My personal fav would be a little 1986 picture called "Crossroads" (starring Ralph Macchio and bluesman Joe Seneca with absolutely great Delta Blues guitar music dubbed by Ry Cooder.
Clip from "Crossroads" of Robert Johnson
Second would be the 1969 classic "Easy Rider" that featured Levon Helm and The Band doing "The Weight" along with a bunch of others songs and other artists.

Crossroads is mine too! Great movie!! Steve Vai was also featured in that one as "the Devil". I have it on VHS, but need to get the DVD.

It of course featured Dick Dale and the Deltones, with Stevie Ray Vaughan making an appearance on pipeline.
Definitely not acoustic, but I likes it !

Permalink Reply by Jud Hair on April 26, 2012 at 10:10am Good choice ... features Glen Hansard and the song is called ..."Falling Slowly"
Great little story. Have to admit that I had a real hard time with understanding the dialog with the thick Irish brogue.
