I loved this film growing up…Dustin Hoffman was inspired & Steve McQueen was always ‘cool’. I assume it was rated ‘M’ & I was younger, so that was likely an instant bonus for me!!

Oh…checking the net out for a review…I see a remake 2017. I had no idea, guess that shows how much I pay attention to modern movies. (I eventually catch up with the ‘good’ ones. :rofl:)

Laurel Halo
Possessed (2020)
This isn’t a techno/electronica album like some of her other work, other than the first track . It received fairly mixed reviews, the most glowing likely 8/10 from Mojo. It largely differs from her previous work, likely closet to Raw Silk. It’s rather minimal & austere in feeling, meant to deliver a discomfort associated with the subject matter.

Sept 2020 I posted Vampyros Lesbos by
Manfred Hubler & Siegried Schwab

Here is 3 Films By Jess Franco that includes the above. I think the films are all '70-'71. So, the overall vibe of the album is that kitsch '60’s psych & lounge. It’s actually a good album for the style, although perhaps it gets a bit tedious getting through the entire album. Or it would make an ideal album for a swinging 60’s party or practicing Kama Sutra. :rofl:

Sometimes you just want over 4hrs of:

John Barry
The Collection - 40 Years of Films (2001)

As per review this 4 disc set skips some of his lessor known works, which for most is likely fine. So, I’d consider this more like a best of, rather a fully comprehensive collection.

Edit:
I should add that these are all ‘new’ recordings played by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra & conducted by Nic Raine.

I often say that and I own all of those :grin:
But I only have about 70 soundtracks in my library. I’m sure I could do better :thinking:

These two I’m posting together as they both feel to me to be era derivative.

As these films were somewhat of a parody, so too does the soundtrack.

John Harrison
Day of the Dead (1985)
This sounds like either much of what you loved about 80’s music or conversely disliked.

Assassination Tango (2003)
Directed, produced & starring Robert Duvall.

It’s various, but roughly 50% is Luis Bacalov & then an assortment of mostly older tango tracks.

The story is heartbreaking. Have those tissues ready if you watch it.

Superb - gotta love some Angelo Badalamenti. :sunglasses:

And the above look very interesting @CoralRad can’t say I’ve even heard of Jacques Demy.

Claudio Gizzi
Flesh For Frankenstein (1973) Blood For Dracula (1974)
Films by Andy Warhol.

Blood For Dracula
I think this theme and associated melody is rather exquisite!

Lost in Translation (2003)
Various Artists.

It’s a bit of an alterative/indie soundtrack with 1/3 of the 15 tracks Kevin Shields & all in all is a solid album!

Angelo Badalamenti
The City of Lost Children (1996)

Yup, as per review, not you stereotypical Badalamenti & it is rather gloomy. I think 3/5 is fair, but it’s not a terrible album at all, with some full orchestration provided by The Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
