From what I've heard of the music - I've watched the first half or so - it
does sound vaguely like the Beatles from Magical Mystery Tour or some such.

One of Nillson's albums had a note from John Lennon on the cover, saying
how much he admired his music. Like minds?

Anyone remember Sound of Music? There is an excellent theme from
Romeo & Juliet classic "time for us". Also Mark Twain based film
("Moon River), What about Born Free? Recently I see Amos and Andrew
with theme song "Down y the sea". (the film is a crap).
There is also Love Story, A Star is Born, Bette Midler
Winds Beneath my Wing (Beachees??). A chorus line?
Some hits by Barry White? For modern movie perhaps Mannequin
Dirty Dancing, Flashdance, Grease Mahogany?

Sometimes the music for a movie is contracted for before filming
even starts. This could leave a contract to be kept, while the music
, and particulary, some of the pop-tunes just don't fit. They might
know something better will fit, but this must now fit.
Usually movie producer and music producer do have a product
that does both of them proud.

Then there's Eddy Grant's "Romancing the Stone", inexplicably dropped from
the movie. Cool song, too.

For big hits MOVIE theme song/album (modern) perhaps
Whitney H. BODYGUARD or B. Adam ROBIN HOOD. Another one
is GHOST (Unchained melody). I also remember
TOP GUN (Take my breath away), PRETTY LADY (Roxette).
For fake one try THREE MUSKETEERS (B. Adams, R Stewart).

RE #80 I believe that song from "Three Musketeers" was "All For Love" by Bryan
Adams, Rod Stewart, and Sting (or "ASS," if you're an acronym fanatic).

The big hit from Big Mountain (Reggae hits) and "Anything You want"
(Reba M?) also come from movie. Phil Collins also have hits
from the movie "buster" (Groovy kind of love). SEAL also
have hits from the BASTMAN series. Bruce S. also have giant hits
"Streets of Philadelphia" from the movie related to AIDS.
BTW any site about MOVIE / TV theme song?

I've seen web sites before with WAV or MIDI versions of cult classics - Rocky
Horror, Star Wars, etc. I don't know about 'everyday' movies.
A while ago, I spent quite a while hunting for Benny & Joon soundtrack clips
to no avail, but perhaps a better-known movie would prove better-represented.

Forget the web. It's more attention deficit than televeision, anyways. Do
you have the soundtrack?

No, thus the problem.
Actually, I was looking fany sounds from the movie - soundtrack, dialogue,
whatever.

I just realized I needed to seek out another cool soundtrack: the one for
the documentary about R. Crumb, the cartoonist (_Crumb_). Lots of good old
blues tunes.

Has anybody mentioned the "little rascals" music CD that came out a few
years ago? Highly recommended.

How about the "Greatest TV Commercials" CD, which features memorable
commercials and advertising jingles from the 1950's on?

I was in Encore the other day and spotted a soundtrack I'd been trying to
locate for years: the soundtrack to _Paperhouse_, a very cool, slightly
surreal, and highly intelligent British psychological thriller. Very cool
brooding music by Hans Zimmer.

Out of curiousity, has anybody seen a soundtrack for "princess Bride"? Pretty
good stuff. :) And that's a composer that I'm surprised taht nobody's name.
(not that I can remember his name off the top of my head at the moment,
but...:) The composer was the lead singer of Dire Straits....he's done a
buncyh of other movies too, including one that I *believe* was up for an oscar
this year...

TV producer David Kelley liked the work of a commercially unsuccessful
singer-songwriter, Vonda Shepherd, so much that he gave her a regular
gig on his TV series ALLY McBEAL. Once or twice every week, Shepherd
is playing at the bar where the lawyers go to drink and dance.
(#97: the name eeyore is looking for is Mark Knopfler.)

#95 Yeah. I guess mike is right. It is James Horner. By the way, does Horner
has any good works before _Titanic_ ?
