QOTD: What are the best movie soundtracks ever?
I swear I can hear the wind moving through tall prairie grass in John Barry’s music for Dances with Wolves…
question of the day: What movie soundtrack could be — or do you wish would be — the soundtrack of your life?
My perfect life soundtrack is actually a fantasy score: It’s the music the recently deceased John Barry wrote called “Moviola.” It’s what he imagined would be the perfect music for the perfect movie, full of epic sweep and passion…
Amelia (review)
This *Amelia* is a quiet, reflective film, and Earhart is not an icon or a symbol: she’s a human being, and the fantasy comes in how the film depicts her life and her achievements and everything about her not as something a *woman* did but something a *person* did.
Dances with Wolves movie review: native son
Dances with Wolves is one of the most visually and emotionally stunning movies I’ve ever seen, a glimmer of another world where less might have been lost if more people had been as open and friendly as John Dunbar. From John Barry’s stirring score to director/producer Costner’s daring presentation of a huge chunk of the movie in the beautiful Sioux Lakota language (with subtitles), this is a majestic requiem for a world that is gone.
