I forgot how much David Shire's score for The Taking of Pelham One Two Three kicks ass. :D Anyone else a fan?

Synthesized and digital music is great, I love it and there's a place for it, but there's something to be said for classic jazz scores with live musicians and real instruments. A few links to click when you need some background tunes...

One of my favorite subjects, actually. As soon as I saw the subject line I thought "I'm going to post The Conversation!" Is there a release of that? I've never been able to find one.

Some others:

Duke Ellington's score for Anatomy of a Murder.

Herbie Hancock's scores for Death Wish and Blow Up.

Miles Davis's scores for Dingo (which also starred Miles as an actor) and Elevator To The Gallows.

Miles Davis's score for A Tribute To Jack Johnson.

Wynton Marsalis's score for Unforgivable Blackness.

Ha! I've been looking as well. Not sure. Let's keep an eye out and let each other know. :)

Not to mention one of Sean Penn's best performances. Or, at the very least, my favorite performance of his.

Agreed. It really is a fun film with awesome music!
