Rock: It's Your Decision (1982)
Fundamentalist style Christian propaganda movie about the evils of rock music. I think it would be fair to say the movie overshoots a little, as our lead character (even IMDb can't be bothered with his name) becomes a religious fanatic and loses all his friends after being challenged by his youth pastor (following a prompting by his mom and dad) to give up rock music for two weeks and investigate if it's really compatible with a Christian life style. This movie is interesting as both a bad movie, and in a vaguely anthropological sense. You can see the whole 52 minutes for free online, or watch any numbers of videos of people ripping into it. To me the movies chief virtue is probably that part of it was filmed inside a mall, and I find 1980's malls nostalgically quite satisfying. More watchable then it has any right to be. **
