Members wiccachick_1 Posted September 8, 2008 Members Share Posted September 8, 2008 I am a soundtrack junkie. I love them and have a pretty good collection. Some of my favorite soundtracks are: Cruel Intentions Buffy the Vampire Slayer (some really great unique sounding bands including a hauntingly gothic "Transylvanian Concubine" by Darling Violetta) She's Having a Baby (good eighties alternative pop songs in there) Platoon (good sixties "fight the man" songs) Pretty in Pink (who doesn't like a little OMD??)

Members soapluva Posted September 10, 2008 Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 I love Shirley Bassey and the whole Bond thing too. I actually have Moonraker, Goldfinger and I who have nothing by Shirley Bassey on my ipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LegalGirl82 Posted September 11, 2008 Members Share Posted September 11, 2008 Toups~ It's the track "The Dragon's Heartbeat" from Randy Edelman's soundtrack for the film, "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story". It gets used in a lot of trailers...particularly "Forrest Gump". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members XxTaraXx Posted September 11, 2008 Members Share Posted September 11, 2008 The Virgin Suicides, Across the Universe, Dazed and Confused, and Almost Famous are some of my favorite soundtracks. As far as tv shows go, Gossip Girl has a really good music team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 Sophia Coppola hiring Air to do Virgin Suicides was an inspired choice. They said they listened to some 70s electornic scores--like Moroder's American Gigolo one--for inspiration. Great moody stuff that works as well on CD as it does for the movie.

Administrator Toups Posted September 12, 2008 Administrator Share Posted September 12, 2008 Thank you so much, LegalGirl!! Yeah, I noticed that it's used in a lot of trailers (and it's used a lot during the Olympics too) and I always wondered where the music was from. It's so good.

Administrator Toups Posted September 12, 2008 Administrator Share Posted September 12, 2008 The score from :45 to 1:05 - Is that from The Dark Knight? What about from 1:09 to 2:02? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 13, 2008 Administrator Share Posted September 13, 2008 I just finished watching "No Reservations" and Philip Glass did the score. It reminded me of his "The Hours" score which I just totally loved. "The Hours" was the first movie I noticed Philip Glass. I simply love his piano pieces - it's so beautiful, haunting and sad. It's one of my favorite film scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 14, 2008 Members Share Posted September 14, 2008 Glass can be brilliant. But I think the criticisms about him repeatign himself have proven true. I did LOVE his short theme for the flop tv remake a few years back of Night Stalker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members applcin Posted September 14, 2008 Members Share Posted September 14, 2008 I'm going back a ways but I really like "Grease" and "The Jazz Singer" soundtracks--as a Neil Diamond fan I can admit he sucked as an actor but those were some great songs for the film. Saturday Night Fever is another good one, luv me those BeeGees. And, as a Star Trek fan, I think, between all the tv shows and the movies, they had some great music...not just the themes but the music that would play during scenes--the original series, especially, had some memorable music--fight scenes had a certain theme, the Vulcans had another kind of music, a dangerous space object had another theme...

Members Sylph Posted September 19, 2008 Members Share Posted September 19, 2008 May I recommend Eleni Karaindrou, who composes for Angelopoulos's films? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 I don't even know any of his films! Just the name... Do you have examples of highlights movie/sound track wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 Thank God It's Friday had by FAR the better disco soundtrack--Casablanca and Motown hired their best to score it and it kinda flopped--even with Paul Jabara (in a bizarre straight acting role) and his great song for Donna Summer, Last Dance. Diana Ross has an AMAZING disco song on there--Lovin', Livin', Givin' and the full four record set is made of great eurodisco songs--the movie is kinda fun largely to see Jeff Goldblum act as king of disco--and Terri Nunn who DOnna Summer's producer liked so much he gave her Take My Breath Away 7 years later.
