 Airheads is freakin' hilarious. High Fidelity is pretty good too.

Perhaps it doesn't really qualify, but I've just thoroughly enjoyed "The Banger Sisters." (I wish! ) Goldie Hawn and "the twins" were especially impressive....
Given its "groupie" theme, I couldn't help thinking of our own 3F as I watched.
What did you think of it, Faytie? Others?
PS: I too love Spinal Tap, Tommy, Stop Making Sense, Almost Famous, School of Rock, and Grosse Point Blanc. Have to try Airheads!

Reed was correct, and speaking like a character in a 19th Century novel.
Back then, "pray" = please tell me, or I wonder, I beg to know, etc.
"Que" is Spanish for "what," and indicated that I did not understand your post about the chimpanzee's "head and shoulders." (I still don't.)
Monkeys and apes are all primates, but the former are distinguished from the latter by virtue of their having tails. That's all -- Reed took it in the spirit it was intended: some good-natured, nit-picking pedantry.
BTW, I am one man -- I am not "you Canadians" or "you canucks."

Peter...if that is your real name...we are not in the 19th century...we are in the 21st. In the USA pray means prayer....not the way Reed wrote it out.
I knew that Que meant what and that is why I had wondered why you said it when your native language (being a canuck and all) was french or english.
The monkey picture only showed it's head and shoulders. How would you know if it had a tail or not?

Because the "monkey" you refer to is clearly a chimpanzee, and chimps don't have tails, chump.
Geez, what a cranky yankee! 
BTW: "It's" means "it is."

I recognized your sister, the cuter, less hairy one.
Not quite as good at treeclimbing, but looked much better in a dress.
Can you tell a charging lion from a tiger with just a head shot?
You only get one....
HA!

FAVOURITE ROCK MOVIE?
GEE I DONT KNOW, ROCK HUDSON MADE SO MANY..
HOW ABOUT ALL THOSE ONES WITH DORIS DAY SUCH AS "PILLOW TALK"(THOSE KISSING SCENES MUST HAVE BEEN HARD FOR HIM )
"GIMME SHELTER" FOR ME ...ALSO "HEAD", "ZACHERIAH"..THERSE A LITTLE KNOWN MOVIE CALLED "THE PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE" WHICH ISNT BAD, ALSO NOT SO MUCH A ROCK MOVIE BUT YOU COULD INCLUDE IT IS "QUADREPHENIA"
DAVID ESSEX MADE TWO VERY GOOD MOVIES ABOUT THE RISE AND FALL OF A ROCK STAR "THAT'LL BE THE DAY" AND ITS SEQUAL "STARDUST".

That's a nice film, with some really atmospheric (if slightly faked) footage of "Stillwater" 
My top 6:
1. Spinal Tap
2. Woodstock
3. Head
4. Live at Pompeii (don't tell me it's not a movie, coz I don't care!)
5. Jesus Christ Superstar
6. Pressure Points - Camel (again, I don't care if it's not a "movie" - it's a brilliant video concept, plus it's an hour of Camel on the screen - what more could you ask for?)
7. A Hard Day's Night
8. The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle
9. The Wall (too long, otherwise it'd be higher)
10. Bad News on Tour (not a real movie, yadda, yadda...)
