I definitely recommend the film Crossroads - here's a blog post I just put together on the 'Ten Must-See Films for Musicians' might give you a few more ideas!

There's a fantastic moment in the Buddy Holly Story, where we see Buddy in the studio during the recording of 'Raining in My Heart' dashing off the part for the waiting Orch. and two Cherman classical dude are seen poring over it: 'Ist ferry Clefer, he hass ze shtrings playink pizzicato - like ze raindrops on ze vindow!' (something like that anyway)

i loved it, but know going in that it's gonna glorify a person who left a trail of despair, basically because he was so handsome and charismatic

but dang, so handsome and charismatic, and what a trail, and you can view the film as a version of what it might have felt like to fall under that spell

Pretty sure this wasn't me, would like to think it's the real Big Mick.

I have an unfortunate affinity for Let's Get Lost tho Karl is right about it

finally watched Be Here to Love Me, thought it did a really nice job of noting TVZ's particular genius without romanticizing or diminishing the extent and impact of his alcoholism on those who cared about him.

Amos Poe lost control of his documentary Blank Generation about the music scene that spawned artists like Blondie and Talking Heads after a dispute with Ivan Kral, the guitarist who made the movie with him.

That's an article from 2020. Does anyone know whether the streaming versions of Blank Generation are the original version with credit to Poe and Kral, or the more recent Kral estate version with Poe's name deleted and the film ending changed ?
