Unforgettable film soundtracks

Articleby Selena McCubbin

Have you always get home from the film and in discussing the film heard the phrase, "The picture was great, shame about the soundtrack though_"? An original score can be the qualification of a film and is as crucial a portion of cinematography as the way and acting itself.

A call can go a huge hit on the second of a picture and artist recognition can sky-rocket if it is played over a box-office smash. With so many classic movie-music moments it is difficult to pick, so let`s go back through some of the most memorable movie soundtracks of all time:
Saturday Night Fever (1977) starring John Travolta and a couple of very tight, very white flairs is an incredible soundtrack moment. Disco sensations the Bee Gees sang "Stayin` Alive" and forevermore encapsulated the disco era.
Superfly (1972) was a funky, super fresh Curtis Mayfield soul sensation and was far more illustrious than the movie itself. With songs like `Freddie`s Dead` and `Pusherman` the interior city drugs culture was taken aside and granted a new sound.
The Graduate (1967) welcomed duo Simon and Garfunkel on the prospect to add a memorable backdrop to the seductive drama starring Dustin Hoffman as the love interest of Mrs Robinson. With classic hit songs such as `The Voice of Quiet` and `Scarborough Fair`, the mix of old and new hits became an instant classic.
Purple Rain (1984) catapulted serial groove king and petite pin up Prince to movie stardom when his Purple Rain soundtrack blew everyone away. Critics praised it as a run of genius, with incredible tracks such as `When Doves Cry` and `Let`s Go Crazy`.
Philadelphia (1993) delivered an Oscar-winning performance from Tom Hanks who played a lawyer suffering discrimination when he is dismissed for having AIDS.
Music can completely alter the look of a movie or add emotion to important scenes. Whether you`re an Elvis fan listening to a film soundtrack in your Memphis office or a Bollywood nut grooving in the streets of New Delhi, music has the ability to strike us and never more so than when joined with our favourite films.
