You can stream That Thing You Do! (1996) on TCM with a subscription.

A Pennsylvania band scores a hit in 1964 and rides the star-making machinery as long as it can, with lots of help from its manager. But behind the scenes, the group’s sudden fame tests their strength, their maturity and responsibility, and their ability to resist the temptations that money and notoriety always make possible.

Sun-drenched nostalgia and infectious pop melodies capture the dizzying, fleeting rush of sudden stardom in the mid-sixties. This charming romp finds the sweet spot between infectious musical joy and the bittersweet reality of a one-hit wonder.
