Guest JMT Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 "pete tong" would be my favorite to date. "party monster" is good but i think its a little less edm-oriented than the rest.im gonna come out and admit i didnt despise "groove" like some people do. yes you have to buy into a lot of cheese at times but it entertained me and i liked a lot of the music in it when i saw first saw it. btw.. i think the movie you are talking about is "Party Girl" with Parker Posie. i have never seen it.

Guest Cosmigonon Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 I've only seen Go, party monster and tong. The best one is Tong, Party monster is more about a time period, and go only has edm as a background to the sotry, but they're all good.

Guest JMT Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 its kind of comparing a comedy to a drama, but i liked party monster better than human traffic. maybe it has to do with the brit sense of humor...however, Tong was the most entertaining flick in this bunch.

Guest michael^heaven Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 So what does everyone think? I know the ones below include edm or are just about it. Any others worth catching?---Hands down, the absolute best EDM movie ever>>>24 Hour Party PeopleSYNOPSIS:---Prolific director Michael Winterbottom is unafraid of mythologising a slice of recent musical/cultural history in this comedy drama, which tells the story of the rise and fall of Manchester's Factory Records and the world-famous Hacienda nightclub. Using TV presenter and Factory impresario Tony Wilson to tell the tale — often directly to camera — is the movie's masterstroke. Wilson, played with relish by Steve Coogan, is in real life a self-publicist of gigantic proportions, so when he compares shambolic Happy Mondays singer Shaun Ryder (an uncanny impersonation by Danny Cunningham) to WB Yeats, you take it with a pinch of salt but buy into it anyway. Unlikely to make sense to anyone who didn't experience the music and mania of the “Madchester†years — and yet bound to enrage those who were there with its flippant abuse of documentary truth — this is an infectious, well-cast blend of evocative energy, fine vintage music and irreverent humour. ---This is a fantastic film which takes you through the beginning of punk as it leads into the new wave era which then takes you onto the glorious days of the acid house scene in Manchester. I highly recommend this film as it's probably the best documentation of the history of electronic music to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_Man Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 So what does everyone think? I know the ones below include edm or are just about it. Any others worth catching?---Hands down, the absolute best EDM movie ever>>>24 Hour Party PeopleSaw it and enjoyed it. I laughed my ass off at several parts. I should have included it in the list since edm is a part of the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest web_norah Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 "Maestro" the film about Paradise Garage came out on DVD yesterday, check it out, it is an excellent house music flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest web_norah Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 some background on this Maestro film:Maestro, the documentary about the New York dance-music underground circa '70s and '80s. It's out Tuesday on DVD with a companion CD of era-specific music.The documentary has never-before-released footage of The Loft and Paradise Garage -- exclusive, underground venues that inspired modern house music culture. And it features interviews with some of the groundbreaking DJs of the time, including Frankie Knuckles and Francois K. It's a must have for serious house heads.The film's producer, writer and director, Josell Ramos, told me the underground dance scene of the time was a direct reaction to the bling-crazed, coke-fueled disco era of Studio 54. Patrons of The Loft and Garage, while part of an quasi-exclusive group, were gays, minorities and working class people. It's an important point for those who think the descendent cultures of today, such as super-club trance and big-room prog, are about designer fashion, fast cars and VIP rooms. "You gotta remember that the underground of this dance culture started as antiestablishment," Ramos says.yes, Human Traffic and all those films you mention are great fun, and touch some of the fun and crazy things that we love about electronic music....but this documentary is definitely a must-see.

Guest The_Man Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 I'll be sure to give Maestro a whirl.Recently saw Stark Raving Mad. Music (done by the Bedrock boys) was very good but some scenes were really lacking any substance. Seann William Scott does an ok job carrying the film. Having Dave Foley and Lou Diamond Phillips in the film was interesting as well but the other characters are a bunch of wankers. Rated it higher than Groove but not by a lot.

Guest web_norah Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 there was that LA DJ Film which was also similar to that Stark Mad Raving flick, and frankly, it was a nice attempt but nowhere near as good as other films like Human Traffic or 24 Hr People. Maestro is a documentary based on the beginnings of house music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The_Man Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 Checked out Maestro and it was an intersting look at the past. Even in the 70's, people were looking for an alternative sound and place to go on the weekends. The were captivated by the lighting, were intrigued by a club's sound system and were devoted to their favorite clubs and dj's. Goes to show some things will never change.
