Soundtrack Music

“I'm a big collector of vinyl - I have a record room in my house - and I've always had a huge soundtrack album collection. So what I do, as I'm writing a movie, is go through all those songs, trying to find good songs for fights, or good pieces of music to layer into the film.” - Quentin Tarantino

There exists an incredible range of soundtracks available, with those that have endured being the ones that go beyond the film to encapsulate the spirit of a time or place. One local example is the 1997 NZ film‘Topless Women Talk About Their Lives’ with a soundtrack exclusively drawn from theFlying Nun catalogue. Other notable examples are‘Purple Rain’,‘A Hard Day’s Night’,‘The Harder They Come’,‘Saturday Night Fever’,‘Trainspotting’,‘Wings of Desire’,‘Apocalypse Now’,‘Black Panther’,‘Do the Right Thing’,‘Lost In Translation’,‘Fiction’ and ‘Velvet Goldmine’.
