This is a fun, kooky romantic comedy about a group of musicians ready to do anything to make it. We follow the band from conception to one-hit-wonder status right before everything falls apart as the band's core crumbles to ego, greed, and fame.

Another coming-of-age, romantic comedy, taking place during the '80s recession in Dublin, where a young boy finds a safe space in music after moving from a private school to a rough, inner-city school. Nominated for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy at the 2017 Golden Globes, this is definitely one you should watch.

6.Once (2007)

scene from the film where the man is standing alone in a music store

A charming story about Guy (Glen Hansard) and Girl (Markéta Irglová) who stumble upon companionship as they work together through music. This epic and soft romance is told mostly through the songs these two talented people write together. It's a truly magical and musical film to watch.

Down-and-out music producer Dan (Mark Ruffalo) discovers neglected singer-songwriter Greta (Kiera Knightly), and the two blossom a beautiful relationship as they work ingeniously to create Greta's first album.

scene from the film where Alex and Sophie are singing into the same microphone

Once a successful boy band member and ready to make a comeback, Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant) enlists the help of Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore) to write a song suitable enough for pop singer Cora Corman (Haley Bennett).
