Ape = no tail
Monkey = tail
Alas, poor Velvet gets no tail, & is thus an ape....

You've started early for New Years, I gather...
Actually 3B Theater does a great job of dissemilating the movie "Head".. I especially like the critic's comments at the bottom...
HEAD is one strange film. The newspaper advertisements for it asked, "What is HEAD?" And the answer is? I’m not sure.
It really isn’t a film -- but a stream of consciousness, or random thoughts patched together. I think it could be best described as channel surfing when there's nothing on. You stick around long enough to see that you don't want to watch it and move on; but here, the Monkees have their fingers on the remote.
HEAD borders dangerously close on being too pretentious for its on good.
Hmmm... too pretentious... no wonder I sort of like this movie....

The Wall- since it was inspired by the best album ever
Jesus Christ Superstar-a classic, got to hand it to the guys!
Quadrophenia-for some reason, I can't think why The Wall was better. Ah well..

1. SPINAL TAP (the best ever)
2. Almost Famous
3. That'll Be The Day
4. Stardust
5. The Wall
6. Help
7. Hard Day's Night
I left out concert movies etc as there's too many and
most are boring.

Wait until 200 Motels it is correctly transferred digitally on DVD!! Zappa shot at the time on High definition Video! IMHO the story(music business &society) is as actual as ever!

Spinal Tap is the rock movie to end all rock movies.
Stop Making Sense is another classic concert movie.
Don't Look Back is one of the few rockumentaries it's possible to take seriously.
I also have a soft spot for Tommy - I saw it at an impressionable age.

Zappa :200 Motels , Neil Young :Rust never sleeps, Spinal tap (The filmed concerts are not really movies!?! )Has anyone seen the Beatles Cameo The Ruttles :all you need is cash? I think some of the Monthy Pythons were involved in it.

What was the name of that film with the fictitious band called 'Strange Fruit' in ? Featured Timothy Spall as a mad drummer.Absolutely hilarious film.I enjoyed that a lot more than Spinal Tap which is overrated IMO.

Was anyone as disappointed by the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus as I was? There were some great moments but it was only an hour long movie, it had "singing" by Yoko Ono, and the Stones performance was atrocious. It is worth it for three parts, Jethro Tull, The Who, And the Dirty Mac before Yoko Ono came on. But I highly reccommend Isle of Whight Festival as an alternative It has its share of bad music (Tiny Tim, Kris Kristofferson, Leonard Cohen) but it has the last performance of Jim Morrison and it has the Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, ELP, The Who, Hendrix,Joan Baez and others
