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.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
