morse naturally owns one of the company's decks, and at one point attends a lecture on HI-FI given by her ex-boss, one of the suspects.

lots of records seen/heard being played in fassbinder's work, but delighted to spot this prominently displayed next to the turntable in the penultimate episode of eight hours don't make a day.

Two bits in Tar: The collection of Mahler vinyl on the floor in the opening montage, and a later scene where Lydia and her assistant Francesca talk about getting Deutsche Grammophon to reconsider not giving her upcoming box set a vinyl release.

this is one of the best thread titles. lol
