Good choice! Saw that with my future (and still) wife. We both still love that song and each other.
Anything from “Fiddled on the Roof” I watched it the other day with my son’s. I cried during “Sunrise, Sunset”
Zulu: Men of Harlech
The entire sound track is great - composed by John Berry.
Haven’t been to a ton of movies but saw “The Bridge on
the River Kwai” when I was 6 and “Paint Your Wagon” at 19.
Both, are still favorites and ‘Wandering Star’ and the
theme from “The Bridge on....” are my favorite movie tunes.
Haven’t seen if it has already been posted but the name of
that theme is ‘The Colonel Bogey(Bogie?)March’. Also,
I used to hear some Vietnam era Vets sing a lyrical version:
“Re-up and be a VIP....
Re-up and get your housing free....
Re-up....I’d rather throw-up....
Then be a lifer...a loser...a dud.”
Funny thing is the guys I knew singing that
were pretty much losers.
Shadow of your Smile, yes. I keep going to You Tube and listening to all these old classics. Someone once made the comment that my generation clung to our music. Like that was a bad thing?
Good evening, Ms Feather...*hugs*
Internet problems at work. Just getting ready to give up and go home.
Glad you have warm weather and your back. Enjoy some porch sitting.
Thanks ravenwolf ((((Hugs))))
Hugs back.
Good One!

One of the BEST movie soundtrack is the soundtrack from "Chinatown".
The opening AND CREDITS CLOSING portion of the sound track are like two companions playing off each other. What incredible pictures these melodies allow me to feel. Hauntingly beautiful, yet a forlorn quality that can never be fully explained, only felt.
To me, THAT is what makes a movie soundtrack, and Chinatown's is one of the best; The opening AND CLOSING score will take you there.
The closing score
And it is different, in a sad, sanguine subtle way.. So cool!
Good night and rest well, fatima...((HUGS))
From 1966, with James Mason, Lynn Redgrave and Charlotte Rampling. The look on Redgrave's face when Mason says, "Georgy, I'd like you to become my mistress," is priceless.
From the film “The Jacket,” the song on the closing credits “Quiet Inside,” by Andy Tubman

Harry Nilsson begins, singing "Everybody's Talking." After about eight measures, George cuts in:
"Yes, everybody's talking at you. Now it's your turn to talk back. You at home and you here at our studio in the Arco Plaza, it's your turn to talk back. We're going to bring you the news, bring you newsmakers and celebrities, but most of all, we want to talk with you."
By Hal David and Burt Bacharach, from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", George Roy Hill's classical Western from 1969. Who can forget the line, "Hell, the fall will probably kill you."
