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)

 

[Out on blue 6]

If anyone would have told me that this big tall guy in Doc Martins who had long straggly hair that was different colour every week who I used to see walking down Lye in Stourbridges high street,would leave his life being the lead singer in Pop Will Eat Itself,move to LA and compose film scores that have been nominated for various awards including Grammy's they would have been sectioned.
But that's what the big guy did.
From the soundtrack for the film Moon

Clint Mansell - Welcome To Lunar Industries

Excellent choice. In keeping with my three John's theme.

And, another of my most memorable film going experiences back in 1981 and still one of my favourite movies. The first time I saw EFNY was in a multiplex that was next to the University of Southern California (may even have been on Uni land) in South Central Los Angeles. The cinema and adjacent food hall was about as far as we were prepared to venture on foot. My friend and I were able to stay on the campus (in the summer holidays) as we were British students so it was cheap accommodation. We were two white kids sat near the back and everyone else was not white. What amazed us was that as Isaac Hayes was chasing Kurt Russell (Snake Plissken) at the end of the film, the people sat at the front were all shouting at the screen and cheering Snake on. Never seen anything quite like it before or since.

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!

Great concept, and I'll give you three for three in including a John, an instrumental, and avoiding a musical.

Snagging this now as when something is offered that was also chosen for your wedding reception (dinner portion, mind you) and overall wedding recording mix, you take it:

The John Dunbar Theme (From "Dances With Wolves") - John Barry

(yes, it has been awhile)

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.

Not written for the film so doesn't count.

Read the rules.

Honestly.
