I was listening to some Cat Stevens music today, thinking about "Harold and Maude" and how Cat Stevens provided all the music in the film.

There was "Magnolia" - with Aimee Mann music.

And "The Graduate" with Simon and Garfunkle.

Are there any others?

Movies starring musicians (Elvis movies, Beatles movies) don't count.
Nor do concert movies.
Movies that are essentially about some musician(s) or piece of music (like "The Wall") don't count either.

Here's some Cat Stevens music from "Harold and Maude" for you to enjoy while you think:

I thought of one, but I'm not sure it qualifies.

Mark Knopfler wrote or arranged all the music in Local Hero, but he didn't perform all of it.

I'm not sure this would qualify either because it's about a musician pulling a band together but I LOVED the movie Once and equally loved the soundtrack. It's not about the actual band though... Here's one...

I don't know if they count either because I haven't seen any of them!

I hardly ever get to see movies but now I know some that I'm going to check out.

Thank you, all, for your contributions.

Vangelis wrote and recorded the soundtrack for Chariots of Fire using a synthesizer.

Henry Mancini did a number of them, and so did the one that was in Good Bad and Ugly.
