(11,810 posts)...almost. I'm still going with Repo Man, but yes, that is indeed an amazing sound track.

(23,102 posts)So enjoyed hearing Sammy belt this out, he always rocks so hard!!
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)Even his work with Montrose was amazing, and I think he was barely out of high school when they made their first album.
I just listened to the Heavy Metal soundtrack the other day. It still sounds fantastic. It's like a mini-museum of all that was good about rock in the early '80s.

A favorite soundtrack is Koyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass.

Tangerine Dream's soundtrack for the James Caan movie, "Thief".
The soundtrack is stunningly good.
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)And the movie was also fantastic. It had great acting, an intense story, and INCREDIBLE cinematography. The night photography is especially amazing. Watching TV shows like CSI or Person of Interest, both of which have gorgeous nighttime camera work, you can certainly see how that movie was an inspiration.
ProfessorGAC
(65,057 posts)And the involvement with Tuesday Wells was just terrific.
And, Jim Belushi in a very serious role. And that ending. . .
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)That's how amazing that movie is.
It really is on the short list of "movies you probably never heard about but really must see".
ProfessorGAC
(65,057 posts)And back to square one, that soundtrack is amazing.
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)They know how to set up, and resolve, a tense mood in a film. They do this perfectly in Thief. They also provided the soundtrack to the movie Sorcerer, and that's another soundtrack that should be on this list.
ProfessorGAC
(65,057 posts)I would never have brought that up. But, you're 100% correct. Intense movie with a great soundtrack.

An hour of Paul Simon's music as a film soundtrack? What more could one want?
