Memorable Music Movies.

So is the "Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion" speech in the book?

No.

Please don't ask me. I read it in the times when I used to read books (not CA posts ) - seems like 100 years ago..

mansr says no.. problem solved.

Is there a bar graph showing how long it takes a thread about music to be derailed? Why are we surprised when The Usual suspects dominate the conversation? Geeks were ever thus.

The title of this thread is "Memorable Music Movies" so doesn't that make it a thread about movies, not music?

Rutger made up that whole speech.

I do not think about it as of 'derailing'. For me it's expanding. The universe is expanding - if we do not it means that in fact we are ..contracting.. Well, yes - the expanding process sometimes happens through unexpected 'channels'. PK Dick is my favourite sci-fi writer and 'Blade Runner' - IMO definitely one of the most important movies of the genre. So this 'channel' is meaningful for me as it is for some other people here. The movie was mentioned because of the amazing soundtrack.

 

You had a chance to express your thoughts on the thread's subject and put it 'back on the track' (I understand that's what you wanted) - instead you've written a purely negative comment that in fact doesn't bring anything valuable but is just expressing your frustration. You want to change the direction of the thread development - contribute to it. Simple as that.

Well, he mentioned The Usual Suspects, another great film.

[sphinxsix]

BTW an absolute must for all 'Blade Runner' fans (as exciting as the movie itself) - a documentary 'Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner'

 

Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner (Video 2007) - IMDb

 

Does anybody remember Milos Forman's 'Hair'.?

 

[semente]

Tarantino and Lynch should get a lifetime achievment Oscar (maybe even Nobel:)) for the way they use music in their movies!

 

Two of my favourite directors are also amazing at mixing music and cinema :

 

 

Kar-Wai Wong

Tran Anh Hung

Does music accompanying a love scene (or 2 simultaneous love scenes as in this case) get better than this.?

(John Coltrane's 'Tunji' in Spike Lee's 'Mo' Better Blues')

Trainspotting +100!

Cinema Paradiso.. just reminded me of another fantastic Tornatore movie -

[h=1]'The Legend of 1900'[/h]and this amazing scene :

 

[mourip]

Franco Zeffirelli's "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" with music by Donovan...

[qdwieertteyrujpo]

Franco Zeffirelli's "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" with music by Donovan...

 

Yes, that is a beautiful movie with outstanding music!

[petaluma]

A more recent Marvel Comic movie that had great music which was actually a big part of the plot line was Guardians of the Galaxy. Awesome mixes 1 & 2... Bowie, The Jackson 5, The Raspberries, Elvin Bishop, Redbone, Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell....etc... Some of the best pop/rock efforts from the 70s.

 

Also really liked Grosse Point Blank with John Cusack and Dan Akroyd. The Clash, Bowie & Queen, Pete Townshend, Johnny Nash, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs and others.

[TubeLover]

Yes, that is a beautiful movie with outstanding music!

 

Agreed. It's a terrible shame that there was never a soundtrack recording released. Donovan did a beautiful job with those songs he wrote for the film.

Goodfellas - "Layla (piano exit)"

Vanilla Sky - "Can We Still Be Friends" scene is perfect

The Commitments - "Try a Little Tenderness" the buildup was chill-inducing

Oh, and this little number from Orange Is The New Black was quite superb (if you're a fan of folk):

 

[Audio_ELF]

For me music comes first but I'm also a movie fan. [...] There are so many great music movies and it's really difficult to choose one or two as the absolutely best so I'll start with titles that simply first come to mind:

 

Milos Forman's 'Amadeus' surely needs no introduction:

Poinient given the starting point for this thread... Sir Neville Marriner, the conductor of the Amadeus soundtrack, passed away in his sleep last night.

...a great conductor. Thanks for mentioning this.

 

I would like to mention composer Nino Rota, who wrote 171 film scores including Godfather 1&2, many Fellini Films, Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet, a couple of Visconti films, etc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_film_scores_by_Nino_Rota

 

I also like his orchestral music.

[sphinxsix]

RIP Neville Mariner. He left lots of great music.

[Dan Gravell]

Vanilla Sky - "Can We Still Be Friends" scene is perfect

 

Vanilla Sky was going to be my nomination. I love Spiritualized anyway, but the combination of music and scene here I think is magical:

 

[djvitamind]

Boogie Nights for me. That scene at the end with the firecrackers and Jessie's Girl playing on tape. Also love the music in Magnolia. PT Anderson is a personal favorite.

And for me end credits can be interesting, especially if accompanied by music like that.
