<\/p>\n
The title “A Star is Born” has been used many times over the years: the original\u00a0came out in 1937, then three remakes landed in 1954, 1976, and 2018. Every version follows the fictional tale of an aspiring female musician who is discovered by a guy who eventually succumbs to substance abuse as the starlet’s fame whisks her away. We should now mention:<\/p>\n
Yes, the 2018 version<\/a> is the best! That’s the one we’re talking about.<\/p>\nThe familiar tale plays out better than ever thanks to emotionally gripping performances by Lady Gaga<\/a> and Bradley Cooper<\/a>. If you’re not a fan of bittersweet tales, this may not be for you. But if you enjoy stories with so much relatability, depth, and humanity it hurts, watch this!<\/p>\n[Spoilers] The “guy” dies in every movie. In 1937 and 1954, he drowns himself. In 1976, he drives too recklessly and crashes his car. In 2018…<\/p>\n

We’re not sure if Get On Up started the tradition of beginning a musical biopic with a musician walking toward the stage with people chanting their name, but it certainly killed it! The movie begins and ends with James Brown walking down a hallway to his new performance, and the scenes between are meant to be his memories playing out beforehand.<\/p>\n
It works beautifully.<\/p>\n
Rather than telling events in order, the film explores multiple themes through James Brown’s perception: loving a musician, band relationships (prepare for more of this theme), childhood abuse, race relations, and more.<\/p>\n
Oh, and if you were wondering…\u00a0Chadwick Boseman<\/a> plays James Brown. Yep, Black Panther<\/a>!

We love Queen<\/a>! It will forever be one of our favorite bands, and the movie only fell so low because the article has no order whatsoever.<\/p>\nThe movie focuses on Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen whose visionary songwriting led to such amazing songs as “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which still sounds unlike any other song out there.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Straight Outta Compton is a stunning and powerful biopic that focuses on three artists from South LA – Eazy-E<\/a>, Dr. Dre<\/a>, and Ice Cube<\/a> – as they forge their futures in one of the most dangerous cities in America.<\/p>\nWhen the trio forms the music label N.W.A., their “gangster rap” music sparks controversy on all sides for its use of profanity and violent themes (especially against police officers). Under the pressure, they deal with bad managers, violence, and the loss of friends.<\/p>\n
If nothing else will convince you to watch this movie, see it because it started the legendary string of “Straight Outta…” memes:<\/p>\n

Introducing: the king of rock and roll!<\/p>\n
This movie was released two years after the death of Elvis Presley, and sadly does not cover his death, it ends before. Sad, but not surprising: director John Carpenter intended to highlight a great musician he cared about in order to explore a film genre he hadn’t yet tried.<\/p>\n
Unlike the other movies, this one feels more like a biography and less akin to a story; there’s not much of an arc over the beginning, middle, and end. Still, in spite of that, Elvis’s life through music, enlistment, movies, and more has a lot to offer.<\/p>\n
Amadeus<\/a><\/h3>\n![\"Amadeus\"](\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/th-2_dbt2v2.jpg\")

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (yes, that’s Mozart’s full name) led a far more interesting life than you probably realized! Seriously, we’re talking Van Gogh levels, somewhere between “I can’t believe this guy cut his own ear off on purpose” and “FDR really saw Winston Churchill naked by accident?”<\/p>\n
True story, bro.<\/p>\n
The movie follows Antonio Salieri, a decent composer who desperately prays to God for greatness, believing music to be a love letter to the almighty. Mozart, a depraved musical prodigy, shatters his religious paradigm and sends him on a quest to destroy the composing genius, his friend and greatest enemy, in any way he can.<\/p>\n
If that sounds like an interesting story, that’s because it 100% is.<\/p>\n

If you weren’t aware that the phrase “turn it up to 11” comes from this movie, you need to educate yourself.<\/p>\n
This very, very real documentary biopic (so real) follows the legendary British rock band Spinal Tap on their perilous road to glory. If you like idiot savants, bad hairdos, meddling girlfriends, outrageous outfits, band members disappearing, big bottoms, managers laying down the law, and amps that go up to 11, then have we’ve got a show for you…<\/p>\n
