Here's one of the songs in "Rock and Rule"..."My name is Mok." He plays the villain of course.

Quality isn't the best, but the song is very funny. "I'm the best thing since World War III....Girls?" Lou sings.

Gasp...
Toko's already mentioned the schizoid Performance, with Mick Jagger and James Fox (who's not a musician but a great actor in that film)
Gasp...
Terminal Pharmacy's already mentioned Nick Cave's prison movie Ghosts of the Civil Dead, which was rather good, quoted as one of the best Australian pictures of its decade. Cave plays a mad convict placed there to create tension in the most dangerous prisoners area. A beautiful film.

Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson was James Taylor's mechanic in Two Lane Blacktop
Cris Campion, who played oppostite Walter Matthau in Polanski's Pirates was a drummer in a French boys band
So was Mark Wahlberg if I'm correct

Rufus Thomas in Cookie's Fortune
Lyle Lovett in Cookie's Fortune, and the Player, Short cuts
Edson, John Lurie, Arto Lindsay, Ann Magnuson and others in Desperately Seeking Susan (Magnuson would play in the following so-so Susan Seidelman picture with John Malkovich)

Ric Ocasek (painting the light from a bulb), Debbie Harry in Hairspray
Ric Ocasek and Neil young (truck driver) in Alan Rudolph's Made in Heaven
Neil Young would play in another Rudolph film, Love at Large, that isn't great
Rudolph directed a picture I've never seen called Roadie, which had Alice Cooper, Meat Loaf and Harry-Stein-Burke-Destri-Infante-Harrison

Boss Hog plays in Joe's Apartment cockroach picture
The Woodentops in Assayas' Désordre

don't know if thse were mentioned but:

Oingo Boingo in Back To School
Gibby Haynes in Nowhere
Bob Dylan in Masked and Anonymous
Teresa Taylor in Slacker

and of course Richard Edson, Gordon Gano, Debbie Harry, David Johansen, LL Cool J, Kate Pierson, Iggy Pop, Michael Stipe in The Adventures of Pete and Pete... but that's a tv show

Nick Cave seem's to have appeared in loads of films, but no one mentioned his part in Wings of Desire.
