Big movie recommendation for music lovers. John Carney's music making "trilogy" (in theme, though the movies are otherwise unrelated):

Once is a low-budget masterpiece about an Irish busker who meets a Czech girl who becomes his collaborator and muse as they try to work out their complicated lives through music. Begin Again is set in New York, and features Mark Ruffalo as a down on his luck record producer who is inspired by young singer/songwriter Keira Knightley (yes, she really can sing). Sing Street is a period piece set in the 1980s and tells the story of a group of High School kids in Dublin forming a band to escape their dreary lives and, of course, impress a girl.
All three really show the process of writing and arranging songs in a way that really provides insight into the craft, as well as showing how life experiences and emotions impact the process. Plus, the music in all three films is outstanding.
Check them out!
