Dirty Dancing: Original Soundtrack From The Vestron Motion Picture
(more) »rank: 1255by: Various Artists
: :If film and music fans sometimes wonder why soundtracks are often little more than pastiches of past pop hits and chart flavors of the moment, it's largely due to the blockbuster success of releases like this collection from 1987's surprise Patrcik Swayze/Jennifer Grey romantic hit. The film's retro-romantic concerns came shrewdly wrapped in a (largely manufactured) dance craze conceit tailor-made for such pop chestnuts as the Ronettes' 'Be My Baby,' the Zodiacs' 'Stay,' and the Five Satins' 'In the Still of the Night.' Mickey and Sylvia once again argued that ...

Gladiator
(more) »rank: 645from: Decca U.S.
: :Most modern Hollywood films have musical 'temp tracks' laid in as they're edited, usually classical standards or music from other soundtracks that helps shape the dramatic and emotional intentions of works in progress. Sometimes these temp tracks become the score (as in '2001'), but more often they serve as a template for the film's eventual scorer. That said, we'll boldly climb out on a limb and opine that director Ridley Scott was listening to a whole lot of Holst's The Planets as he was cobbling together his modern gladiator epic. ...

Highlights From The Phantom Of The Opera: The Original London Cast Recording (1986 London Cast)

: :No Description AvailableNo Track Information AvailableMedia Type: CDArtist: PHANTOM OF THE OPERATitle: ORIGINAL CASTStreet Release Date: 10/10/1988DomesticGenre: CAST RECORDINGS :Highlight versions of cast recordings are by definition a compromise, and this reduction of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera is no exception. Weighing in at 59 minutes, it's over 40 minutes shorter than the two-disc version, excising many musical scenes that convey the flow and impact of the show (which include, admittedly, a lot of patter and screaming). On the other hand, all the hits are here--'Think of ...

Shrek - Music From the Original Motion Picture
(more) »rank: 1096by: Various Artists - Soundtrack
: :Like The Muppet Show or The Simpsons, Shrek is tiered with visual appeal, fantasy, and sophisticated humor that appeals to children and adults on two mutually exclusive levels. Judging by the soundtrack alone, there is some genuine emotion coming from this movie; Rufus Wainwright, the Proclaimers, and especially the Eels all pen winsome, longing tunes. Dana Glover's 'It Is You (I Have Loved)' represents the soundtrack's requisite glossy ballad, but it's better than most, and John Powell's climactic, orchestral 'True Love's First Kiss' makes one wish there was a full ...

The Big Lebowski: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
(more) »rank: 3191from: Gramercy Pictures
: :One of the most inspired cobbled-together-from-a-stack-of-records soundtrack albums since Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski matches the goofily ramshackle spirit of the Dude, the hero of its celluloid companion. While offering Bob Dylan's luv-addled 'Man in Me' together with the Gipsy Kings' redefinitive 'Hotel California' and the psychedelic-era Kenny Rogers nugget 'Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In),' Lebowski also gives longer play to some cuts barely sampled in the film, including Elvis Costello's 'My Mood Swings.' Whether taken as a Coen brothers mix tape, a one-album ...

Obscured by Clouds
(more) »rank: 2406from: Capitol
: :Commissioned as the soundtrack for Barbet Schroeder's 1972 film The Valley, Obscured By Clouds actually holds up rather well on its own terms. The title track is a trippy, cinematic instrumental that features some searing guitar work from David Gilmour, but full-fledged songs like 'Free Four' (which sounds like a morbid inversion of Norman Greenbaum's 'Spirit in the Sky'), and the folksy 'Wot's...Uh the Deal' are the real highlights of the set. Essentially a transitional work, Obscured By Clouds has long been dwarfed by Dark Side of the Moon, the ...

:Album Description:Out of print in the U.S.! Soundtrack to the 1992 Disney film, an homage to the classic movie musicals of the '40s and '50s. This film marked the directorial debut of choreographer Kenny Ortega who also directed Dirty Dancing and High School Musical and featured the music of composer Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Enchanted). 16 tracks. EMI Gold. :Arguably one of the oddest films to emerge from the modern Disney Entertainment empire, this scrappy 1992 live-action musical tells the tale of a turn-of-the-last-century ...
