T.O.D.

Without a doubt, the soundtrack of BEN HUR. I remember a school Christmas concert (when you could call it that), where the choir sang "Star of Bethlehem." I couldn't for the life of me, figure out where I had heard that song before. Once I got the soundtrack, it joined the OBC rotation. It was the only soundtrack to get that honor until the LION IN WINTER soundtrack was released.

BTW, I prefer BEN HUR over KING OF KINGS anytime. BEN HUR was my very favorite Blblical film until Franco Zeffirelli' mini-series JESUS OF NAZARETH was released.

My sister loves the Heston version of BEN HUR.

You mean the one with Morgan Freeman (not playing Ben Hur)? That'll be released next month. Here's the IMDb link:

Thank you. Was there some story that Morgan Freeman was going to play Ben Hur?

I saw Morgan Freeman in HELLO, DOLLY!

No, but by referencing him, I just didn't want to imply that he was.

TOD: First movie soundtrack that i ever bought by myself was South Pacific.

The first movie soundtrack that i recall being so fascinated with that i played it over and over was Thoroughly Modern Millie. i was a big Julie Andrews fan, especially her take on the Jewish Wedding Dance. (I was a Yeshivah boy, after all.)

And do the Partridge Family TV songs count as a "soundtrack" - just wondering.

FJL · « **Reply #18 on:** July 16, 2016, 03:12:44 AM »

I also recall a fascination with Rod McKuen, and really enjoying (and wearing out in spots) the "A Boy named Charlie Brown" and "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" soundtracks.

FJL · « **Reply #19 on:** July 16, 2016, 03:14:39 AM »

Many cast albums bought all through the years, but those are my memories of soundtracks.

Good morning to all

TOD

I think it would be Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. Played them to death.

Michael · « **Reply #22 on:** July 16, 2016, 03:58:46 AM »

TOD part 2

My favorite instrumental soundtrack is John Barry's Somewhere in Time

He also uses Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini to great effect.

And many years later Don Black added lyrics to the main theme and it as used in the Las Vegas show EFX

FJL · « **Reply #23 on:** July 16, 2016, 04:18:19 AM »

The Mary Poppins version we had was a studio recording which featured Marni Nixon as Mary Poppins. I'm not sure why we never bought the soundtrack when I was a kid.

I do recall seeing the movie with my cousin Lucille and her kids.

I shall have to think on this...the first thing that came to mind was West Side Story. But actually that was my Dads LP and he who played it all the time

I discovered last night that Netflix now has the original British House of Cards series... It is wonderful and I urge all of you to check it out
