So what movies do you put on when you can't play the guitar?
I usually reach for either Oliver Stone's Doors movie or, full disclosure, Wayne's World.

What are your go to guitar movies?

I don't have one, but if I did it would probably be This is Spinal Tap, or Earnest Goes to Camp, depending.

I have the Aliens collection on blu-ray.

But there are quite a few others I'd watch as well.

I need to grab Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick again on blu-ray. I think I still got my DVDs somewhere, but that format don't do it for me anymore.

Really, if I can't play guitar, I'd just pop in one of the Borderlands franchise games and play that. Or whatever the latest game I'm playing is. The Borderland games have been the only games I've replayed over and over and over .. so that is why I listed them as a fallback.

Let's see, then if is it light outside ... there is running, bicycling, golf, and general yard work.

TV and movies are really a distant 3rd choice level thing for me.

Edit: I missed the guitar movies part. I don't have any guitar movies I watch. O' Brother Where Art Thou would be the closest.

Good choices guys.
This is Spinal Tap is something I've never really enjoyed as much as I feel I should have. Although I have seen it a good number of times.
Have never seen Joe Dirt, thanks for the suggestion.

it occurs to me that Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown is always great for that Django jazzy fun.

It's not a guitar movie but since it has an amazing soundtrack; Casino.

Scorsese is great at picking music that works in scenes.

Guitar movies - Almost Famous, Alice Cooper Brutally Live, Song Remains the Same and as much as I didn't want to like it I gotta say Montage of Heck was really good and I'll more than likely watch it again.

Montage of Heck is a good one. And OF COURSE The Song Remains The Same is a winner!
Hadn't thought of Almost Famous - a great, fun movie.

La Bamba. Brian Setzer's cameo is awesome.

If I don't want to play a guitar I usually go out somewhere; take some photographs; have a walk.

Amadeus, School of Rock, or David Lee Roth's Video compilation on VHS, which still has not been released on DVD much less Blu-ray. T.T
