Few filmmakers merge music and film as well as Allison Anders and Kurt Voss. While other filmmakers have dabbled with the occasional rockumentary here or there, Allison and Kurt have made a careers out of it with films like Grace of My Heart and Down and Out with the Dolls. They make films about musicians, starring musicians and scored by musicians. Together and separately they have worked with everyone from Burt Bacharach and Sonic Youth to Lemmy Kilmister and Ice-T. They just can't help it. Film and music are simply essential parts of their souls.
Which is why (when they're not busy making films) they're busy watching them. Here are two "Top-5 Movies That Rock" lists created by Allison and Kurt exclusively for This Cinematic Life!
Allison Anders
- A Hard Day's Night
- The T.A.M.I. Show
- Two-Lane Blacktop
- Loving You
- Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains
Kurt Voss

- Dig!
- Metallica: Some Kind of Monster

- Lord Don't Slow Me Down
