Well, after digging up the High Fidelity clip in my last post, I felt obligated to start this week off right; with another High Fidelity clip. This one being the infamous Monday Morning mix tape scene.

"C'mon, don't you want to hear what's next?"

I couldn't help but fill with glee when Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova won the Song Oscar for "Falling Slowly" Sunday night from their movie "Once." If you don't know the past few years of Hansard's life, it's truly wound together as a fairy tale, culminating at the Oscars. He was originally only supposed to write the music for the movie, but when the lead role dropped out, the director pushed Hansard in as leading man since he wrote the music. He was weary at first about it since he had no training in acting, but next thing you know, he's dating costar Irglova, and the low-budget Once slowly takes off, from being received well at Sundance, to winning an Oscar for best original song. Go Hansard! He was no doubt, the happiest man alive on Sunday when he hoisted that golden man in the air.

This week's Top 5 are our favorite music-centered films here at Scene & Heard HQ.

5. SLC Punk
I read somewhere that this movie is what would happen if you crossed "Sid & Nancy" with a John Hughes flick. Couldn't say it any better myself.

4. Spinal Tap
The mother mock-rock-doc of em' all. It's one of those rare movies that turns it up to 11 just because it's higher than 10, if you know what I mean. And you can't talk about music movies and somehow ignore this comedic hair metal extravaganza.

3. I'm Not There
They keep saying it's a Bob Dylan biopic, but that's not exactly true. Quite the contrary, it's about the songs that have come out of the Dylan, not the Dylan that's come out of the songs. And thus, it's one of the most colorful and unique movies ever put to tape, with 6 different people all putting their own spin on Bobby and even more songwriters putting their spin on his music. It's like the Fight Club of music films.

2. High Fidelity
John Cusack owns a record shop, tries to figure out his long and troubled romantic life through Top Five lists and records (and with some help from The Boss too) while waxing intellect with his zaney music-dork employees.

1. Almost Famous
The one, the only. This fictional re-creation of Cameron Crowe's young life is colored with the life any young writer can only dream of. If you don't 'get' why people love music, this movie will change that. If you are looking for a reason to start a band, this movie will give you many. But even more so, in a movie full of rockstars it makes the vastly uncool look like the coolest people of all.
