Check out the flick Three Kings.

It's a good film, and in parts there's this really cool jazz soloing as the soundtrack.

Definately, that was a good movie. I liked the soundtrack too.

Is three kings the movie with George Clooney in it?

Well, one of these days I'm going to track down The Gene Krupa Story, but I'm not aware of that many drum-specific movies. However, here are some of my favorite music-related movies, which often include some great drumming:

The Last Waltz (Levon Helm)
A Great Day In Harlem
'Round Midnight (Billy Higgins, Tony Williams, and vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson)
Bring On The Night (Omar Hakim)
Kodo - Heartbeat Drummers of Japan

I know I'm forgetting one or two at least.

EDIT: I should add "Blazing Saddles" - in part because of the scene where Bart (Cleavon Little) rides through the desert, and all of a sudden, there's the Count Basie band playing "April In Paris."

And yes, Spinal Tap rules - Tony Hendra is my hero. I also like Christopher Guest's movie about folk music, "A Mighty Wind" - no drumming to speak of, but some of the songs and vocal arrangements are actually really good.

a great movie that buddy riched played on is west side story. Its not in the movie but I guess in the orginal there is a drum solo and it is amazing.

How about "The Committments"? My favorite dialogue:
Jimmy: "Who are your influences?"
Billy: "Animal from the Muppets!"
Always cracks me up...

[skinslapper]

Yeah, that's one of my fav. flicks.

Jimmy: Have ya been practicin every day like I told ya.
Billy: Yeah, well, me da's never home n' me brother's are all younger than me.
Jimmy: So?
Billy: So there's noone in house to tell me to shut the f%#k up.

I thought Drumline was a little fake. I mean it sounded cool and all but come on, thats nothing like real life. A better movie would be following Jaska Raatikainen around everyday...yeah that'd do it.

It aint a drum movie but The Commitments was kinda funny
