The Movie: Purple Rain (1984)
What Is It?: All
the egomania, tackiness, misogyny, and idiocy of Albert Magnoli’s movie melts
away every time that Purple Motherfucker (as Miles Davis called him) takes the
stage to sweat along with some great track from the greatest soundtrack ever
made. Whittle away the drama and you’ve got one hell of a sequence of amazing
music videos.
Why Today?: Today
is Purple Day.
