9:Shoot 'Em Up
10:Raiders of the Lost Ark
Anything by John Williams is phenominal, the Wedding singer had very memorable tracks in it, Heavy Metal's soundtrack helped complete the movie, especially in the scene with Reach Out by Cheap Trick playing. Anchorman was a comedic look back into the 70's, and the music helped orchestrate it very well. Empire Records had a song in it called Crazy Life by Toad the Wet Sprocket, which got me hooked instantly. Gross Pointe Blank had the general 90's backround and decent music to go with it which is a bit challenging to do with that sort of movie, and I thought that putting I Can See Clearly Now in it was genius. Raising Arizona. One of my favorite movies of all time, and the comedic soundtrack to complete it. Whenever I want to annoy someone or get their attention, I just start singing the theme song from Raising Arizona and it works real well. Shoot 'Em Up had crazy fight scenes and hard rock/metal to illustrate the bad-assedness of the character. | |

One of the most moving scenes in this film is when Cosimo Medici extends his hand to Brunelleschi, the talented artist misunderstood and rejected by the crowd. | |

Posted: 6/9/2008 6:15:20 PM | The Invincible Soundtrack is one of the best 70's mixed albums I've heard in a while. My dad is a huge music fan and I get my appreciation from him most definitely. He said all those songs brought back so many memories when he would go into the city to go hang out with his buddies. He was also a disco dance freak so the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever would get blared through the house.
I think Lost in Translation and the Marie Antoinette Soundtracks are compilations of pure genius. Sophia Coppolla had a hand in picking the songs for the movies and the way the music flows through the film is amazing. I remember almost every scene from the movies from them.
The Sabrina soundtrack is also great, I think it is just one of those chill out mixes that you can listen to while making dinner or entertaining, or just download to your ipod and walk along to the beach with. Who doesn't enjoy le vie en rose? So romantic.
I'm a huge fan of the 80's so The Wedding Singer is one of my favorites, though I wish John Lovitz cut an entire track of Ladies night for the soundtrack, That scene just makes me burst into giggles. | |

Posted: 7/11/2008 12:09:22 AM | | Dog Day Afternoon has no music except for "Amoreena" by Elton John, in the film's opening minutes. The song is played over a montage of mid-1970's New York scenes, a pleasing combination. And the lack of music throughout the rest of the film is effective. | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 7:57:53 PM | For scores, I love, love, loved "The Lord Of The Rings" scores, they worked so perfectly to accentuate the sense of awe that the images inspired. A few months ago I downloaded (legally!) the end credits from "An American Crime" which is mostly wordless accapella performed by Petra Haden, just her voice layered to sound almost like strings before breaking into a very creepy piano coda. I've never seen the film, but the song creeps me out.
I love musicals, but the soundtrack for those are much more than mood and cue, it's actual dialouge. Recently I've loved "Moulin Rouge," "Dreamgirls" (as movies and soundtracks) and "O Brother Where Art Thou" (mostly just the soundtrack.) But the old-school musical buff in me loves "West Side Story" the most, as well as "The Sound Of Music" and an somewhat obscure film called "Star!" with Julie Andrews. It's a biopic of some jazz singer, and the music is campy and fun.
And I do think any score, even a mediocre one, enhances a film. I watched "House Of Mirth" with Gillian Anderson, it had no score and I really missed it. | |
