Re: Movies with great music in them

Many of my favorites have already been mentioned.  I'll add The Mission.  Ennio Morricone is a genius when it comes to movie scores.

[ Edited ]

Took a Poll!  Seems most of the folks in my family love the music from:

 

Dirty Dancing

Footloose

Notting Hill 

 Brigadoon

Gone With the Wind

The Glenn Miller Story

The Quiet Man

and so many others, including any "Irish" movie

 

Came back to add Sabrina. One of my favorite movies and music. Love the second coming of this movie w/Harrison Ford.

Grease, Bye Bye Birdie and The Music Man. Dirty Dancing ranks right up there too.

Also remember the movies about how music got made.  Love MUSCLE SHOALS, DREAMGIRLS, TWENTY FEET FROM STARDOM.

 

If you haven't seen these movies, you're in for a treat.  I watched them on Apple TV.  Fantastic music and stories.

 

Great thread, thanks for starting this!  LM

I discovered Toni Childs in the movie Moonlight and Valentino. I had to track down all her music after that. Great movie btw.

 

She has a very unique voice.
