John Barry's Zulu please.
If it's a miracle, Colour Sergeant, it's a short chamber Boxer Henry point 45 caliber miracle.
John Barry's Zulu please.
Sorry. Removed.Jesus, what's that abortion!!
Excellent choice. In keeping with my three John's theme.I have a lot of good memories of watching some cult late 70s/early 80s films for the first time when we got our first Video Recorder in 1983 - a Sony Betamax. Here's a well known track from one of them.
"Escape from New York - Main Title" - John Carpenter (and Alan Howarth)
Great concept, and I'll give you three for three in including a John, an instrumental, and avoiding a musical.Soundtracks
Something a little different this week. Tracks submitted for this playlist need to be music from the soundtrack of a movie or TV show. ... However, instrumentals are the preference.

And let’s try to avoid musicals!
Not written for the film so doesn't count.Love reign o'er me - pearl jam
Eddie Vedder has to get a mention here. Where to even begin? He has done a whole bunch for films.
Appeared and sang in Singles, an ok average film lifted to cult status by its grunge backdrop. Wrote those few songs with Nusret Fateh Ali Khan for the Sean Penn film Dead Man Walking, a good film with an excellent 'americana' soundtrack, of which I could have picked a few original songs outright. Covered a beatles song for the film I Am Sam, also with Penn. Wrote Man of the Hour for the film Big Fish. Wrote a song for Bad Monkey. Wrote a chunk of the soundtrack for Flag Day, some with Glen Hansard. Wrote a whole album for the film Into the Wild. Etc etc.
So what to bloody pick! I'll go with this cover of The Who, for the film Reign Over Me. Because it takes a known song, but captures the mood of the film with it. The title is based on the song, it appears in a number of scenes, and is bit of a backdrop to it.
