I LOVE this movie!!!! Hilarious, irreverent, highly original - this movie is the best teenage movie EVER! Just
released on DVD, it is sadly out of print on vinyl or CD. (I found this in a used CD store in 2003 - this is what
makes collecting so much fun!) If you can find this soundtrack, do what you must, but own it at all costs! You
won't be disappointed.

This soundtrack is by far one of the best, most exciting soundtracks ever recorded! Seeing these musical
giants in their earlesit incarnations and live, too! If you love New Wave and you ever get a chance to see
this flick, do it! You won't regret it. It's worth it to see XTC live, if nothing else! Plus, the juxtaposition of
English and American bands was a brilliant thing to do. Simultaneously you hear the similarities and
differences between the two musical scenes. Great movie, great soundtrack!

Need Your Love So Bad - Sting
The Man Who Sold the World -

Auld Lang Syne - Chas and Dave
An English teen movie that I've never seen but am desperately trying to find! All I know is, the soundtrack
rocks! And the music is truly representative of the music scene in Britain in the early 80's (save for their
heavy metal scene).

A Whiter Shade of Pale - Procul Harum
Tell Him - The Exciters
Where I was introduced to the great sound of Motown! All the classic tracks are here (though I could live
without 'Tell Him' - kind of annoying, but . . .) Trivia: the dead friend in the film - that you never see - was
played by Kevin Costner. Apparently his scenes weren't up to snuff (ha, ha!) so they were cut.

Friends - Hot Date
Hit the Beach - Big Spender
Anything with Cheap Trick in has got to be good! And there's something about this movie that I love -
probably because it's one of the first 80's teen movies, so it's not cliche. Although many horrible 80's teen
movies copied this one's format and became cliches, so this one kinda set the standard. Whether that's
good or bad is for you to decide. In addition to CT, the soundtrack has the classic NRBQ track 'Me and the
Boys.' Bonus!

Valley Girl
1983 Roadshow Records

Johnny, Are You Queer? -

................................Plimsouls
School is In - Josie Cotton
If you can make it through the first ten minutes of this movie and it's "Val-speak" without screaming, then
you'll discover that this is a VERY good, intelligent movie about being yourself and following your heart. I
know, sounds a bit much, but this has become a cult classic. Plus it's pretty definitive of the 80's. A modern-
day American Graffiti, perhaps? You be the judge.

possibly want?

Porky's Revenge! - Dave Edmunds
Why George Harrison consented to allow one of his songs on the soundtrack of one of the most tasteless
movies ever made is beyond me. Same with Robert Plant (aka Crawling King Snakes). Dave Edmunds,
too.

One of my all-time favourite films! Loved it so much, that I bought the soundtrack. Nothing special, just some
nice, mellow jazz for a warm summer evening.

Some Kind of

1987 MCA Records
Do Anything - Pete Shelley
Brilliant Mind - Furniture
Cry Like This - Blue Room

The Hardest Walk - The Jesus and
...................................... Mary Chain

The Shyest Time - The Apartments
Miss Amanda Jones - The March Violets
Can't Help Falling in Love - Lick the Tins
Turn to the Sky - The March Violets

The next-to-last good film John Hughes made. Plus the soundtrack has a killer version of the Stones' 'Miss
Amanda Jones' - by The March Violets - which rocks harder than the one Mick and the boys did. AND
there's Flesh for Lulu and Stephen Duffy! Great stuff!

Apron Strings - Everything But the Girl
This Woman's Work - Kate Bush
It's All in the Game - Carmel
Full of Love - Dr. Calculus

The last good film John Hughes did. Also a very cool soundtrack. An obscure Love & Rockets tune, a brand new XTC song, and perhaps the most touching, most heartfelt, and most depressing song in the
world ever - by Kate Bush.

John Hughes -- 90's style! Kevin Smith's first installment of his Jersey Trilogy. We, my friends, are in the
presence of greatness. Cool tunes, too.

Keep On - The Original Brady
.................................Bunch.Kids
The Brady Bunch - The New Brady
.................................... Bunch Kids

Okay, I could try to be cool and say I got this for the unreleased dada tune, but let's face facts. I bought this
CD solely on the fact that there is an updated, 1995 version of 'Girl,' sung by Davy Jones of the Monkees!
And I don't care what anybody says, The Monkees rule!

Empire Records
1995 A & M Records
Til I Hear it From You

Whole Lotta Trouble - Cracker
Ready, Steady, Go! - The Meices
What You Are - Drill
Nice Overalls - Lustre
Here it Comes Again - Please
The Ballad of El Goodo - Evan Dando
Sugarhigh - Coyote Shivers
Even with the crap tune by David Bowie wanna be Edwyn Collins, and the bastardized version of Coyote
Shivers' 'Sugarhigh,' this is still a cool soundtrack. Not to mention the best John Hughes-type film of the
90's.

A Boat On the Sea - Kristen Vingard
I LOVE this movie!!!! Loosely based on the life of Carole King, the world of pop / rock music is chronicled
from its infancy in the 1950s, its adolescence in the late 60s, and its young adulthood in the early 70s. A
wonderfully magical movie.

Y'know, this movie is so cliched, so pedestrian . . . yet it's so fantastic! It has a certain charm that helps you
overlook it's thematic repetitiveness. The music's pretty cool, even though alot of it is tongue in cheek. And
if you're sick of the theme song, check out 'Dance with Me Tonight' - it rocks!

Closet Romantic - Damon Albarn
Okay, the 'ultimate' drug movie . . . that's not praise for addiction; it's praise for pretty accurately portraying
the drug scene. I defy anyone to claim otherwise - especially after the baby scene, there's no way this film
glamourises drugs. As for the soundtrack - I think this single-handedly catapulted Iggy Pop back into the
public eye.

Howard Shore - Cats & Dogs
I love Janeane Garafolo! She is utterly hilarious, very intelligent and extremely cute! And I always enjoy an
intelligent romantic comedy. Plus it has Uma Thurman, so what more do ya need? Anyway, I really got the
soundtrack because of the previously unavailable Squeeze and Ben Folds Five tunes. If you're a nut like
me, it was money well spent.

I HATED this movie!!!! Disjointed, unrealistic, and totally devoid of any value at all!! Plus, I really don't
want to see Ewan MacGregor in the altogether. I could have very easily lived the rest of my days without
seeing that, thank you very much. But the music is tops! The one thing they did capture was the magical
quality that Glam had. If you're into Bowie, Roxy Music, Lou Reed, T. Rex, et al, check out this soundtrack.

Spinal Tap goes folk! Seriously! The brainchild of Chris Guest, this is the soundtrack to the wonderful
movie that pokes reverential fun at th folk movement of the 60s and the 90s proclivity for reunion and / or
tribute shows. Going down memory lane has never been so much fun!

Is it any wonder that Jack Black's delightful comedy about starting a rock band would spawn a great
soundtrack? I didn't think so! Great songs that not only are instantly recognisable from the annals of rock, but
also are reminders of scenes from the film. It's rare when a soundtrack accomplishes that, believe me, and
this one pulls it off with ease.
