IoMP 75: 6 Must-Watch Metal Movies Every Headbanger Should See

Metal on the big screen isn’t just background noise—it’s a cultural event, a love letter, and sometimes, a trainwreck you can’t look away from. In this week’s episode of the Influencers of Metal Podcast, Collin and Tom take you on a wild ride through six films that showcase metal in all its cinematic glory.
From the cult comedy brilliance of Airheads to the high school chaos of Metal Lords, the glam-soaked Rock of Ages, the debauchery-fueled The Dirt, the globe-spanning documentary Global Metal, and the ultimate mockumentary classic This Is Spinal Tap, the guys dive deep into what makes these films essential (or hilariously ridiculous) for metal fans.
It’s part nostalgia trip, part cinematic critique, and part roast session. Whether you’re into documentaries, cheesy musicals, or cult comedies, these movies prove one thing: metal will always find its way to the silver screen.
