A 1985 documentary chronicling Katrina and the Waves' "Walking on Sunshine" success

It's time to feel good!  Shot during the Waves' 1985 summer tour, here's a behind-the-scenes look at the English rock band during the summer of their greatest fame that lacks VH1-style freneticism or "polish" (read: ridiculous editing) and feels all the richer and more "real" for it.  Granted, it was just made to sell the (included) music videos, but it's still an enjoyable trip.  It also features "Walking on Sunshine" being played a few times, but don't worry, they've got other songs too.

Watch This Thing - The trailer for the 1985 German New Wave musical DER FORMEL EINS FILM, featuring Falco, Meat Loaf and Pia Zadora

If you ever dreamt of a film that features Falco, Meat Loaf, Die Toten Hosen, Katrina and the Waves, Limahl and Pia Zadora (!)... well, there may be something wrong with you, but at least this should help. DER FORMEL EINS FILM (THE FORMULA ONE MOVIE) is a German film based on a music-based TV series of the similar name, and it brings together all of your New Wave favorites... and also Meat Loaf and Pia Zadora. The latter performs "Little Bit of Heaven" from VOYAGE OF THE ROCK ALIENS. Check out the trailer and be puzzled as to why the English-dubbed version hasn't made its way to DVD yet.
