My (now deceased) father is in that movie! He's only visible for two or three shots, I think. He's the guitar player on the far right in the recording studio near the end of the film. If memory serves, he's sitting next to Marty Robbins.

Oh! Is it true? That's wonderful! So, your father met Clint Eastwood? What a envy!

Being my father's beneficiary, I still get royalty checks for that film every year. Since it came out on DVD, my annual take has increased to over $20. The check normally gets sent to my mother's address, and she then sends it on to me, usually with a mildly humorous note not to squander my inheritance or something along those lines.

I have DVD, too! (Well, I have all of Eastwood's DVD, except The Bridge of Madison county) Okay, someday I'll check on DVD.

I didn't know Clint had scored any of his own films, and especially not about the Unforgiven theme. Neat. He has pleasant taste in music. His son Kyle seems to be quite a talented bassist now, too.

Blake

Yes, he is. He has pleasant taste in music. My other favorites are songs of Dirty Fighter series.

A few of my favourite soundtracks are;
Magic Monkey
Young Einstein
Biggles
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Wayne's World
Blackball
Love Actually

I never got in on this discussion initially, and seeing as how I am still trying to get to senior member status I will reply now.

My favorite soundtracks are:

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (Yo Yo Ma's skills astound me.)

O Brother Where Art Thou (Allison Krauss and all that bluegrass, I was in heaven)

The Wedding Singer (What can I say, I dig the 80's)

I like a lot more than that but those are my favs.

O Brother Where Art Thou (Allison Krauss and all that bluegrass, I was in heaven)

I love bluegrass, too, though I am fairly new to it. Growing up in the Bronx, we weren't exposed to it much.

A few of my favourite soundtracks are;

Biggles

They made a movie about BIGGLES!!!!?? LOL, who knew?

They recently released it on DVD. I just hope that the soundtrack will be released on CD as I only have it on record & can't play it anymore.

What are your favorite movie soundtracks?

I guess the industry now distinguishes between soundtrack and score, although I only heard soundtrack when I was growing up, and it always meant the intrumental music. Guess not anymore.

So, two of my favorite scores are:


The Natural (Robert Redford film based on Bernard Malamud's book, with a totally different ending, but I like it better the way the film ends)

Also, The Natural has perhaps my favorite direction shot in any movie. Think I'll try to find the thread for favorite scenes and post it there.


Rob Roy (modern Liam Neeson version)
