The use of music in movies generally takes two forms – building or essaying the mood of a particular scene, (“the score”) or the use of a particular song (or theme) to emphasise a scene’s context.
I’ve only got about four movie soundtracks in my collection that I’m aware of – they include:
Betty Bleu (1986)
Full Metal Jacket (1987)
Colors (1988)
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Bought those soundtracks mainly because they included songs I loved by artists who weren’t in the collection, or the whole soundtrack stood on its merits. Whoever curated the Full Metal Jacket soundtrack for example, did very well indeed.
Other classic soundtracks I love include Animal House and Quadrophenia, both featuring the Kingsmen’s “Louie Louie”, which legend would have it, was the subject of a long running (31 months) FBI investigation due to allegations the lyrics were allegedly laced with profanity, graphically depicting (that’s enough of that – Dover) culminating in this legendary finding: (FBI Agents were) “unable to interpret any of the wording in the record.”
Something that does get on my goat is the incongruous, completely out of context use of songs in movies – see for example the use of Jr Walker and the Allstars’ “Shotgun” in “Misery”.
Two songs that anyone who’s seen the films will immediately recognise:
Theme from Betty Bleu – Gabriel Yared
Misirlou – Dick Dale
Enjoy, people! Please post freely, especially your favourite songs or music from various films, of which there should be many. Again, I’m barely scratching the surface here. Plenty of space in the comments section, so go for it. You know you want to.
Movie soundtracks?
Mmm…two soundtracks from David Lean’s films would have to be noted
Lawrence of Arabia (1962) & Dr Zhivago (1965).
And John Williams…a different cup of tea from the above because he borrows from modernism and includes dissonance which yet resolves into harmony.
This one is current. I watched Top Gun: Maverick on one of the flights to Europe and then this song was being used by Irish TV channel RTE One in advertisements for a new chat show that started when we were in Ireland, so the song will always remind me of Ireland.
Maurice Jarre too.
The soundtrack to Witness sounds a bit dated now because it is no synth laden but still effective dramatically, particulary the barn raising scene.
And Chariots of Fire by Vangelis from the same period.
Reginald Dwight dons a pair of Cherry Red 14 Holes so as to sing about a poor li’l deaf dumb and blind boy, who sure plays a mean …
I watched a fun one last night – The Knight’s Tale.
Everything changes at the two minute mark. Lots of fun.
Some classic blues from the FMJ soundtrack … 🙂
And of course … 🙂
John Barry – Out of Africa – the lot
Zimmer/Gerard – Now we are free
I think these might be some of the first instances of using pop songs in music soundtracks (other than musicals & films that were vehicles for pop stars like Elvis & The Beatles):
Moon River in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)
Mrs. Robinson from The Graduate (1967).
Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head in Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid (1969)
I particularly like this one from Dirty Dancing:
Wipeout
The good the bad and the ugly – Theme
The first soundtrack album I bought was for The Big Chill.
Rick James – Colors (everywhere I go)
Does anyone remember the early colonial mini-series starring Jon English? His song from that show came up on my iPhone shuffle a few weeks ago.
Six Ribbons.
Yes…great songs, mostly soul.
And they complement the script and acting, rather than dominating them, which I find missing in more recent use of pop music in films, where the music dominates. Classical screen composers always knew not to do that.
Which reminds me of Bernard Herrmann’s great score for Taxi Driver, which arguably broke that rule
A film I’ve never seen featuring a song I’ve always loved …
I think I’ll go with Francis Ford Coppola. The Patton theme by Jerry Goldsmith and Ride of the Valkyries in Apocalyse Now. I won’t link as the best vids are a bit chunky for this time of the evening!
So instead I’ll put up this one, which is a song from one movie applied perfectly to a later remake.
Tribute to the Joker and Heath Ledger
Dr Zhivago has the following piece of music that was the bridal waltz at a few weddings I attended in the 70s.
Lara’s Theme.
Taxi Driver title sequence.
“American Graffiti”?
Carefully-selected 50s / early 60s music.
“Crossroads”?.
“The Mission’ (Ennio Morricone); a non-pop soundrack of impressive presence.
Who can forget this, when seen on a cinema screen with Dolby sound?
https://youtu.be/UTCbnJLYQA8
If it works.
Yay for me, it worked, it worked.
From Dusk till Dawn.
And don’t forget Bond and Star Wars. Especially Star Wars. Have I mentioned Star Wars?
Loathsome characters – unrepentant hypocrites as exemplified in the scene where the Kevni Kline character defends his new found respect for “the pigs”. Lovely sly reference to his company on the passing truck though, “Running Dogue”.
And yes, “Jeremiah was a bullfrog“, as opposed to a cane toad.
John Williams, Crazy (see above). A wonderful film composer.
Also did Jaws & Saving Private Ryan, among many others.
Um…that was the point!
😀
Great post Rabz !
In regards to Full Metal Jacket . . . Kubrick’s attention to music was an aspect of what many referred to as his “perfectionism” and extreme attention to minute details.
In his last six films, Kubrick usually chose music from existing sources, especially classical compositions. He preferred selecting recorded music over having it composed for a film, believing that no hired composer could do as well as the public domain classical composers. He also felt that building scenes from great music often created the “most memorable scenes” in the best films.
Surprise, surprise as a cinema aficionado I have a very large digital library of film soundtracks, of which some of my favourites are:
2001: A Space Odyssey – A mix of classical and avant-garde.
Blade Runner – Vangelis
Enigma – John Barry
Gladiator – Hans Zimmer
Inception – Hans Zimmer
Jaws – John Williams
Lawrence Of Arabia– Maurice Jarre
Once Upon A Time In The West – maestro Ennio Morricone
Psycho – Bernard Herrmann
Schindler’s List – John Williams
The Big Country – Jerome Moross
The Dollars Trilogy – Ennio Morricone
The Godfather – Nino Rota
The Ipcress File – John Barry
The Ninth Gate – Wojciech Kilar
The Usual Suspects – John Ottman
Vertigo – Bernard Herrmann
Where Eagles Dare – Ron Goodwin
Zulu – John Barry
My favourite Scorcese Film – it’s just a shot away …
Thanks Wolfie – you inspired this thread.
The TV series Tour of Duty had a fantastic soundtrack with so many hits from the 60s including the theme song.
Paint It Black.
I agree, not much to like in the film except the music.
Rog, the hypocrisy didn’t pass me over at the time. Having a collectivist squeeze at the time who laughed at every obvious example of their hypocrisy merely confirmed it.
Nobody but me …
Nobody but me …
Indeed Crossie – I’ve got two CDs of the songs used in that series.
Two classical/modern adagios that have featured in films with great effect:
Abinoni’s/Giazzoto’s (Adagio in G minor) in Gallipoli
Samuel Barber’s in Platoon
Yes, the Big Chill was one of those movies where I really wanted to like the characters…maybe a couple of characters…maybe one.
No wonder their “best mate” topped himself. Dramatic, but understandable.
Slightly off the beaten track…Troy Kennedy Martin.
Kelly’s Heroes – Burning Bridges
Edge of Darkness theme – Eric Clapton
Both visual feasts. I mean the BBC teleseries not the Mel Gibson movie.
calli – the only character I had any sympathy for was the one played by William Hurt.
“He looks like one of our grate American drug dealers, I tells ya”
The movie The Stud had a huge soundtrack with the song below being on it. I have never seen the movie so don’t know the context.
Sorry, I’m A Lady.
err, Bruce – that would make them “Televisual Feasts”, thanks Squire.
Li’l known factlet: The dead wally in The Big Chill was “played”* by Kevni Costner, whose scenes all ended up on the cutting room floor – except for the tan rayon flares being tucked into the coffin in the early scenes.
*In quite possibly his most “beautifullee yakted” role.
OK.
You aksked for it.
Here it is.
That’s nice Rabz !
Doris Day introduced it in the Alfred Hitchcock film The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956).
Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)
On the Road, a film by Mikey Winterbottomage …
Rabz – Do please keep up. How can you insult the great Clint Eastwood like that? Kelly’s Heroes is a fun caper movie.
Have to do this one or Calli will be cross.
ACDC – Thunderstruck featuring BB 63
Fine fillum!
And there is this one for Googlery and his mum.
err, wasn’t aware that I had, Squire 😕
Has to be THE disaster flick. Was awesome on the big screen.
I know Bond has been mentioned, but Roger Moore does have a special place at the Cat. And who could go past the luminous Jane Seymour?
Paul McCartney & Wings – Live and Let Die
Fine car chase too. Ok bus. And a Cessna. And motorbikes. Rocks. And a low bridge.
The Conformist
Bolero
Liquid Sky
Memo from Turner (Traffic. Allegedly)
The song playing in a movie in my mind where a certain woman and myself realise that we will never be together … 🙁
Thank goodness I was wearing the Soviet Grey Levi’s jacket at the time.
Eric – wonderful stuff.
Last of the Mohicans soundtrack by Trevor Jones.
Plus most movie scenes with helicopters and good music. For example Gary Owen from We Were Soldiers when the Hueys set off.
Arks will be less than gruntled to have aurally witnessed such heresy.
Jet … 🙂
Just been listening to that. Superb atmospheric music.
The Last of the Mohicans – Intro Scene
Was having trouble getting a video of the movie to work due to geoblocking. So this might not work for some Cats.
Wicked opening prologue from an underrated fillum-
The Anvil of Crom
Arguably ripped off for Total Recall and Terminator 2. I remember front row small town cinemar for Total Recall, which we were underage by a good margin, watching the firey titles bleed and the music rain down on the audience…
If we’re talking OST FMCGs, the cassette soundtrack to 1969 went round and round in dual deck for years, rounded out by a Pretenders version of Bacharach n David’s Windows of the World, which I thought was a bum note at the time, bookending some ripper gritty swamp 60’s choons.
I saw The Poseidon Adventure in the cinema and it was quite “breathless” at times. That movie was in the middle of a run of disaster movies started off by Airport, followed by several more Airports and through to The Towering Inferno. I must admit, I love disaster movies.
Mustn’t forget the old Looney Tunes cartoons, great use of classical music, my favourite is the Three Little Pigs with Brahms’ Hungarian Rhapsody.
And that reminds me … Fantasia, Amadeus and Hanging at Picnic Rock .
B.J. Thomas singing a song by the utterly brilliant Burt Bacharach. Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VyA2f6hGW4
Who is the Burt Bacharach of the 21st century? There isn’t one.
I loved the poor camel. And James Earl Jones turning into a snake was rather fun. What’s best in life!
This has got to be one of the best Tarantino scenes. Violent but.
Stuck In The Middle With You – Stealers Wheel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIMg2Xw4_8s
Very clever spoonerism.
Sibelius for cats…
Allegro Non Troppo (1977) – ‘Cat Scene’
jupes – thankfully, a lot of the twenty first century is ahead of us.
Pity we won’t be here to witness it … 😕
Cant go past Toto in the original Dune movie.
Hush …
Hopefully we’ll get half way!

You just have to love the scenes where Cliff is driving around Hollyweird like a Japanese dentist.
In 1960 at The Forum theatre in George St, Sydney I saw Porgy and Bess and was blown away. Unforgettable.
I therefore put forward here
Porgy And Bess Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1959)
Tracklist
Overture
Summertime
A Woman Is A Sometime Thing
The Wake:
Gone, Gone, Gone
Porgy’s Prayer
–
My Man’s Gone Now
I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’
Bess, You Is My Woman Now
Morning
Catfish Row
I Can’t Sit Down
It Ain’t Necessarily So
I Ain’t Got No Shame
What You Want With Bess?

A Red-Headed Woman
Clara, Clara
There’s A Boat That’s Leavin’ Soon For New York
Oh, Where’s My Bess?
I’m On My Way
Mia and Vincent experience a “regrettable incident” …
Don’t forget about Hitchcock’s The Birds. Can’t link on my phone.
The Tarantino is a Bower Boid.
I loved the whole movie. Best Tarantino movie and best movie of the last five years in my humble opinion.
I saw Porgy and Bess as a young kid. Even now it is still memorable.
Birds? Someone mention birds?
Guardian – “Miss Peregrine’s”
I’d put up Casino Royale too, except I’ve reached my Bond limit.
From Wiki:
Bacharach composed and arranged the soundtrack of the 1967 film Casino Royale, which included “The Look of Love”, performed by Dusty Springfield, and the title song, an instrumental Top 40 single for Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
Looking through people’s selections there are not many I haven’t seen and heard.
How could you not do the Nastassja Kinski version Rabz? Sheesh.
OK, Pancho – so you presumably noticed that Cliff was partial to White Levi’s Jackets?
All this garbage about those cultural garments being favoured by men who aren’t into women is just bollocks.
Not having it, etc. There are few garments on this planet cooler than White Levi’s Jackets, with the possible exception of White Leather adidas boxing boots.
Goils love them and want to wear them, which is just not allowed.
If that makes me some rampant flamer spook, then so be it. 😕
BoN I love Miss Peregrine. Well Eva Green. I wanted her to come home with me but she didn’t want to and my wife wouldn’t have let me keep her.
Pretty much anything by Hans Zimmer.
Any room for a TV theme that becomes a hit?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je2fGzKiqRM
Have to be fair and do one for her dad too.
Fitzcarraldo – Gramophone scene
Klaus Kinski was an amazing actor.
Shirley Bassey.
All that needs to be said about Bond songs.
I nominate the Days of Thunder soundtrack.
Mostly great songs but especially fond of this:
David Coverdale – The Last Note of Freedom
Great ups and downs.
Space dancing
Blah – another misunderstanding …
How have I forgotten Queen?
Highlander – A Kind of Magic – Queen (1986)
Queen – Flash Gordon (1980)
Loved both movies. Cheesy. The actors were obviously having a lot of fun.
Ry Cooder’s soundtrack in Paris Texas.
Intro – Paris, Texas
Awesome.
I think most of mine are scene scores.
Just about anything Morricone. The mission is a tearjerker, and all the westerns (in particular “Once Upon a Time” and Jills Theme)
Malena is another.
The English Patient with the Hungarian folk tunes was great – but I was hooked on Hector Zazou’s ‘new Corsican polyphony’ when younger, so that may have influenced my thoughts a little.
Zimmer’s Interstellar is full of great stuff. Docking Scene
An exception to the above is Guardians of the Galaxy – it even uses a walkman for a plot device.
Bloody hell,
how could one forget Knopfler’s masterpiece, Local Hero
she was a bit rough in The Salvation.
Liked Local Hero at the flicks, was a nice little movie and I bought the soundtrack on cassette afterwards. Good pick!
A modern opera.
The bad guy has a theme, so does the good guy.
There’s capes, swords and damsels in distress; court jesters (C3PO, R2D2).
What’s not to love?
LOL – I’d never thought of them in that role (until now). Lucas described them as “impartial observers” of the mighty events they inadvertently blundered into.
Paperback Writer …
Sacré bleu – they were the best. Note the almost imperceptible growl on the guitars, the harmonies, the haircuts (which will never be bested) the clarity of the recording and the pure pop they’re purveying.
Thankfully, all recorded on film.
Magnifique.
You idiots.
How can you have a movie music thread and no one mentions Vanishing Point?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuAAZYf3qIE
And:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_6eurPy1Y4
Because we’ve been waiting for you to blunder on here and trumpet it, Squire.
Arks – I am familiar with the legend of Vanishing Point, both the film and the album.
FFS, I’ve been posting on this blogue about my love of the album for many moons, squire.
You know this – stop being a curmudgeon for the sake of it.
High noon.

The studio version 🙂
Arks – I’ve still not seen the film, Squire. The Album did however alert me to the possibility that there may have been some inspiration from a certain unknown source.

Check out the new German movie version of All Quiet on the Western Front. Some great, sinister music by a German composer who goes by the name Hauschka. It’s on Netflix now.
Never on Sunday
Haha. Everyone in Victoria over 40 knows that as the theme for the Coodabeen Champions.
Haha. Everyone in Victoria over 40 knows that as the theme for the Coodabeen Champions.
I’m a little disappointed in Cat pedants. The Birds didn’t have a musical soundtrack. I expect better. Not very often does one not get picked up on minor details. Lift your collective game please.
Petros – I’m keen to see it, just trying to reserve the necessary over two hours needed to watch it.
Forrest Gump soundtrack.
I don’t reckon a soundtrack made up of songs should be referred to as a soundtrack. First and foremost it’s a marketing angle. I mean, a Vietnam movie is really just a two-hour or so advertisement for the merch CD. Sure, some movies make good use of songs – Tarantino’s songs selections are often excellent – but in the main it has become a cynical ploy.
A soundtrack to me is a Morricone, Schifrin, Barry, Williams, various Newmans, Steiner, etc accompaniment to or enhancement of the action on the screen, not a Greatest Hits of the 80s CD.

The panorama of the magnificent seven, the urban hopscotch of Scott Joplin s music in the sting.
With ya Tony Taylor.
Really enjoyed the analysis from Roger of John Williams music.
Does any one remember Blow Out” the uk film from the late 60s
I’ve just been listening to
True Grit (2010) – Full soundtrack (Carter Burwell)
Watched Back To The Future with the kid last night.
It too featured a Sony Walkman as a plot device, but you don’t see me getting all David Stratton hoity toity about the observation. All in all it was kinda lost in a subconscious sea of flashing promo spots, inc Pepsi, JC Penny, GMC.
…Waffle time….
I’ve got no qualms about a movie producing an OST as an FMCG. Any amount of frinstance Spielberg films have an ostentatios lyric pop soundtrack, both to hook you in to the illusion (I reckon it fills up the viewer’s internal monologue which would otherwise be constantly verballising with “sheesh girls were skinny back then”, and to jog the memory outside the cinema when digesting the story sometimes for decades afterwards.
It’s a first world wank to say “it’s the job of film maker’s art to always produce a highly polished symphonic soundtrack for figurative purposes foremost”. I bristle at all of those “it’s a cartoonist’s job to constantly belittle the ruling faction of the time… it’s an artist’s job to publicly self-abuse their way through a lifelong mental breakdown…”
No it’s flippin not anyone’s job to fill my expectations or act as a cypher it some static cultural stand-off. It’s a cartoonist’s job to earn a living, they usually do it by winning eyeballs, syndication, publication, and over their time they sharpen their craft and keep their wits about them too. It’s a (visual) artist’s job to earn a living, in the good ol’ days they usually did by winning commissions and market sales, now it’s been corrupted by the Ministry of Art which commands marquee merde-heaps on a market-failure model.
And it’s a film-maker’s job to earn a living.
Again, the Ministry of Art has corrupted the cultural conversation, particularly in a one-horse town like Australia where an entirely subsidized production line feeds into a loss-making main street cinema festival parade and a largely predictable awards system.
Think of any film which was feted as the new golden age of Australians Want To See Their Stories Reflected Back At Them On The Big Screen And This Actorx-Filmakerx-Soundtrack Is Taking It All The Way To Venice.
Priscilla- unwatchable high camp, will only be re-screened for Pride Month- soundtrack was kinda successful from a nostalgia ticket
Samson And Delilah- critical masterpiece, reality unwatchable misery, will not be re-screened evah- soundtrack of buzzing flies iirc
The Proposal- wannabe western, cardboard sets and scenery-eating overacting- will not be re-screened- a solid year-long pre-release campaign of how the soundtrack was being scored by Warren Eliss and Nick Cave omg omg they’re so alternative- in reality, the sountrack was an embarrasingly jarring parade of racket which switched on and off again like an air horn, an absolute failure of illusion-wrecking wank even before Cave muttered some cod-biblical crap lyrics while a dusty horseman galloped a dusty horse over some dusty dust. If anyone bought the soundtrack, they’d have to be a Cave-Ellis completeist. Will not be re-screened.
Somersault- watchable only for the floorshow- again pre-emptively promoted for the amaaaaazing dahling soundtrack by Decoder Ring, in reality a bad flop of bloopy beeps, again so jarringly on-and-off again that it makes you wonder how the film-maker harvested so much Ministry of Art film commission money when it would seem they skipped the classes where they practice being smooth on the audio track sliders… oh, it’s cos They was a She. Will only be re-screened by boys with their fingers on the pause button.
…
Good films transcend their medium. Look at Star Wars. All the things the critics adore, like a good story, good craft, good tech, and an acclaimed Wagnerian soundtrack which has a life beyond its genesis (remember the Dutch trumpeter giving the batflu gendarmerie a bit of Vader’s leitmotif?)-
and all the things the punters love, like furry toys and a widely distributed OST which got played so much it wore out the grooves, and nudged the fans back into re-watching the film.
Celebrating good soundtracks is of a piece with celebrating good actors. Yeah, you might have seen the face in dozens of features and heard the tune a thousand times, but if the illusion is woven, why whinge about it being “commercial” or “mercantile”?
Or, “ooh ew it’s not True Art, it’s a just marketing ploy”. Fuck that Ministry Of Art lordy lordy condescention, that’s what gives kudos to producers like Warwick Thornton, miserable mavens of failure.
We should be celebrating films, no matter where they come from or go to, which are popular with the teenage consumers of tickets, jaffas, toys and records. In a lot of ways, they’re the best of capitalism and commercialism, and crowning glory of the film-makers art.
Louis-
Blow Up ?
Got the title track single, source for Dee-Lite’s Groove Is In The Heart. Fillum featured early Yardbirds and Jimmy Page cameo.
Typical. Youse eastern staters are all in bed before I catch on, pour my heart out to an empty room the next morning.
*sniff*
Diogenes:
Loony Tunes?
They made an epic Bugs Bunny episode called : “What’s Opera, Doc”. You will never un-hear / un-see it .
https://vimeo.com/444002896
BB – I’ve never seen the Gump, but that is one awesome soundtrack.
The Doors get two spots – here’s quite possibly their most beautiful song.
err, no, Squire – care to link a film clip of this legendary galactic event?
The best theme (and scenes) in Star Wars were when poor li’l Leia had to fight her way out of the Jabba’s slimy clutches, while clad in a post futurist bikini before shortly rescuing the man she loved.
Magnificent stuff. 🙂
Along with Jon Snow* and Ygritte, Han and Leia is one of the greatest love stories in human history.
Feel free to nominate some others, Cats.
*Knowing nothing as he is.
“Got no idea of provenance, but here ’tis Rabz
Murron’s theme, from Braveheart, which is a proper fillum, you bingestreaming oik Rabz
Tho Rose Leslie is a tidy ginge… good love story, in that like much of GoT it all goes to shite sooner or later
Wallie – I’m not having it, Squire. She’s a conservative.
Craig Armstrong composed the three love themes that tie together the main strands of “Love, Actually” … probably my favourite movie.
Immediately reminds me of the music in Ken Burns’ The Civil War series.
I haven’t watched the new version of True Grit, only the John Wayne one.
This guy needs to do a soundtrack.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RySHDUU2juM
it’s worth a look-see. I reckon better than the Bruce Wayne version.
The Bruce Wayne version stars Adam Western.
