"That all looked really intellectual to me, however.... The musical score from Platoon is simply fantastic. The entire soundtrack from "The Lost Boys" " I did come across as a pompous twuzzock on re-reading that -- sorry! Although the 80s may have saved me at the end. Thank god I didn't open up my jazz box of obsession! Yes!!! To the Lost Boys. I'm going to have to put that on now, good call. And Platoon, some great ones -- I'm lining up White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane to play too now! | |||

"I remember going to see "The Jazz singer" with Neil Diamond and loved the soundtrack. Used to love watching cold case on sky lots of good songs on there x " I had the same with the TV series, True Blood, which always ended with a different tune on the credits, discovered some great ones that way! | |||

"The Commitments soundtrack was obviously an integral part of the story, but made the film what it is. Can remember as a 12 year old sitting watching as that iconic text drifts into the distance and the just as iconic music played over the opening credits of Star Wars. The Pirates Of The Caribbean soundtrack is also pretty evocative. Moulin Rouge was obviously a musical but the choice of songs made the film. Yes to Platoon, yes to Lost Boys and yes to that scene in Apocalypse Now! too!!" Oh yeah, The Commitments I don't really recall The PotCaribbean soundtrack at all, mmmmm going to have to re-look at that one! And yes, musicals....obviously! | |||

"I love Howard Shore's evocative, atmospheric scores in LoTR, Seven and Gangs of New York to name a few films. And Philip Glass gives me a lady boner . In terms of bands on shows? I really like the True Blood and The Originals OST - so many amazing artists feature and they're unashamedly epic. Quite often there are covers that are spookily wonderful. The scenes where Hayley and Elijah kiss generally have epic bands like London Grammar. Oh and Stranger Things soundtrack - so good ." How did I forget Stranger Things?! So much yes!! Love your other choices too. | |||

"Having just fallen back into the wonderful world of Twin Peaks, I've been thinking about how the music enhances the experience of the programme massively -- as is often much more the typical case in the movies. Do you have particular tunes from the cinema that just make the story come alive or punctuate a favourite scene, or indeed have you discovered wonderful songs/singers/bands from having watched a film? Off the top of my head, I'm thinking about scores by Angelo Badalamenti and songs sung by Julee Cruise in Twin Peaks or the newly featured bands performing at The Roadhouse in the credits for the new series thus far. Actually AB's score for Lynch's The Straight Story too! And then of course, Ennio Morricone scores (Cinema Paradiso, Once Upon A Time In The West), or Gustavo Santaolalla (Motorcycle Diaries, Brokeback Mountain). O mio babbino caro - from the opera Gianni Schicchi which is used in the film, A Room With A View -- although I always preferred the other key aria used in this film Chi il bel sogno di Doretta - from the opera La Rondine. Or songs such as Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds used in The Breakfast Club and Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now - Starship used in Mannequin and 80s fabulousness! And there's loads, loads more!! Which are the ones that you enjoy? " I've never seen any of Twin Peaks but i know Johnny Jewel (who i hugely admire) was involved in the soundtrack for the new season with his band chromatics. I'm tempted to give the new season a go just to see and hear JJ and chromatics in it but do i need to have watched the earlier seasons to make sense of it? (soz, bit off topic!) | |||

"The sound of music xx" I used to think the lyric in the song Maria, which in reality is : "Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?" was "how do you hold a moomin in your hand?" which I feel still works. I mean *how do you?* | |||

Drive Bladerunner Performance Stranger Things I love atmospheric synthesiser scores! " Oh you've hit another genre I love there! Bladerunner is one of my favourite movies -- Vangelis!!

Electric Youth, Under Your Spell -- Desire and Night Call -- Kavinsky & Lovefoxxx!!) | |||

They play out the last scene of part 2 in the new series, episode 1&2 are combined -- so from 102nd minute 19th second onwards is where you want -- but if you ever intend to watch the programme only watch that section and it won't ruin anything for later!!

"Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait has amazing sound design and music by Mogwai, who also did the incidental music for Les Revenants and it's beautiful. There are too many soundtracks I love to start listing all of them but some favourites that don't often get a mention because they're not that bombastic are Withnail and I (the choice of existing music is spot on and the melancholy inherent in the original score by David Dundas is stunning), Paul Leonard-Morgan's score for Dredd (especially the slow-mo scenes) and the reinvention of some great tunes for Sucker Punch. Luke Cage on Netflix has a phenomenal soundtrack as well." And I don't know any of these bar Withnail -- and even with Withnail I'm going to go back and re-listen!! Ooooh I've got homework here. Thanks for the new recommendations. | |||

"Powaqqatsi Koyaanisqatsi Do what?! " Great shout. Not a film thing, but the excellent Manchester poet Mike Garry sometimes performs with a string quartet playing Philip Glass music. It's incredibly evocative. I was in tears last time I saw them together. I suspect he'll do something stunning on recent events in his home city in time. My favourite film soundtrack is probably David Shire's one for the original of the Taking of Pelham 123. Influenced by Schoenberg and jazz and sounds just like New York. A great moment for me is the gorgeous folk tune (Willow's Song) that plays as Britt Ekland tries to seduce Edward Woodward in the original Wicker Man. The fact she's dancing naked may have something to do with it (ok, it's not really hear l, it's a body double, but the 14 year-old in me refuses to acknowledge it)! Also love Mick Jagger/Ry Cooder doing Memo from Turner in Performance (mad film!). | |||

"A Clockwork Orange John Carpenter's classic late 70's early 80's run (Assault On Precinct 13, Halloween, Escape From New York, The Thing) for which he composed or co-composed the scores. Drive Bladerunner Performance Stranger Things I love atmospheric synthesiser scores! Oh you've hit another genre I love there! Bladerunner is one of my favourite movies -- Vangelis!! And the soundtrack to Drive (The Chromatics, who are featured in the new Twin Peaks series, oh and A Real Hero -- College feat. Electric Youth, Under Your Spell -- Desire and Night Call -- Kavinsky & Lovefoxxx!!) " You may or may not know about this already but if you love all things j jewel & drive related then check out johnny jewels Symmetry project. They've an album called 'Soundtrack For An Imaginary film'. It's rumoured to be the aborted soundtrack to 'Drive' after the producers kicked johnny jewel off the project and replaced him with cliff martinez. Think he deliberately bought it out around the same time as 'Drive' to make a point 'tis awesome though | |||

"Having just fallen back into the wonderful world of Twin Peaks, I've been thinking about how the music enhances the experience of the programme massively -- as is often much more the typical case in the movies. Do you have particular tunes from the cinema that just make the story come alive or punctuate a favourite scene, or indeed have you discovered wonderful songs/singers/bands from having watched a film? Off the top of my head, I'm thinking about scores by Angelo Badalamenti and songs sung by Julee Cruise in Twin Peaks or the newly featured bands performing at The Roadhouse in the credits for the new series thus far. Actually AB's score for Lynch's The Straight Story too! And then of course, Ennio Morricone scores (Cinema Paradiso, Once Upon A Time In The West), or Gustavo Santaolalla (Motorcycle Diaries, Brokeback Mountain). O mio babbino caro - from the opera Gianni Schicchi which is used in the film, A Room With A View -- although I always preferred the other key aria used in this film Chi il bel sogno di Doretta - from the opera La Rondine. Or songs such as Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds used in The Breakfast Club and Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now - Starship used in Mannequin and 80s fabulousness! And there's loads, loads more!! Which are the ones that you enjoy? I've never seen any of Twin Peaks but i know Johnny Jewel (who i hugely admire) was involved in the soundtrack for the new season with his band chromatics. I'm tempted to give the new season a go just to see and hear JJ and chromatics in it but do i need to have watched the earlier seasons to make sense of it? (soz, bit off topic!) I wa typing about them being in it (see my first response to you) and then had to answer the phone!! Snap! Sadly it would ruin ever watching TP to join it late (and as it's my favourite TV show I thoroughly recommend watching it properly but, I was oooooooh as soon as I saw them -- it was good, but made more so by loving the show and knowing the venue where they played and how it used to be Julee Cruise in the initial show doing the live gigs there!) They play out the last scene of part 2 in the new series, episode 1&2 are combined -- so from 102nd minute 19th second onwards is where you want -- but if you ever intend to watch the programme only watch that section and it won't ruin anything for later!! Glorious!!" Thanks! You know, on your recommendation I will endeavour to honour the artistic vision of all involved and watch it from the start! Dunno why I never watched it at the time, its the type of thing I'm normally all over. | |||

"The closing scene of Lost in Translation... (one of my fav films of all time) Jesus and Mary Chain - Just Like Honey Oh gosh, I concur!! Beautiful. In fact any track from that movie. Sofia Coppola (or whoever it was) has a knack of fitting the perfect track into the perfect scene!! " You've reminded me of another Sofia Coppola film with a brilliant soundtrack. The Virgin Suicides' by Air. | |||

"The warriors soundtrack really helped put me in the moment, I watched that film so many times growing up. Also The wanderers, it was the same kind of gang type film but much softer and the soundtrack was awesome, four seasons, surfaris and obviously Dion demucci " | |||
