Finally got around to watching "Purple Rain" and it reminded me of a toned down "The Room" in the sense that it was the product of an amateur film maker's self indulgent fantasy: awkward nudity and sex scenes, rampant abuse of women (a woman gets thrown into a dumpster for annoying Morris Day), Prince casually wearing leather pants and blouses in daytime, most of the lead roles were performed by musicians and/or Prince's friends.



The big difference is that it has one of the best movie soundtracks of all time (a number of songs are performed in their entirety). I love the album, but was pleasantly surprised by how well all the songs meshed into the movie. Would recommend.
