Which ones did it for you? "
I absolutely love Footloose, always gets me up dancing like a loon  |

stuck in the middle with you during scene with mr blonde and the police office in reservoir dogs was the first thing that sprung to mind
i think music plays a great part in most Tarantino films but that scene is elevated by the choice in song |

Sooooo many!
When I was in high school I took a course called Music in Film (it was for those of us who couldn't make it in art class  ). There are some crazy interesting connotations in the music chosen for films. One of the most interesting clases I've ever taken. |

"Wow! How hot is Ruth?
Ummm, I don't know! How hot *is* Ruth? 
Sorry, thought movie night inspired this thread? However amazingly hot as an older milf?"
Ahaha!!! Gotcha!! It did. But I'm watching about ten mins behind so only just got Ruth coming onto my screen now! Hahaha!
As you were  |

That sounds like a brilliant class! It must be a really interesting job too. I'd enjoy Ligeia's input in music/movie decision making, I reckon she'd have some interesting choices. |

"Drive.
The film was kind of meh, but the soundtrack is amazing."
You already know I agree on this.
Also, I've only just made the Gosling-Lib connection.

Hans Zimmer's score for Gladiator was amazing - beautiful music full of emotion and so apt for each scene in which it featured . It's very evocative if you listen to it on its own. But then he's an unbelievably talented composer. |

Oh, I feel I should re-watch/re-listen as the memory of the music is a bit faded. I shall be attentive as I do. |

That sounds fun, I studied film as part of my degree and music used was part of that.
Also owned the top gun sound track for too many years 
But my favourite music in film moments
Queen who wants to live forever - highlander - heartbreaking.
Blow monkeys - you don't own me - dirty dancing
Lauren wood - fallen - pretty woman
This ones a bit of a cheat as not really a song in this sense but a classical/choral piece
Fauré in paradisum requiem - copycat

Ooooh I love that you've done a list! And classical is not a cheat, I adore classical and operatic pieces being used in movies so it counts definitely! |

"Just watched Forrest Gump again and got to say it's one of the best music soundtracks ever. The music guides your through the film brilliantly and is such a big part of the emotion in the film."

I love subtle ones or the happy accidents. The character themes written for Withnail, for example, are so subtle and so fitting as is the use of already existing songs on the soundtrack. The placeholder classical (small c before anyone points out they weren't Classical at all) tracks used in 2001 that Kubrick just got clearance for in the end because he edited the scenes to them so gloriously there was no point in using the score he had commissioned. Recentish though the score for Dredd was cracking. Especially the requiem at the end. And I love how that came about (it involves YouTube and Justin Bieber of all things). I could go on all night about sound design and music placement in film. But I won't. |

Youtube it and listen in the dark, if your hair doesn't stand up. Then we'll reconsider!  |

I haven't seen the former, I have to admit I have seen the latter -- but wasn't really listening to the soundtrack. |

Dirty Dancing or Saturday Night Fever for me.
Also, Evita if I can get away with a straight up musical. I really don't like the film or story but I adore the soundtrack. |

Yeah but what if it has a movie adaptation and you can buy it on DVD? 
Gerard Butler is NOT my phantom and I flatly refuse to use him as an example here! |

It has to be about the music that you think lifts the movie. Your call... |

There are no accidents - especially in music chosen for tv/film. There's original score - music written specifically for the scene or titles and found music - where previously released music is used.
Sometimes the use of found music launches the artist of course - had any of you heard of Roxette before pretty woman?
Estella thanks for the compliment, it's a subject I find very interesting. I'm a book lover at heart but I adore film and music too having been raised in a family containing a DJ and a session drummer not much choice on the music front
I do a fair rendition of 'another suitcase' myself I think |

The bit in 'Once Upon A Time In The West' when you find out why Charles Bronson's character carries the harmonica everywhere might be my favourite use of music in a scene.
As for whole soundtracks a recent fave is 'The Duke Of Burgundy' scored by Cats Eyes. Folk, classical, abstract noise, found sounds... like the film it's very strange but very sexy and sensual. Its unobtrusive enough to have on in the background too when you're, er... you know, that thing we're all here for ??

I get what you're saying but it's more I view film as an audiovisual text. But that's maybe getting a little too deep for a sat night on fab!
Regarding adaptation, well some work some don't. Rare for an adaptation to be well received. Part of the problem is that we often forget that our reading of a book is just that, our reading of it, the reader as editor and director kinda - just see how heated discussions on casting of well known literary characters gets - especially of comic book characters.

Last weekend I watched "American Made" starring Tom Cruise - I'm not a massive Tom Cruise fan, but the film was very good indeed. Made even better by a fantastic soundtrack. I was delighted to hear the fantastic Allman Brothers Band's live version of Elmore James "One Way Out"

"There are no accidents - especially in music chosen for tv/film. There's original score - music written specifically for the scene or titles and found music - where previously released music is used.
Sometimes the use of found music launches the artist of course - had any of you heard of Roxette before pretty woman?
Estella thanks for the compliment, it's a subject I find very interesting. I'm a book lover at heart but I adore film and music too having been raised in a family containing a DJ and a session drummer not much choice on the music front
I do a fair rendition of 'another suitcase' myself I think
So true, sometimes it's the movie that maketh the music! Yes, as a bookworm myself it's the whole package that I enjoy about films, how the cinematography, casting, music all beings the story of the book to life.
I get what you're saying but it's more I view film as an audiovisual text. But that's maybe getting a little too deep for a sat night on fab!
Regarding adaptation, well some work some don't. Rare for an adaptation to be well received. Part of the problem is that we often forget that our reading of a book is just that, our reading of it, the reader as editor and director kinda - just see how heated discussions on casting of well known literary characters gets - especially of comic book characters.
Sorry - beloved subject of mine
We should get a drink and discuss sometime, I'd love to hear more.
Would love to - not been in London for yonks! But far for a drink.n a blether though
Next London marathon ...
Haha I'm way too unfit to run any marathons, but a friend is waiting to hear if he has a spot so you never know "
To be honest I mixed you up then with the marathon running Evie on the forum! Sorry!
I'm totally not a marathon runner either! |

"Last weekend I watched "American Made" starring Tom Cruise - I'm not a massive Tom Cruise fan, but the film was very good indeed. Made even better by a fantastic soundtrack. I was delighted to hear the fantastic Allman Brothers Band's live version of Elmore James "One Way Out"

You're very welcome Estella. Their music has given me a great deal of pleasure over the years and I hope you enjoy it too. |
