Check out Rodrigo D No Futuro, which is free to watch on youtube - it's about this kid growing up in Medelin (Colombia) in the 80's, trying to start a punk band. There's a bunch of members from old Colombian bands like Parabellum in there. Really cool and interesting movie.

Great flick, my personal favorite in the Heavy Metal Horror genre, although Rock N Roll Nitemare and Black Roses come close. The best part is the drunk reaction my friends and I had on the first viewing when Eddie rips down his posters.

Judas Priest - NO!
Anthrax - OK!
Motley Crue - YES!
Raven - NOOOOOO!!!

It was a pretty long clip if memory serves me right.
it was tormentor, and i'm pretty sure it was the whole song. also, that movie is terrible and awesome.

Yeah! I love that movie. It's funny as hell. It's the best kind of bad movie: Bad enough to be really funny, but not bad enough that it's painful to watch.

Don't forget the Bill and Ted movies. I liked them much more than Wayne's World.

is this the scene where the alien is in the record store and smashes shit up? great movie!

"return of the living dead 2" has a largely metal soundtrack, and is largely bad

"river's edge" has most of the movie consisting of keanu reeves and crispin glover driving around listening to metal blade-era slayer and hallows eve

Anyone here seen El día de la bestia?

IMDB wrote:A basque priest finds by means of a cabalistic study of the bible that the anti-christ is going to be born on Christmas day in Madrid. Helped by a heavy-metal fan and by the showman of a TV esoteric program, he will try to invoke the devil to find out the place of birth and kill the baby.

Is there a prominent metal presence in this movie? Is it any good? Any comments appreciated.

Rodrigo D : No Futuro is very interesting btw. I'm really into the whole band cameo thing, so films like this one and Verlierer are on the top of my to-see list. Both also seem to be great films regardless of all metal connotations.

If anyone here likes Icelandic bizarro-metal legends HAM, they should check out Icelandic cult comedy Sódóma Reykjavík, which apparently is called Remote Control in English. Some of the band members play prominent roles in the film, and in one scene they can be seen playing their signature song "Partý Bær" (it's actually not the real band, some members were supposedly deemed too ugly for the silver screen so it's 50/50 between band members and actors).
This film is great and has legendary status here in Iceland as well as a huge cult following. The humour could be really lost on foreigners though, it's really local and so dialogue based that a lot of it is probably lost in translation. It would be really interesting to hear a foreign perspective, so if anyone has seen it please share your thoughts.
