La Vie En Rose is excellent.

 

If you liked Spinal Tap, try Fear Of A Black Hat, it's the rap version of tap and equally as funny.

The Band " The Last Waltz" directed by Martin Scorsese is classic. Featuring Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Joni Michell, Van Morrison & many more.

Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus (2003) documentary film with Jim White.

For those interested in the American south music fringe and its fascinating interaction with the often sureal religious culture...down yonder. Some excellent music, intimate shots and interviews of various characters in drinking and rambling mode and a peek into the often dafter areas of the deep south.

Music:
Jim White, Johnny Dowd, The Handsome Family, David Eugene Edwards of 16 Horsepower, Rev. Gary Howlington, The Singing Hall Sisters, David Johansen, Melissa Swingle and Lee Sexton.

and the author Harry Crews.

Often funny, often strange and often very poignant...Very highly recommended.

Jason.
