The Legend of 1900
A Hard Day's Night
Brassed Off
Mary Poppins
In the Mood for Love
Close encounters of the third kind

I'd say the music in one way or another was an extremely important part of the success of these films too.

Re: Best Music Movies
already picked:
Easy Rider
A Mighty Wind
Yellow Submarine
Hard Day's Night
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
to add:
Quadrophenia
Harold and Maude (by no means a Cat Stevens fan by any stretch of the imagination, however - his music couldn't have been more ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY PERFECT for this one)
Rushmore
The Forbidden Zone
funky, homey (as in home-like, not wiggerly) casio compositions in Napolean Dynamite
Taxi Driver (as fine an epitaph for BH as it could get)
Knife in the Water (breezy, cool bop floating in and out of the score)
Stop Making Sense
This is Spinal Tap
Emmanuelle '74
Beuna Vista Social Club
Jandek on Corwood
The Exorcist (again - no Micheal Oldfield fan, but perfect scoring nonetheless)
Jimmy Hendrix '73 (greatest all-time ever music film. period.)
Theolonius Monk - Straight No Chaser
Bob Roberts (wonderfully misguided "neo-con" folk tuneage) (now that is ONE obscure muscial genre if ever there was one)
Odd Couple (and not just the theme song, either - lots of nifty Niel Hefti-age throughout)
The Producers (simply because of SFH)
The Darjeeling Unlimited (Wes Anderson flicks often have good shit in them)
Festival Express
Can't Stop the Music (flame all you want - that Milkshake number, in particular, KICKS ASS)
The Rutles: All You Need is Cash
Paul McCartney in Red Square
Sweet and Lowdown (sweaty and lowbrow)(not the hugest Djano fan, but still great stuff in this)
Round Midnight
Nashville
Liquid Sky (sue me)
Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage (fucking fantastic, comprehensive docu) (too bad the only thing they gave short shrift to was my sentimental favourite - "Farewell to Kings")
Cook, Thief, Wife and Her Lover (absolutely INSANE Sarah Leonard soprano action)
Let it Be (polite Brit dysfunction and all)
The Last Waltz ("The Night They Drove Ol Dixie Down" is the most incredibly powerful thing in this)
Easy Rider
A Mighty Wind
Yellow Submarine
Hard Day's Night
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Re: Best Music Movies
Forgot a super duper obvious one - Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii.
Despite them being my....oh - 89th favourite band, even non-fans will (SHOULD) be completely blown away by Adrian Maben's majestic camera work, notably the shot that starts at the top of the amphitheatre, and makes the world's slowest, most gradual zoom, until it homes right in on the band, who are situated way down at the bottom, in the middle of the huge space. The zoom finally comes to a stop as Gilmour hits the first verse of "Echoes pt. 1". Fucking amazing.
If any of you have seen this film, I'm sure your cerebral cortex has been permanently etched with the shot of the camera slowly going up behind the amp with the "Pink Floyd: London" white stencilling on the back of it, as we gradually see the band from behind, rocking out their hippy shenanigans. Simply: too cool, basically.

Yes, Floyd's Pompeii performance is one of my favorite concert videos of all time.
