The Commitments, That Thing You Do!, Sing Street, and Almost Famous if we are keeping it an even narrower topic of non-Biopics or no real bands/musicians. Which excludes the likes of A Hard Day's...

Wait, is that correct? Is your twenty-first pick supposed to be 2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984)? So the person who put Kubrick's 2001 over the top as THE best movie 'round these here parts is...
