| Actors Portraying Musicians
I would have typed "Playing Musicians" but it just didn't feel right. | | 1 | Sam Riley as Ian Curtis
"Control": A truly captivating performance; the film was loosely based on a book by Ian's baby-mama, and Sam perfects the image of a man overwhelmed by fame and fortune, drowning in deep regret. | | 2 | Michael Pitt as Kurt Cobain
"Last Days": In-tune with himself but not with others, only reclusive around the hammering demands of society, Kurt wasn't as insane as many like to think. | | 3 | Tom Hulce as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
"Amadeus": "Come on now, be honest! Which one of you wouldn't rather listen to his hairdresser than Hercules? Or Horatius, or Orpheus... people so lofty they sound as if they shit marble!" | | 4 | Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison
"The Doors": I'd bet thats what he was really like. | | 5 | John Lee Hooker as Street Slim
"The Blues Brothers": The entire blues mentality is captured in his single three minute scene where bustling, indifferent streets meet their soundtrack. | | 6 | Billy Crudup as Russell Hammond
"Almost Famous": The rockstar on top of the world finds painful yet pure reality in a portrait of his younger self. | | 7 | Adrien Brody as Wladyslaw Szpilman
"The Pianist": A study of a character's musical inspiration rather than the sound itself. | | 8 | Alison Lohman as K'Harma Leeds
"Delirious": Once a homeless girl but now a confused and overpaid pop-star finds love in a poverty-stricken street-smart human who shows her what its like to be that way again. | |

I hate Michael Pitt so I didn't see 2
If they ever make a Rush movie, I nominate a beefed up Tom Hanks for Peart | Electric City
09.15.09 | I really want to see Control | BallsToTheWall

09.15.09 | 3 and 7 are great | scyther
09.15.09 | If he wasn't listed in the credits I would never have guessed that Michael Pitt did Kurt in that movie, I'd see it if I were you. And Control is fantastic, one of the best biographical movies I've ever seen. | killrobotmusic
09.15.09 | Yeah 4 is where it's at. | Tits McGee
09.15.09 | 6 is a great character from probably my favorite movie. Seriously, Crudup did a great job on that | PuddlesPuddles
09.15.09 | Hm. Now I'm intrigued. If I come across it, I'll try not to pass it up
Also, Almost Famous is classic. as is The Doors

09.15.09 | jk that thing was retarded | cirq
09.15.09 | The Pianist is one of my favorite movies | MassiveAttack
09.16.09 | I totally agree with #1, it was the main reason I started listening to Joy Division. They've become one of my favorite bands I haven't stopped listening to Closer in since I got into them last month. | Prophet178
09.16.09 | I haven't seen it, but I heard Cate Blanchett does an excellent portrayal of Bob Dylan in I'm Not There. | robertsona
