Anything scored by Ennio Morricone. Once Upon a Time in the West is a classic. One of my most 'favorite' soundtracks is Electra Glide in Blue from James William Guercio. Gatefold will cool posters and a booklet. Skins
"The Hot Spot", an interesting soundtrack featuring Miles Davis and John Lee Hooker. The movie itself (with Don Johnson) was mediocre. Music is redolent of the 1957 soundtrack to "Ascenseur pour l'échafaud" (also highly recommended).
I remember going to see FM and when the credits were coming up getting up to leave and Steely Dan came on sittting back down for one of the greatest sax solo I’ve ever heard. "FM - Reprise" - Steely Dan I stayed to the end. Left the movie theater and walked down to Disc-O-Rama and purchased the 2 record set. Wow.
One of my favorites has to he Big Lebowski. Well thought out and even some good music lover jokes tossed into the mix. 👍 Another of my favorites is Spun. Billy Corgan did the music on that film. Hard film to watch but great when you’re in the mood for some dark humor. Third mention would be Into The Wild where Eddie Vedder did the music for the movie. That one makes a good album all by itself as well.
great example of film noir ... technically speaking, also a very early example of french new wave.
It's a great film, imo, and in addition to the soundtrack by Miles Davis the film also has a really cool car chase scene with a sweet Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing, which I guess was the fastest production car at the time. It's a very cool scene.
It's been a long time since I saw the film but I recall that scene was actually more of a street race.
I bet there a few Mercedes enthusiasts in our group!
Blade Runner by Vangelis was outstanding. [Aside: Wasn't there something about the soundtrack being "lost"? Was it found or recreated for the release of the album? Anyone know?]
2001: A Space Odyssey. The score helped make the film as much as any of the special effects and got many of us rock fans into classical forever.
Thanks @hilde45now THAT is going to be stuck in my head playing all day long....
