Every time I run across this movie on the tv I have to stop and watch it, no matter where I come in......love that movie, great vintage gear (except for Guy's later cymbals :p) Gotta love how he "upgraded" from Slingerland era Leedys to Ludwigs......and don't get me started on the Blue Spot scene or the "I am spartacus with Del Paxton" scene.....

Anyone else do the same? The Band

Todd Trent, who is now with Taye Drums designed all of the Ludwig kits for that movie. When his music store closed, he was selling memorabilia from that movie. I think drummerfish on here may have some too.

I love that movie so much! I am the same way if it comes on tv I have to finish it even if I didn't start it!

Honestly! I know its just a movie and not even a true story but it chokes me up when they hear their song on the radio for the first time!

I am also a big Fountains of Wayne fan. The 2 main song writers in that band wrote quite a few of "The Wonders" songs for the movie.

Did you know Tom Hanks also wrote a good number of the standard sounding songs in the movie?
