6 Best Band Reunion and Rock Comedy Movies

By Vlad Zakh · June 1, 2026

There’s a particular kind of joy in getting the band back together, and a particular kind of chaos too. School of Rock has a failed rocker faking it as a substitute teacher, A Mighty Wind reunites ageing folk musicians for a tribute concert, and Rock Star sends a tribute-band singer into the real thing. The Wedding Singer, Still Crazy and The Blues Brothers keep the volume up.
