We just recently watched for the 4th or 5th time two great movies.
No.1........The Dirty Dozen.
No.2........Kelly's Heroes.
It is the music in the Kelly's Heroes movie that makes it such a great movie.

Many other movies also have some great soundtracks.

The one that gets me is Slaughter on 12th Avenue - West Side Story runs a good 2nd. For a movie with no words and only music it would have to be City Light by Charles Chaplin.
I'm always fascinated how music can make or break a movie.

Over the Easter week end we drove 500km to Kanyacka ruins in the Flinders Ranges where there was an out door screening amongst the ruins of the musical version of War of the Worlds. Beanies, gloves, warm cloths and a bottle of Stones Original Green Ginger Wine. Then spent the night in the car park. What a treat!
Peter, I'm quite envious! And thanks for the great picture.

Thanks Santa, played it straight away. First heard it in the early 60's when a mates' old man lent me a 78 with it on - said listen to this, real music not like that rock and roll rubbish.
I find it strange how melodies speak a language to ones' inner soul....it's like we speak and listen to words but music is another language that real gets you to the marrow.

Perhaps the best TV series ever made; Edge of Darkness:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090424/
Music written by Eric Clapton.
My ex partner is a classical musician and she had to stop watching the series because she found the music too emotionally powerfully when combined with Bob Peck's grief.
Best music for a a film? No contest: Easy Rider.

'Paint Your Wagon' with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood was an interesting movie with a couple of interesteing voices.
The list is many and too many really but some great sound tracks in Super Heros and Science Fiction Movies.

Whitney Houston's voice from the Bodyguard is unbelievable, Mike Oldfields eerie Tubular Bells piano melody sets the mood in the Exorcist and the Last Of The Mohicans soundtrack is a real favourite of mine. Over the years we have also enjoyed going to live stage shows to see musical productions such as Reg Livermore's Rocky Horror Show or Betty Blockbuster Follies, The Buddy Holly Story, Hair , Jesus Christ Superstar. etc. etc. I guess everyone has their own personal taste in music and the way that they like to listen to it ...... it is one of the real pleasures in life..

Hi, The Dirty Dozen, Kelly's Heroes and many others mentioned by members here I enjoyed. I fell in love with Donald Sutherland after seeing him play the part of oddball in Kellys Heroes and how proud he was of his tank lol. And Tim Currys singing and performance in The Rocky Horror Picture Show was awesome. I give a huge tick to all the other movies mentioned by all other members....Kisha.
