12 awful rock movies you must see

Why sucky music flicks rule

Joe Bosso, Fri 3 Jul 2009, 5:46 pm BST

11. The Bee Gees, Peter Frampton and...George Burns?!

Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978)

Why it blows: How one of the greatest - if not THE greatest - albums of all time wound up as this pointless debacle can hardly be imagined on a human scale. In this movie, Billy Sheers (Peter Frampton, displaying the acting skills of a cigar store Indian) and the Lonely Hearts Club Band (The Bee Gees) are dispatched to spread joy across a war-torn Europe during World War II. And that's just half of it!

Why you must see it: To experience the unique feeling of your eyes popping out of your head. There's characters named Strawberry Fields, Mr Mustard, Mr Kite and of course Lucy and her backing group, The Diamonds. This is one of those 'gadzookies!' flicks where you can't believe you're witnessing something so totally literal and lame-brained. It's like watching an 8th grader interpret his favorite album for a school video project - except, in this case, you know that millions have been spent.
