Some of my favorites are:
The Big Chill ***
Wonder Boys ****
Locasl Hero (Mark Knophler at his ethereal best) ****
De-Lovely Cole Porter tunes done by broad range of contemporary artists.
Almost Famous
Elmer Bernstein by Elmer Bernstein not a soundtrack per se but wonderful cross section of his work produced for hollywood film scores. The Magnificient Seven , My left Foot, To Kill a Mockingbird, Ghostbusters to name a few. A great one to play while warming up your audience before starting your feature film.
Last and most essential...drum roll please!
The Last Waltz: A Martin Scorcese film featuring The Band with many special guests. Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Staple Singers, Van Morrison to name a few. This may be more of interest to the other old geezers out there like me.If you have the complete HT set up then get the movie and have the best of both worlds. This was re-released a few years ago in multiple formats. Not sure of the details so do your homework and get the best fit for you.
