The Movies That Made Me... ROCK & POP in the Movies
The Movies That Made Me: Season 2: Episode 8: Rock & Pop
Frank Sinatra and Harry Belafonte, Doris Day and Dorothy Dandridge were all music stars who became movie stars.
Singer Al Jolson even made the first talkie but it was Elvis Presley who broke the mould, then shaped a new one.

Luke Sorba wrote and directed his first movie on Super 8 when he was 18 years old. ”The Mirror Within” won in the Novice Category at Streatham and Norwood Amateur Film Club’s Annual Awards. He only made one more (apart from some YouTube sketches) but he has since watched 6000 movies made by other people and owns 1600 on DVD. He spent more teenage hours at the National Film Theatre and the Electric Cinema than anywhere else, and is currently on first name terms with staff at Peckhamplex.
Over two hundred books on cinema fill his shelves and he has a complete collection of Monthly Film Bulletin magazines (incorporated in Sight and Sound since 1990) going back to 1964. As an actor and writer, as well as a teacher of story telling Luke brings professional experience to his observations but it his status as a super-fan that sets him apart.
He is rare among enthusiasts in that there is no period nor genre nor country whose movies he is not curious about. From Intolerance to Inception, The St Valentine’s Day Massacre to The Belles of St Trinian’s, Do the Right Thing to Dr Dolittle, Zombieland to Nomadland, Superfly to Superman, Tod Browning to Todd Haynes, Federico Fellini to The Fast and Furious, Monika Treut to Monica Bellucci, there is a place for everyone in The Movies That Made Me.
