Not certain how many I have posted thus far. To be honest, I have been pigging out. It is a good thread.

However, each and every one of my posts fits the definition of 'soundtrack'. I know. I have listened to the soundtrack of every movie I have posted and have included each movie's official soundtrack album cover. For me, a movie's music is a combination of every song or score within it--and not only the main song or score that may be the most iconic or memorable.

Heck. Once upon a time, I had all 18 (19?) songs/scores from Kill Bill: Volume 1 downloaded on my iPhone. It was the only thing I would listen to-and-from work every day. Could sing (extremely poorly) or hum every single one by heart. And not just the single, epic Battle Without Honor and Humanity that the movie is (in my humble opinion) best known for.

Nitty Gritty Time is one of my favorites from that soundtrack.

 

[cowboyec]

soundtrack lp went to #1.
one of his most under-rated movie albums.

 

[cowboyec]

I made a Heavy Metal reference to a co-worker the other day, whom is in his late 40s/early 50s, and he just stared at me. I asked him if he had ever seen the movie Heavy Metal. "No", he replied. I was shocked. How can you grow up in the 80s and have never seen this movie? lol

Maybe he was helping us polish off our keg at the drive-in.

 

[Runwildboys]

Anyone mention Bohemian Rhapsody?

 

[InTheZone]

Star Wars
Robocop (original from the 80s)
Interstellar

I haven't seen the move but Jóhann Jóhannsson from Iceland score is really good,



espically this song

 

[Runwildboys]

I think of a soundtrack as being an album of songs, possibly but not necessarily created for the movie. One of the criterion I personally feel is necessary: Are these songs I do or would listen to apart from the movie? Am I ready to jam out to this music in my car?
That's my take, and I realize it's not the strictest sense of the definition, but I do believe that's how the OP meant it as well.

Ask the composers what they were asked to do, soundtrack or score the film. Music written specifically for the film is considered scored and can end up on the soundtrack but soundtrack usually refers to music licensed for this specific purpose. When you look at the credits you will usually see a Music Producer which is responsible for the licensed music and Music Composer, that's the score, original music for the film. Hans Zimmer doesn't license music, he composes it.

I spent 12 years in music licensing and this is how the industry differentiated between the two and compensation was handled differently if they planned to release the music separately from the film.

The producers of The Big Chill and Forrest Gump had to have separate licenses for the soundtracks, one for the syncing to words and/or pictures in the actual film and one for releasing the songs in a format for sale. There are quite a few companies that exist for the sole purpose of licensing music for use in film and trailers.

Do you know how artists royalties work on songs that are not composed for the movie? If i had a famous song that was used, what type of royalty's would be expected. I am not looking for anything concrete, just is based on a flat sum, or percentage? Do they get 50 cents every time the movie is played or a baseline check

My nephew has a song in a B movie, and I think he just got a small lump sum and some VIP treatment at the premier. Obviously the bigger the movie and the bigger the artist, the more the royalty checks.
