+2
Whiplash - I still need to watch this, but I'm very excited by it.
Shine - Brilliant (IMHO)
Love and Mercy - Surprisingly pulled into this one as it provided an insider look into the studio process, as well as the obsessive nature of some artists and the torment that that ...sensitivity (for lack of a better word?) ...can create.
The Wrecking Crew - Documentary of the studio musicians during the '60s.
August Rush - Borderline contrived for me due to plot points, but still very enjoyable and beautiful where it needs to be.
Sing Street - Great fun watching the story of this Irish kid start a band to impress a girl during the 80's pop music scene. I mean, anyone who has ever picked up a guitar due to a childhood crush should immediately fall in love with this as it will take you back to exactly that exciting awkwardness. Honestly, this should probably be higher on my list, but I'm typing as they come to mind, so...
Begin Again - Nothing terribly great, but it was a sweet movie, nonetheless.
The Crossroads - Totally inspired me to play guitar. I nearly wore my VHS tape out hitting play, pause, and rewind over and over trying to see Ralph Macchio's fingering in the final duel scene.
*edit*
Sweet and Lowdown - another wonderful film.
