Movies with great soundtracks?

[dsturgeon]

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.

that sounds about right. I have just heard movie people talk about having stacks of small checks, or what is small for them, and I have always been curious how that works. Like if everytime the movie plays on tv, they get a check in the mail or something, or if the channel plans to play it 50 times, they get a check covering 50 views of it

I'm pretty sure that's a contract issue. But I'm sure a lot of actors and such hope their shows go into syndication because of the royalties tied to their contracts.

what movie?

I'd have to go home and look at the CD he gave me. I never saw the movie, but I think it's a tough guy flick.

Jeeze, I can't believe it took that long for The Wall to be posted.

 

[dsturgeon]

The thread is about soundtracks, but I like the video on this one better than the wall

not the version I saw, just what i found on youtube

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

George Strait - Pure Country

 

[Runwildboys]

Mob Rules is the best song on the album, and most appropriate for where it was set in the movie. The movie took forever to come out on video because of the music licensing.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Merle Haggart/Willie Nelson - Pancho and Lefty

 

[Runwildboys]

Merle Haggart/Willie Nelson - Pancho and Lefty

Know the song. Didn't realize it was a movie.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Know the song. Didn't realize it was a movie.

Yeah, kind of a funny deal on that one RW. If I am not mistaken, Pancho and Lefty was written and cut by Whalen and Willie (and there's a way funny story behind that too if you ever get a chance to check it out), and the song was so popular that they actually made the movie later. So it kinda went backwords on that one.

cool, nice accomplishment

Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Nice, this is actually a great find. This is a great soundtrack album, Vision Quest.

Journey, Madonna, John Waite, Don Henley, Ronnie James Dio, Foreigner and Red Rider with Lunatic Fringe (which is the best tune on the entire album to me). Nice get!

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

This will explain it all.

Wow, you know what you left out? I've got too much (clap, clap) time on my hands

The magic of a score is the ability to capture the essence of the visual and one of my favorites of all time is Explosions in the Sky doing "Friday Night Lights". They captured the desolation row look of West Texas perfectly.
