I’ve read this multiple times, and just came across it again… Jim Morrison’s favorite movie was Anatahan (probably helped that his professor at UCLA directed the film - Joseph von Sternberg).

John Lennon mentions “Citizen Kane” and Fellini in a few interviews.

Roger Waters listed “El Topo” as a movie he loved… He and Nick Mason named “Cool Hand Luke” in this Pink Floyd comic strip.

(If you can only think of old jazz musicians - post them!)… Just as interesting to see the favorites of the non-English speaking stars.

Not exactly an answer to your question, but I heard David Bowie was inspired to write the song “Space Oddity” after getting very high and watching the movie “Space Odyssey”.
