Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | The Graduate. 1968. Simon and Garfunkle. Best selling album of the Year. Knowing this enabled me to win a contest on a radio call-in show 25 years ago. Another that really grew on me when I was studying Civil War leadership models is the soundtrack to Ted Turner's Gettysburg. |

Location: Wichita, KS | I'm not a big fan of movie soundtracks and only have a handful in my CD collection. My top three would be (in no particular order):
American Beauty
Monster
Midnight Express
Of those, only Midnight Express has any vocals. All three feature compositions that are rather far out, but I think they are still highly listenable. |

Location: Montana | Yes, I love The Commitments, I just found out that was the first move of a "trilogy". I'm not sure how the others are related except they have the same lead actor. The Snapper and The Van are the other two.
Best soundtrack from an unheard of movie - music from Cal by Mark Knopfler. I've not been able to find the movie anywhere but a friend gave me the soundtrack and it's great. |
