@noondlyt

Me: posts my Friday night thread

You:

@noondlyt oh wow you got some really good ones in here I’m looking for the piano but I don’t see it

@flexghost

I will add that now! Thanks!

@noondlyt @flexghost

Well, I was going to post Last of the Mohicans but I'm glad to see someone else beat me to it!

@noondlyt @flexghost

Oh, wait! You also beat me to The Big Blue! I thought I was the only one who even saw that movie!

@victorvonvortex @noondlyt @flexghost I absolutely love The Big Blue! Luc Besson is one of my favorite directors, and I think that's one of his better movies.

@flexghost
Might be cheating since the movie was the music.

@flexghost Possibly my favorite movie soundtrack of all time.

@flexghost Mel Gibson may be a christofascist but Peter Gabriel put together something magical for the Passion of the Christ soundtrack:

@InorganicFella I love Peter Gabriel
@flexghost Have you listened to this soundtrack? I think it would pair nicely with a bit of wine, a hint of incense, and a good lover.

@flexghost

Another Ennio Morricone. Kind of obvious, but this is such a cool performance by the Danish National Symphony.

@flexghost I don't know if I can limit myself to just one choice. There are compilation soundtracks, original music soundtracks, instrumental soundtracks...

Let's go with the first thing that popped into my head.

The movie is Sorcerer. The soundtrack is by Tangerine Dream.

@puppethead you can always post as much as you want and is this a movie? Is it good?

@flexghost This is a great movie starring Roy Scheider, desperate men trying to move nitroglycerin through the jungles of South America. It's based on the same novel as an earlier movie, The Wages of Fear.

@flexghost I don't love every song on this soundtrack, but overall it's quite good if you love spooky music with a lot of 80s influence.

Good evening, love, it’s good to escape…

For original, Gotta go with “Purple Rain”; Prince’s genius and multi talented musician/vocalist undeniable.

For kicks, for simply good soundtrack (of selected tracks, “High Fidelity”

Diet Coke with my spaghetti n meatballs.

All best, Hedy!

@DCampbell lots of prince tonight and I’m good with it

@flexghost Love the Blade Runner theme and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly’s soundtrack. Sooo many faves.

Would love to put in something from the original Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 but I’m fucked if I can remember what the tracks are called.

Drink: a Rutherglen muscat I bought when I was back in Australia 7 years ago and then forgot about until now. Holy shit it’s good.

@Mewness Koyaanisqatsi on deck?
@flexghost @Mewness I like that soundtrack too, but Powaqqatsi is more than enough spelling for one day.

@flexghost

I haven't gotten all the way through this movie yet, but I really like this song.

@jelgato nice haha didn’t know about this

@flexghost

You know that I always find it difficult to leave this thread without including some Asian pop, don't you?

"Almond Chocolate" is sung in Japanese by the Kpop group Illit. It will be be included in the Japanese film
"It Takes More Than a Pretty Face to Fall in Love".

I love the melodic combination of synth, strings, and girl group voices.

Still drinking that not especially fancy but still delightful Canadian whisky.
