24 Hour Party People (2002)
Some great music and some decent comedy, but it doesn’t quite have the roadie charm of Almost Famous.

Starman (1984)
Bridges is pretty good, although his dialogue does not really represent what a super-advanced alien might say. Music and effects are a bit dated, but I remember them being quite effective back in the day.
