British helmer Richard Curtis (LOVE ACTUALLY) directs a cast of his countrymen (plus lone American star Philip Seymour Hoffman) in this comedy set in Britain in 1966. While the BBC would allow only two hours of rock and roll to be played on its airwaves a week, pirate stations broadcast music to the pop-starved masses. THE BOAT THAT ROCKED also stars Bill Nighy, Nick Frost, Rhys Ifans, and Kenneth Branagh.It features some of the greatest songs from the '60s and '70s, as well as the odd gem from the '80s. A new version of "Stay With Me Baby" performed by Duffy, meanwhile, provides the backdrop to one of the film's most poignant moments. Includes cuts from The Kinks, The Turtles, The Beach Boys, Herb Alpert, David Bowie, The Who, The Moody Blues, The Isley Brothers and many others. 35 tracks. Mercury.
