Quote from: USTopGun47I don't know... I kind of enjoyed the Vanilla Sky selections.  Red House Painters, Josh Rouse were some nice attributes.  I think everything in its right place and sweetness follows fit in nicely with the futuristic spin.

i think the todd rungren song fit rather nice indeed

i like the idea of finding old songs and giving them life

how many people have ever heard " feel flows" before he used it

Using old songs can be great, and certain directors have great talents for digging stuff up. Especially Tarentino!  I loved when he used Stuck In the Middle With You in Resevoir Dogs and Midnight Confessions in Jackie Brown.  Moonlight Mile had an exceptional soundtrack with older folk/acoustic/60's music. :)
I'm somebody now, Harry. Everybody likes me. Soon, millions of people will see me and they'll all like me. I'll tell them about you, and your father, how good he was to us. Remember? It's a reason to get up in the morning. It's a reason to lose weight, to fit in the red dress. It's a reason to smile. It makes tomorrow all right. What have I got Harry, hm? Why should I even make the bed, or wash the dishes? I do them, but why should I? I'm alone. Your father's gone, you're gone. I got no one to care for. What have I got, Harry? I'm lonely. I'm old.

See my PTA/Altman/Nilsson thread for more discussion of PTA's use of one great songwriter's works...

The best  song of all PTA movies is ONE from Magnolia but there are two beautiful songs more in that movie, MOMENTUM and SAVE ME and I think Magnolia has one of the best soundtracks of the last years

Brion's "So Now Then" bit of the score. Of course.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Yeah, I actually play the score more than the soundtrack these days. My favorite is the "Chance of Rain" piece... perfect for the most emotional section of the film. That is one emotionally exhausting movie. I mean that as a compliment, of course.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

Stay informed on protecting your freedom of speech and civil rights.

The rest of the "Hard Eight" soundtrack is excellent! If you listen in the background when you watch the movie, you can hear a great score from Jon Brion and Michael Penn. For example, the music that plays when the title comes across the screen and the late night scene when John and Clementine drive off to Niagra Falls. Now, if you have the film on DVD, you can click on the 2nd commentary track and hear some of the music when it plays. But what's interesting is the music that plays when Clementine and John drive off doesn't take place in that scene. So, where can you find the music to "Hard Eight"??? I tried Kazaa Lite, but no luck. Can someone please give me a website or some device for the music to the movie besides "Clementine's Loop"?

I'm too fucking late, but anyway:
I just have seen "Sydney" one time, so I can't really remember some music, but..

BOOGIE NIGHTS
"Driver's Seat" combined with Philip Baker Halls introduction as well as Thomas Jane's. So amazing!
"The Big Top" (thanks MacGuffin!) by Michael Penn
And of course the "Clementine's Loop"!
And last but not least "Spill the Wine".

MAGNOLIA
"One" in the title sequence.
The Supertramp-song during the bar scene.
"We're gonna celebrate St. Suck-My-Big-Fat-Fucking-Sausage'a!!!"

I love how William H Macy had the same pop song from the 90's always playing when he got in the car.  I got a chuckle ouf of that.

ELO - Livin Thing     Best fucking credits song! It fits so well - especially with the cool title cards with character and actor name!!
I couldn't agree more with you on that selection for a closer. Something about it just really works well. The opener of (You've Got) The Best Of My Love is a lively song to start off with . I grew up in the late 70's and early 80's, so mostly all of this music kind of hits home. Actually, whe whole album's soundtrack fits so perfectly to the movies era and especially some scenes. Sister Christian/Jessie's Girl while the ripoff scene went down was great. The Machine Gun dance scene was especially good too.

Boogie Shoes
Spill The Wine
You Sexy Thing

For some reason, I am hooked on this film........

OK PTA freaks, my guess is that he selects his own music instead of someone else doing the soundtrack score for him? I saw no credits for it on imdb except for the music made for the movie by Michael Penn.

I just watched Boogie Nights again tonight and I was really paying attention to the music selections. This has got to be one of the greatest soundtracks ever assembled. With the help of the My Boogie Nights Gift To You All thread, I finally have every song in the movie!
