Over the last few years I've become a big Talking Heads fan, so I plan on seeing it eventually. Your review echoes the many other positive reviews I've read.

I feel the same way about <em>The Last Waltz</em>. It sounds like you've given this flick a try more than once, which is more than I can say for the Scorsese movie. I'll look for another film with music you might enjoy ... Moviezzz: Whoa. I feel the same way about The Last Waltz.

At all. I like the Talking Heads, but the film just bores me. I have seen video bootlegs of concerts that people shot with hidden video cameras that are more exciting visually. And musically, I can't say I became a bigger fan of the band after seeing it. That said, everyone else calls this the greatest concert film of all time. I guess it is a matter of taste.
