Stop Making Sense (1984)
Film over het concert van de Talking Heads. David Byrne loopt op het toneel en doet een solo 'Psycho Killer.' Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth en Chris Frantz vallen hem bij met twee andere songs. Het technische team is druk bezig alles op te zetten. Dan 3 andere muzikanten en twee backup zangers vullen de band aan. Iedereen zingt, speelt, danst en rent. Er wordt van instrumenten en kleding veranderd. Byrne komt op in zijn beste kostuum. De achtergrond is vaak zwart, maar soms worden er woorden, foto's en kindertekeningen vertoond. De band gaat voor 18 songs, De tekst is duidelijk, 'the house rocks'. In deze concert film, praten de 'Talking Heads' nauwelijks, 'don't stop, and always make sense'.
Regiseur: Jonathan Demme
