Where to Watch Stardust
- Steve ZodiacAugust 30, 2026"STARDUST" is a MUST SEE underrated classic and one of the top 5 movies ever made about the music business and the pitfalls of being a Rock Star - David Essex is perfectly cast and on review you wonder why he didn't become a major star. It was way ahead of its time and is literally a more honest version of "This Is Spinal Tap" as it looks at the ups and downs of Rock stardom! WHY IS THIS CLASSIC NOT STREAMED OR EVER SHOWN ANYWHERE IS IT BLACKLISTED???
