What's everyones favourite films with guitars in them? Yes, possible one of the more random questions about films. Guitars don't have to be the main theme. ie. 'Deliverance' with it's dueling banjo's scene.

I'll start

Spinal Tap (goes without saying really)
Crossroads (so bad it circles back around to good again)
Strange Fruit
Walk The Line (A truely amazing film about the man in black)
Once Upon A Time In Mexico & Desperado (Guns & guitars & guitars that are guns...)
The Bill & Ted films
The Waynes World films
Pick Of Destiny

Your turn

not cheesy... just a little 80's
and thinking of it. the songs aren't even that 80's. just powerchord riffs without a break.

watched Luc Besson's "Subway" last night - what a film. Eric Serra giving some great funk bass.

the psycadelic western "Zachariah" is a bit weird, but lots of 70s hard rock bands. love it :)
