I found this one looking for The Connection:
And this one is very heavy. Dig what Jackie has to say connecting the JFK assassination to the decline of culture:

This movie is from 1950 and features Kirk Douglas, Doris Day and Lauren Bacall. Since I'm an old movie buff I really love this film, but as a jazz cat I also find it very interesting. It has the old mentor that while a pro, can't make much money, the young upstart that care more about soloing and his sound than doing what the band leader wants, and of course a love triangle (but sine Bacall plays a lesbian there is added interest there!). There is also the upstart doing all to get his sound but getting really depressed when, due to booze and Bacall leaving him loses his sound. It is ALL about the sound (which I'm sure most of us can related to).
There is some really nice music in this film and even Day gets to show a jazzy side. Check it out and don't just reject it because it is in black and white.

Yes, these are the good movies. I can add Jazz on a Summer's Day, A Great Day in Harlem and Bird to the list. Sometimes I watch them. They really differ from the modern films. Though I've recently found The Green Book on streaming sites and I really liked it. Did you watch it? What are your thoughts?

1940s MTV
Busby Berkeley the real star here, but it also has the Sing Sing Sing clip that you see all the time, and an amazing Let That Be a Lesson to You.

It would have to be Bird, which did a true documentary of the music. The only movie I’ve seen more often on dvd is Round Midnight with the great Dexter Gordon. Chan’s song was a standout tune conducted by Herbie Hancock at the end of the movie.
