Thread Name: Your Favorite Music Scenes in Film
Subject: RE: Your Favorite Music Scenes in Film
Worth an visit for sheer musical pleasure; the soundtracks of Pasolini's 'Canterbury Tales' and 'The Arabian Nights' and Bill Bryden's St Kilda film 'Ill Fares The Land' (selected by John Tams).
Again, the whole soundtrack of 'Songcatcher', even the Janet McTeer 'singing' of Barbara Allen; not the style in which I would normally want to listen to it, but works beautifully in context.
For the opposite effect, the beer garden scene in Cabaret, where a group of Hitler Youth sings 'The Future Belongs To Me' with increasing intensity still makes my skin crawl; hardly enjoyable, but certainly memorable.
