Pirate Radio (2009)

In the 1960s, BBC radio didn’t play rock music. So a bunch of dudes got on a boat and broadcast what everyone was secretly listening to anyway!

This movie is pretty entertaining, as ‘based on a true story’ movies go. Lots of talent is involved and there are plenty of laughs. The filmmakers keep it lighthearted, even when terrible things are happening. Very tongue in cheek, very fun. Makes the ‘60s look like the most awesome time ever. Excellent soundtrack, of course.

You probably don’t need to shell out to see it in theaters, though. It will make you just as happy as a rental.
