There doesn't seem to be much in the way of cinematic guitaring. I know of two films:
1. Sweet & Lowdown - from 1999 by Woody Allen. Sean Penn played a 1930s fictional jazz musician who claimed to be the world's second greatest guitarist (the first being the nonfictional Django Reinhardt). I thought this was an excellent movie and I highly recommend it.
2. Air Guitar Nation - a recent (2006?) documentary about the U.S. Air Guitar Championship which I had no idea existed. I haven't seen it, but I've heard positive things. Has anyone seen this and is able to provide more info?
There's also a TV comedy series, Flight of the Conchords, about a New Zealand folk music duo. Their main instruments are acoustic guitars, occasional electric, and an appearance by a "1983 Casio DG-20 electric guitar set to electric mandolin". I watched the first season (2007) on DVD and thought it was hilarious.
Can anyone add to the list?
