All Them Other Guys / Re: At the Movies: The Best Scores!
« Last post by Zzzptm on Today at 02:54:14 PM »Ahhh... the dollars trilogy! Yes! Great, iconic soundtracks for all of them!
Me, I'm sticking to one-off films, and my next choice is John Waters' 1988 classic, Hairspray!

Not the musical or the 2007 movie of the musical version, the original. It's full of great tracks from 1962, selected by Kenny Vance, who also did the soundtrack for Animal House - another film set in 1962 with a great soundtrack.
To be sure, two of the songs used in the film are from 1963, and Toussaint McCall's epic ballad "Nothing Takes the Place of You" came out in 1967, but it fits the period so very well, it just had to be there.
28 songs make up the soundtrack, and they're pretty much all bangers. List here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairspray_(1988_soundtrack)
So get on out there and do The Bird!
