You don't notice really well done incidental music. It only stands out when it's just plain wrong.

I notice really well done incidental music. Probably because I am listening out for it. It's one of my obsessions :p

Zach Braff is one of my favourite actors, but I could take or leave Garden State -p'raps it's worth watching again to see if I get more out of it on the 2nd watch as well as it being a chance to listen to the soundtrack. I notice that Z.B. has playrighted a new show which is on in New York soon. If I were anywhere nearby, I would get tickets.

I don't think I saw it in here, the soundtrack to Rambo and Rambo II was not bad.

Wrong quote in my post. I'm absolutely certain that I didn't click on that post, but the one about Garden State. Not to worry.

Branagh's Henry V, by Patrick Doyle.

Of the "Star Wars" soundtracks, Empire has the Imperial March, so it's the coolest.

And I'll second Pulp Fiction for non-original songs.

I think two movies that really impressed me with incidental music were Lost in Translation and Solaris. Both I believe used it to set an alien tone. They both to me effected a disjointed feeling similar to being awake for over 24 hours at 2am.

Star Wars, obviously

Singles is a great snapshot of 1990s Seattle, aka "Grunge"

Waking Life soundtrack by Tosca Tango Orchestra

Ghost in The Shell, Kenji Kawai

Cas, I saw him (Mancini) live. It was a dinner/music thing. When he played Moon River I got pretty teary. It was a long time ago, I can't even remember the venue, but it was an intimate setting and I don't know what the ex paid for the tickets. It was priceless.

casimendocina · 06-30-2011, 08:28 AM

How very, very cool. I'm guessing he had a great stage persona? Was it just him and the piano?

I'd put Leonard Cohen in this category too, but I went to see Tito Puente in Tokyo in 1997 and that didn't make much of an impression. What you've said about Henry Mancini makes me think that it would be really worth the effort to go and see Pablo Milanes and Silvio Rodriguez before they get too old to perform.

infinite monkey · 06-30-2011, 08:35 AM

There were other musicians but it was mostly him. Yeah, I'd recommend seeing anyone you can if the opportunity arises. When Mr Mancini passed away I was so glad I'd seen the greatness in person.

I'll have to ask the ex about when and where it was, exactly. So long ago.

I had the same feeling about the comedian Bill Hicks. Went to see him live, then he died about two years later.

Elmer Bernstein

Magnficant Seven

The Great Escape

To Kill a Mockingbird
