The Runaways (Hollywood, 2010)

Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart star in this mesmerizing rock and roll tale of the 70s all-girl rock band The Runaways. The film follows the band's formation and rise to success, only to end up disbanded due to drugs and conflicting personalities.

Both the female leads turn out terrific performances but the movie is way too short for its own good. Still, it has a lot of memorable moments specially the scene where the band performs live in Japan. See it to get a slice of sweet rock and roll history.
