If You Loved Cadillac Records, Watch These Blues-Filled Movies Next

Alright, so the other day I was trying to find some movies similar to “Cadillac Records.” I really dig that movie – the music, the story, the whole vibe. So, I figured, there’s gotta be more like it out there, right?

My Search Begins

First, I fired up my trusty old computer. I usually just use my phone for stuff, but for this, I wanted the big screen. I opened up my browser, and because it is a habit, I directly typed what I wanted to know.

I started typing in “movies like Cadillac Records,” and it gave me a bunch of suggestions. Gotta love that auto-complete thing, saves me some typing!

Digging Through the Results

I scrolled through a bunch of websites. Some were those generic “best of” lists, which can be hit or miss. Others were forums where people were asking the same question I was. I started jotting down some of the movie titles that kept popping up:

  • “Ray” – This one came up a lot. Makes sense, it’s about Ray Charles, another music legend.
  • “Walk the Line” – About Johnny Cash. Classic!
  • “Get on Up” – The James Brown story. Heard good things about this one.
  • “What’s Love Got to Do with It”
  • “Bohemian Rhapsody”
  • “Rocketman”
  • “The five heartbeats”

I also found a few that looked interesting but weren’t as famous. I like finding those hidden gems sometimes.

Making My Watchlist

After I had a good list going, I opened up my notes app on my phone. I like to keep track of movies I want to watch. I added all the titles I found, plus a little note about why I thought they were similar to “Cadillac Records.” You know, like “same time period” or “about a famous musician.”

I figured I’d start with “Ray” since it was mentioned so many times. Then I’d probably go with “Walk the Line” because, who doesn’t love Johnny Cash?

Problem Solved (For Now!)

So yeah, that’s how I went about finding some movies like “Cadillac Records.” It wasn’t rocket science, but it took a little digging. Now I’ve got a bunch of movies to check out, and hopefully, I’ll find some new favorites. It’s always cool to discover new stuff, especially when it’s related to something you already love.
