And following on from that, the recent ZeroZeroZero series, again soundtracked by Mogwai. The series was never anywhere near as dark and ominous as the music wanted you to feel.Zidane. Truely dreadful movie but with soundtrack by Mogwai
I've a guilty pleasure for Michael Mann films, some more of his that 'slip under the radar' and have some cracking soundtracks:
Manhunter (1986) - The original 'Red Dragon', less well known than the later Hannibal films but the soundtrack is ace.
Not seen the Zero3 series, but Zidane is the only film I’ve ever walked out of, and I’ve seen some shockers!And following on from that, the recent ZeroZeroZero series, again soundtracked by Mogwai. The series was never anywhere near as dark and ominous as the music wanted you to feel.
Tommy.
I do know what you mean - Mrs P-T hated the film too.Oh no, that's a shoo- in!
- but then tbh I simply can't abide what Sam Mendes does with a film (all of them, so far)
Superfly and Trouble man are cracking soundtracks, a must have for collectors of the genre. I have both films on my try to find list, and Black Caesar & Willy Dynamite.I kind of thought, after OP's reference to Shaft, a short list would be obvious - but here for completeness:
- Marvin Gaye - Trouble Man;
- Curtis Mayfield - Super Fly (that film is just... well... at least there is a timeless OST);
- The Final Solution - Brotherman (winner of the category since the film never got made); and, finally, for an atypical OST,
- Art Ensemble of Chicago - Les Stances a Sophie.
