Comment:

Though I love The Tarantino styled soundtrack - and Martin Scorcese was perhaps the first director to utilise Rock Music for his movie Mean Streets, I love Film Music i.e. music specifically commisioned by the director for his/her movie. Most of these selections are taken from the original soundtracks or from compilations deadicated to the composer - occasionally they have been re-recorded by an orchestra but usually conducted by the composer. Most of these films were made outside the UK or USA or made as joint productions between countries. The composer's nationality is in parenthesis. The director, star & date of film release are also included. All compositions are obviously by the composer. Enjoy!
