Thanks for giving me a few more movies to add to my list, Jon. I did see "Bob Roberts" on video back in '93, but I don't remember any of it. Reading about its origins here does make me wish "SNL" still aired short films made by people who aren't already in the cast. For example, two years before Ben Stiller joined the show (for about five minutes), he wrote and directed "The Hustler of Money" (I thought it was called "The Color of Bowling" until I saw it again recently):

I've never been a fan of real musicals, probably because I did community theatre as a child and couldn't understand why everyone was taking it so seriously, but I love fake musicals. One of the best is "Oh! Streetcar," from an episode of "The Simpsons" that aired a month after "Bob Roberts" came out.

Miramax just got to the more successful Enchanted April, so there's hope for Hear My Song.

Not that it wouldn't be nice to have Tall Guy or Bob Roberts soundtracks, but I can't hear the songs without thinking of the visuals. They're co-dependent.

The Colbert/Goldblum bit is inspired. The Fly, at least, got a soundtrack.
