The '80s film, 'Trick Or Treat' had a banging soundtrack! I believe the band was Fastway. 'Boogie Nights' and 'Angus' are great too.

Oh man we must have grown up same time period. Planet of the Apes I saw it at a drive in as a kid. Tracked down the soundtrack about five years ago. Saw all the series. Spencer Davis/Traffic here we go around the mulberry bush. Edgy movie for its time. Songs on the soundtrack are unique to it I think? Blow. Up soundtrack featuring Herbie Hancock and my Yardbirds doing stroll on with Beck and Page! Revolution featuring Quicksilver Messenger Service, Steve Miller Blues band! Good stuff. Up the junction film soundtrack! Love Percy!

The Harder They Come is a great Reggae introduction. Less well known is the soundtrack to Rockers from a couple years later. 5. Monterey Pop 6. Guilty pleasure: Flashdance 7. 200 Motels - Zappa

Hi Tom. Love your channel. Your knowledge and recall is amazing. I've learned so much listening to you. Many, many thanks. There are a ton of film soundtracks that I have and love. Here are some: Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid; Staying Alive; Help; A Hard Day's Night; Concert For Bangla Desh; A Film About Jimi Hendrix; Rainbow Bridge; The Graduate; Almost Famous; Chariots Of Fire; The Big Chill; Vanilla Sky; West Side Story; Barry Lyndon; Jerry Maguire; 2001 A Space odyssey...I could go on but these are ones that every record collector should have in their collection. Can't wait for your next installment. Peace!

"Stevie Wonder's Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants" (1979)... At the height of his career, a soundtrack to a science documentary! Reviews were mixed, tending negative, but for me, one of the sweetest double albums ever... I was taking Plant Physiology as a post-grad at a public university at the time...

Blow-Up is an interesting movie, especially if you like swinging London, mysteries, and conspiracies. Warning: contains mimes. Baby Doll was a scandalous movie based on a one-act play by Tennessee Williams. Great sleaze -- I'd like to see it remade by John Waters.

Harold and Maude Hal Ashby / Cat Stevens pure genius and song / scene Trouble makes me cry every time 2. The Harder They Come Amazing movie starring Jimmy Cliff . This is one of greatest collections of songs of all time 3. Hedwig and the Angry Inch Glam rock revisited 4. Time Square Pretty lame movie but great soundtrack compiled by Robert Stigwood ; Dead Dog did later get great cover by Manic Street Preachers 5. Betty Blue : music by Gabriel Yared Who hasn’t gone though their french movie period ; i was torn between this and Diva

1. Heartworn Highways (various artists) - from the iconic documentary about the 1970s outlaw country / singer-songwriter scene 2. All You Need Is Cash (The Rutles). Sounded so much like The Beatles that The Beatles sued and won co-writer credits 3. Live Stiffs (various artists including Elvis Costello, Ian Dury, Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Wreckless Eric and more) - from the documentary about one of the most influential, and most eccentric, traveling rock and roll circuses ever assembled. 4. No Direction Home, because there has to be a Dylan soundtrack, and I'm not crazy about Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid

I can't find any articles to back this up but if my memory is correct and that's questionable, some of the performances in the Woodstock documentary were dubbed. In 1969, I read an article that CS&N weren't pleased with the sound on Suite: Judy Blue Eyes and they corrected it by playing over some parts in post production. I've looked closely at the Santana performance and there are moments where Carlos' playing on Soul Sacrifice doesn't match what is seen in the video. I'm not trying to create a dark cloud over the festival, even though the documentary did usher in the demise of the counterculture, the festival itself was a watershed moment. I'm fine with anyone who can correct me.

I have heard the same, especially in regard to CSN and Jefferson Airplane. That album was in constant play when it came out because I didn't have too many others, so I loved it regardless. Found out later how many bands were missing because of half-assed performances or money disputes.

Ough, I am so mad. Got through about 2/3 of a long comment on this post, and made a tapping mistake that deleted what I was writing. Oh well. Dead right, Tom, about these. I have a few more, some already mentioned by other subscribers. They may be worth repeating. Repo Man -- omg yes. I saw the movie at a hole-in-the-wall theater when it was released, went apeshit over the opening credit instrumental theme, and was disappointed when the soundtrack was released with an opening credit theme overdubbed with a vocal by Iggy Pop. I mean, OK, but I wanted the original! It took two decades, but I got what I wanted when a computer and DVD allowed me to rip the theme without the vocal. The Harder They Come -- 'Nuff said. Classic easy listening reggae. Instantly recognized by the critics of the day. Great midnight movie and art house feature. The Song Remains The Same -- I don't even like Led Zeppelin all that much, and I would do it again. The Last Waltz and Fillmore: The Last Days..... oh so flawed, but oh so interesting. I listened to both, simulcast on the radio in San Francisco, but these are nice souvenirs. X The Band The Unheard Music -- my favorite rock documentary. Never had an official soundtrack that I know of, so I bought the DVD. Parts are available on a Rhino two-CD anthology. Guys And Dolls -- my token old school movie musical. Absolute Beginners -- this one has it all, David Bowie, Slim Gaillard, Ray Davies, Gil Evans, Charles Mingus, jazz & pop.....all in the milieu of late-'50s England. That's what I got for now. There's oh so much more.
