Idle Cinema
For as long as idols have existed, there have been movies made for them. "Star Vehicles," some might say (though the "star" is certainly up for debate). Goofy, over-the-top, avant garde—whatever the case, it's a peculiar corner of cinema that's rarely discussed or dissected. Though not entirely comprehensive, nonetheless, here is a list of movies with idols and for their fans.
