200 Motels (1971)
"Viajar te vuelve loco", dice Frank Zappa, explicando que la idea de esta película se le ocurrió mientras las madres de la invención estaban de gira. La historia, intercalada con las actuaciones de las Madres y la Royal Symphony Orchestra, es una historia de la vida en el camino. Las principales preocupaciones de los miembros de la banda son la búsqueda de groupies y el deseo de cobrar.
