 Film soundtracks
Topic Originator: dave67

I was at a mates last night and we ended up watching the wanderers. This got us thinking what other films have great soundtracks. What's everyone else's views on great soundtracks

Lots of good soundtracks. My favourite would probably either be Local Hero or Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence. Both can make me tear up.

Lots of great stuff from Westerns - "The Magnificent Seven" for example.

Likewise the so called spaghetti westerns.

Trivia question - which song from a 1950s Western won an Oscar ?

Quadrophenia for me. Also like the classical music in a clockwork orange.

AGYG did win an Oscar - but not for a specific song.

Good call though.

A wee clue - the singer's son became a well known actor, and three grandchildren also in the business.

As soon as I saw the thread heading I was thinking Human Traffic.

Would have been interesting to see if the live events they had planned for this summer would have been any good or a terrible cash in.

Straight Outta Compton has a good sound track but I don't think that would go down too well on here.

''Trivia question - which song from a 1950s Western won an Oscar ?''

'Do Not Forsake Me, O My Darling' sung by Tex Ritter as the theme song to 'High Noon'. It's official title was 'The Ballad of High Noon '. Ritter's other claim to fame, of course, was an entry in the Dictionary of Rhyming Slang'.😊😊😊

Gladiator, Star Wars (all of them) and Interstellar are probably my top 3, but it is really difficult as there are so many amazing film scores/soundtracks to pick from.

I think its mutually beneficial a lot of the time. A lot of good tracks have had new life breathed into them after featuring on popular films.

Steelers Wheel - Stuck in the middle
House of Pain - Jump Around
Jackie Wilson - Higher and Higher
Gary Jules - Mad World
Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings

There are way too many to list.

When you get someone that can connect the right song to the right scene in a film both the film and the artist benefit.

Surprised that no-one's mentioned 2001, surely the most-played and most recognisable film theme/soundtrack of the lot.

And South Pacific anyone?

Saw the film Schemers at the cinema the other day.
Has a really good soundtrack and is a pretty decent film as well.
Set in Dundee it tells the story of music promoter Davy McLean who went on the be manager of Placebo.
Worth a watch for anyone looking to go to the cinema just now.

Someone has made a playlist of most of the songs in it on spotify.

Knew Molko lived for a period in Dundee but didn't know the manager was also from Dundee. Was it someone he knew or just coincidence?

Movie doesn't go into that. Just one of the things that comes up at the end of the film saying what happened to everyone after.

Edit - A bit of research shows Molko was a kid when he lived in Dundee. They met when an at the time unsigned Placebo approached McLean to try and get them some gigs in 1995.

I went to see Sergio Leone's trilogy of westerns, starring Clint Eastwood, at the cinema when they first came out and the music score by Ennio Morricone was simply stunning. For you younger dotnetters, the films were:-

1. For a fistful of dollars
2. For a few dollars more
3. The good, the bad and the ugly.

Your exchange illustrates how easily posts on a forum can be misinterpreted. No face to face contact means we are unable to evaluate body language and more specifically, facial expressions.

Eta. I remember Pans People appearing regularly on TOTP, but I can't remember them dancing to the Good, the Bad and the Ugly theme tune. Are you sure that's not just an imaginary of your figment? ☺
