- Forrest Gump. what would this movie be without the music?! All the classic songs from the time periods Forrest goes through are perfect; it's one of the best transitions because everyone can recognize the general themes of those songs and put them to a decade or revolution/movement. The classical music score also, (by alan silvestri(sp?)) adds to the feeling of the movie. Listening or playing through it can give you the mood of the w
hole movie in less than 10 minutes. Brilliant.- The Land Before Time. "As we hold on together" ... need I say more? This movie can make me cry EVERY single time I watch it just because of that one song. The song comes up whenever the director (?) wants you to feel that sorrow and it really works.
- Signs. I don't care what you think about the director, Mr. Klobuchar, this movies' soundtrack is very effective. When watching the movie, if you are uncertain of when to be scared or anxious or nervous, the music helps you out quite a bit. At any and every mood change the music is the initiator.
- Titanic. I find it so amazing that if you listen to the musical score to this movie you can go through the whole story without needing the visuals. You know the music is good when you don't even need anything to go with it. (don't get me wrong though, I love the movie)
In conclusion,
I love music. Movies can only get my complete attention if they have good music. I suggest to you all to go see Immortal Beloved. now. (even roger ebert appreciates it! and compares it to citizen kane!)
