Name a few good movies based on music

[Arkitech]

So what are a few good movies that are centered around music or muscians?

I think my top 3 muisc based movies would be

1. The Doors (fantastic movie, Val Kilmer looks like Morrison reincarnated)
2. High Fidelity (I really dig this movie and Jack Black is funny as hell)
3. Almost Famous/Ray (its a tie for the third spot with these 2 movies)

Are there any good movies on the life of Elvis? I'd like to find a good bio movie that chronicles his life as it really happened, not just a glossed over version.
