Watched Whiplash last night after seeing an interview and your reference. Enjoyed might not be the word I'd use, though I was very compelled. Does make one think. Art comes from pain. How to create great art/artists?
The Primer director, Shane Carruth, released a new film last year - Upstream Color. Exceptionally strange, beautiful film. One of my favorites for sure.
I'm going to answer about band movies, here are my favorites: The Commitments, Josie and the Pussycats, Begin Again.
The Commitments for the scene where the venue tries to screw them on pay. Josie had me at "Take the Chevy to the levy." Begin Again for that second pass through the song. All three are great throughout, but I love those particular scenes.
