Sam Mendes’ American Beauty used rock music as a weapon. The soundtrack is a mix of Thomas Newman’s ambient score and classic rock deep cuts. When Kevin Spacey’s Lester Burnham quits his job and blackmails his boss, he walks out of the office to The Who’s "Baba O’Riley." That moment of synthetic violin and Pete Townshend’s windmill chords is the victory lap of the repressed middle manager.

If Cruel Intentions is the evil twin and American Beauty is the depressed uncle, Detroit Rock City is the wild, broke, beautiful heart of the movement. This forgotten gem, produced by Gene Simmons of KISS, follows four teenagers in 1978 who will do anything to see their idols, KISS, live. Major Rock Movie 1999
