A movie which is not strictly an EDM movie, but it´s got a fair bit of clubbing stuff in it, and I think is great, is ´24 Hour Party People´ about the Manchester music scene in the 80´s.

24 hour party people is a very good film. Stark raving mad is not...the music is good but the film is average at best.

That's probably why Start Raving Mad went direct to DVD...

And Underworld did the soundtrack for Sunshine.

Oh there's One Perfect Day with Paul Van Dyk ... haven't seen it but the reviews aren't good.

All of you should catch Berlin Calling.

And there's Feiern: Don't forget to go home, a documentary on the Berlin scene.

this^ Manchester 1976: Cambridge educated Tony Wilson, Granada TV presenter, is at a Sex Pistols gig. Totally inspired by this pivotal moment in music history, he and his friends set up a record label, Factory Records, signing first Joy Division (who go on to become New Order) then James and the Happy Mondays, who all become seminal artists of their time. What ensues is a tale of music, sex, drugs, larger-than-life characters, and the birth of one of the most famous dance clubs in the world, The Hacienda - a mecca for clubbers as famous as the likes of Studio 54. Graphically depicting the music and dance heritage of Manchester from the late 70's to the early 90's, this comedy documents the vibrancy that made Mad-chester the place in the world that you would most like to be

also, run lola run.. great movie, really cool soundtrack/score

Re: any good edm movies??

There's a very good documentary I came across a few years back (2002) at the British Film Festival that was thrown here. It's called [b]Good Times[/b] and it features the Good Times sound crew with particular attention being paid to Norman Jay. It's a very good account of his upbringing and his helping shape the Rave movement along with interviews with Jazzie B (who later formed Soul II Soul) and Judge Jules, as well as a host of others. Some absolutely great music scored to footage of his yearly gig at Notting Hill, and a really great record of electronic music history.

I'd also recommend the documentary [b]Hang The DJ[/b] if you can find it - it's a bit dated but it does have a lot of interviews with some of the bigger names of the time it was released (I think it was 2000 or 2001).
