I'm not sure how it is in your school but I need to take 2 classes of Fine-Arts (Art,Band,Etc) but since I have no talent that counts as "artistic", I talked to the princpal and teacher and they told me I could take two other classes instead.

Anyways, one of the classes they picked out for me is History Of Rock Music. I need to listen to the first rock ablum and write about it. Than other stuff on it but I don't know what the first rock album was so I can't do it ;-;

What is the first rock ablum?


Ok, now the other class... I need to watch 18 films and write about each of them. Since I watched maybe 50 films in my entire life (Seriously, I don't do movies), I figured I would ask my fellow Acmlmers for suggestions.

I need to watch 1 of each of the following genres (Plus 2 more of my choice).

Science Fiction/Speculative
Western
Mystery/Horror
Adventure
Foreign
Classics
Silent Films
Musicals
Documentary
Comedy
Biography
Social Commentary
Historial Commentary
Drama
Animation

I don't want to sit through shit movies so suggest good ones

First Rock Album? That is so god damned hard to define. My personal opinion is any contemporary-blues from the late 40s would classify as proto-rock. Or you could just simply go with Elvis.

The first Rock Album? Blimey....

if it's Rock and Roll, then you could go with Bill Haley and the Comets. Blimey how vague are they... as for my picks....

Science Fiction/Speculative - The Matrix, Brazil or 1984
Western - Unforgiven, Back to the future 3 and Feivel goes west (I HATE Westerns!)
Mystery/Horror - Nightmare on Elm Street 1, Scream
Adventure - Any Indiana Jones Film, The Mummy,,
Foreign - Battle Royale (no contest)
Classics - Psycho, Casablanca
Silent Films - Nosferatu is a good one.
Musicals - Singin in the Rain, Wizard of Oz or Little Shop of Horrors
Documentary - Farenheit 9/11
Comedy - American Pie, The Blues Brothers,
Biography - "What's Love got to do with it", "Quills", (LOL I wonder what your tutor would say if you turned in the latter!)
Social Commentary - Bowling for Columbine, Rollerball (70's edition)
Historial Commentary - The Great Escape, Braveheart (alright, not much commentary there...)
Drama - Fight Club, Seven
Animation - Spirited Away, you KNOW you want to.

I think Elmo's right, it was the Comets. That was what I was taught in lessons.

Some more alternative choices: (I dont watch movies but Im fascinated about knowing about them).


Sci-Fi= Bladerunner, Tron, Labirynth (sp?).
Western= The Shootist
Mystery/Horror= Ginger Snaps, The Birds, Misery (not really a horror, but horrifyingly funny/disturbing)
Adventure= Any of the aforementioned, though the El Mariachi trilogy is good.
Foreign- Where do I begin? City of God, 400 Blows, Amelie, "Spring, Autumn, Summer, Winter... and Spring again", the Oldboy trilogy...
Musicals-= Little Shop of Horrors (I did that at school), Grease, the usual.
Documentry= Beyond the Mat
Classics= The Old Dark House, Casablanca, Vertigo, The Seventh Seal
Comedy= The Pink Panther, Scary Movie 1-3, any number of gross-out movies.
Drama= Donnie Darko, Fargo, Scarface. I dont know if Drama is the best place to put these, but nothing else fits the bill.
Animation= Spirited Away of course, Phantasia.

Im not sure about 'commentries' as such.
