Body: What are some movie scenes where the music along with the visuals just blew you away. yeah I know your goona throw out Indiana Jones running for the plane, or Luke Skywalker dodging magic bullets. Some of mine are 1. Tom Cruise on the top of the building in Vanilla Sky, with Sigur Rós Njosnavelin playing in the background. The goodbye is heartbreaking. 2. The three way shootout scene in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Morricone's score was perfect. 3. The tearing down the shacks scene in Dark Days with UNKLE (richard ashcroft and DJ shadow). 4. The last scene in 8 1/2 with the dance and circus music. Truely a perfect closing. 5. The goodbye scene in Eternal Sunshine when the house is crumbling. The music is simple, yet utterly heartbreaking as well as the scene. Jon Brion is such a genius. What are yours?

Body: I often like a movie which has a good plot but is also highly educational..particularly one I might have to roll it back and review things. Lorenzo's Oil was a good example of such. It was a great movie which exemplified determination of the human spirit in saving a boys iife from a rare and fatal disease, along with also those who succeeded the boy. This was one of Nick Nolte's and Susan Surandon's best performances. I like them both. Of course, I liked Nick in Cape Fear. I liked Susan Surandon in Thelma and Louise as well. Cheers Guys.

Body: There are quite a few out there... one that always comes to mind for me is the soundtrack for 'The Good the Bad and the Ugly'. To this day, everyone knows the theme with the whistle and the whip-snap chorus. It is probably one of the first soundtracks I can remember hearing that was so emotionally charged, with its frantic open-range sounds and hoof-beat rythms. In a lot of ways, I would compare it with the work of Clint Mansell, who did Requiem for a Dream, with its frantic, fevered highs and mellow, somber lows. No vocals necessary to express the vast emotional palette the composers were painting with.

Body: I'm interested in Soundtracks in how they elevate a film, but also as pieces of music on their own. I like the ambience of a movie score; sometimes it can take over like the soundtrack of whatever you're doing at the time. I like to listen to them when I write. Love these: 1. Tous les Matins du Monde (Jordie Savall playing the Viola da Gamba) 2. The Piano and Carrington and probably other Michael Nyman scores 3. Cliff Martindale's score for Solaris (Soderbergh's). Minimalist but still emotionally charged... I'm a huge Philip Glass fan and own all of his soundtracks, but I'd have to say my three favorites are: 1. The Secret Agent (directed by Christopher Hampton) 2. Candyman (honestly, I've never seen this horror film, and there's a long story about Glass's involvement that I won't go into, but the eerie toy piano combined with Glass's usual stuff carries itself well). 3. Of all the "Qatsi" film, I like the score for Naqoyqatsi best, probably because Yo-yo Ma plays on it. There are probably more....

Body: While most of us may agree that Chariots of Fire or The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly may be fantastic soundtracks, you're probably not very likely to be listening to these on your iPod very often (unless maybe you're near the end of your run or you're feeling like a badass). Anyway, I am wondering what soundtrack you listen to the most? I'll probably catch some flack for this as it's not really within the genre of a typical spout member, but the soundtrack I listen to the most is actually Hustle and Flow (2005). I really enjoy it and don't forget the lead track did actually win an Oscar! Let me know what you think.

Body: Has anybody seen this film. First of all, I really don't ever like sports movies. I typically think they are cliché, and over dramatized, and just plain rediculous. BUT this film is an exception. I was blown away. The cinematography, the editing, the directing, and most of all, the MUSIC! A texas band, called Explosions in the Sky did the entire score, and it is perfect. If you like epic art rock, you will love this band and this film. I will go as far to say it is the best sports film I have seen I highly recommend it. Call it varsity blues for grown ups.

Body: As ridiculous as the 347 year old Dick Clark can be, his whole "Music is the soundtrack to tour lives" quotes is...well, pretty ridiculous as well. Still, there's something about it that clicks, I think. Sometimes music is overused and misused in movies. Like Cameron Crowe's recent film Elizabethtown. You know, it's easy to enjoy a movie just because there's lots of great music, when in fact underneath it all is an all-too familiar plot, silly-shallow characters, and...well, that's about it. But then there's filmmakers who place just the right song in just the right places and as a result makes a great film more magical. I think Wes Anderson is a great example. I mean, when Gwynneth Paltrow (the troubled adopted daughter in The Royal Tennenbaums) meets Luke Wilson on the train station while Neco's version of "These Days" plays...it sets a perfect atmosphere of moments all viewers can relate to. So what's your top five favorite soundtracks? Here's mine to start: 1. Rushmore: From obscure Kinks tracks ("Nothing in this World Stops Me Worrying About That Girl") to forgotten Donovan classics, the soundtrack's songs are as quirky and marginalized as Max Fisher. 2. Can't Hardly Wait: If the film had any depth or practical wisdom I wouldn't like it nearly as much as I do. It's just about naive, clueless highshool graduates with only two priorities: have fun and fall in love. I think its soundtrack, with greats like Third Eye Blind, Parliament, and Matthew Sweet, is the perfect pomp and circumstance for the film's characters. 3. Forrest Gump: Sure, maybe a double disc of nearly EVERY pop classic from 1955-1975 was a bit much. But like the movie, these songs never lose their heartwarming charm. 4. Stand By Me: No other film better illustrates childhood friendship. And the songs that the ragtag boys sing and walk along to as they search for a dead body remind us what it was like to be young. Standout track/scene? "Lollipop." 5. Night On Earth: Tom Waits, my favorite singer, did the wonderful soundtrack to Jim Jarmusch's breakthrough film. Now, what are yours?
