Rock & Rule - "My Name is Mok" by Lou Reed - Movies That Deserve a Second Look

Movies That Deserve a Second Look... 'That'll Be the Day' (1973) and 'Stardust' (1974) are two mid-'70s films about the early days of rock 'n' roll. Starring David Essex 'Phantom of the Paradise' (1974) A wonderful rock parody directed by Brian De Palma 'Tommy' (1975) 'Tommy' was one of the first movies to tell a story with music and visuals rather than dialogue. The insane filmmaking talents of Ken Russell 'Velvet Goldmine' (1998) Todd Haynes ‘Velvet Goldmine’ is worth a second look because it covers an often-overlooked part of rock history, the glitter scene, and is loosely based on the story of David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust era. (Look for Ewan MacGregor as a character clearly based on Iggy Pop.) "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' (1978) 'Rock & Rule' (1983) 'Fear of a Black Hat' (1993) There have been several films that have tried to recapture ‘This Is Spinal Tap’'s hilarious spirit a satire in 1984, by 1993 rap was begging for a parody like ‘Fear of a Black Hat,’ 'Mayor of the Sunset Strip' (2003) documentary about legendary L.A. DJ Rodney Bingenheimer profiles one of the scene's oddest ducks. At first, he comes off as pathetic, but as the documentary goes on, you grow empathetic and ultimately sympathetic toward him.
