All Wes Anderson’s films have amazing soundtracks. The detail is amazing.
Rocky Horror Picture Show. To both listen to and act out!
thanks ghost....very nice!! I'd forgotten about McGuinn's 12 string work. Nice memories. That movie came out just as I was going into the Army and was headed to Ft. Campbell, KY. Had never been anywhere near the South before. I had a LOT to learn.
Dazed and Confused also has a great soundtrack.they actually released two CDs worth of music when it came out
Never got that movie
You ain’t the only one.
I get why it has a cult following. It was creative and unconventionally brave at a time when most movies were not. It also has a good soundtrack.
Grew up with it, during the 10 years after it's release there was always a theater that played it on the weekends and I truly believe that what went on during those showings were the foundation of what would become Dragon Con etc. Half the crowd would be in costume and everyone would sing along to every song. One of those things that you had to see to appreciate. If I never saw it till say 1990 I would be underwhelmed.
That movie comes closest to what it was like to be a teenager in my small Georgia town circa mid-70s. One big difference being our parties in the woods were all white, just being truthful.
Not sure what is dragon con…is that like that game dungeons and dragon thing?
Vision Quest.
Album is great top to bottom. Terrific lineup too. RJD, Henley, Hagar, Journey. Even a little known artist named Madonna got the soundtrack a #1 hit.
But it's Lunatic Fringe playing while Loudoun Swain warms up before the big match that gets me every time. Not sure that scene can be topped when the song's intro is playing.
Comic book convention where all the nerds dress up.
Back in my day nerds had shame!!
Don’t know anything about that, but that’s cool they have a thing to hang with people who are into comic books and stuff.
Some dressed as characters in the movie, many threw rice at the wedding and used other props. I never went but the cult like following lasted far longer than 10 years. It probably peaked in the mid-80s.
Good call.
Full disclosure: I'm a Dragon Con veteran. Attended DC3 in 1989 at the Omni Hotel.
And since we're on the topic, the awesome animated fantasy film Heavy Metal (1981) deserves a mention in this thread.
It's where all the GaTech folks always were opening weekend of football season. In Atlanta before Covid it was typically the same weekend of the start of the football season. The week long event started off with a parade thru downtown.
Surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but the scores for Star Wars, ET, Indiana Jones, and Superman were all similar and epic. Many of us grew up with that cinematic movie experience.
Forrest Gump & Almost Famous were my top answers.
Superbad has a good soundtrack too.
I mentioned John Williams who did most of those.
