The success of  Straight Outta Compton , which was No. 1 at the box office for the third straight week, has reminded Hollywood that people are suckers for movies about the music they love. And while there is no shortage of biopics about individual singers – Ray Charles  in  Ray ,  Johnny Cash in  Walk the Line ,  Tina Turner  in What's Love Got to Do With It , Loretta Lynn  in  Coal Miner's Daughter ,  Ritchie Valens  in  La Bamba , just to name a few – there's a surprising dearth of movies that tell the real life stories of bands.
