and I had this on vinyl way back in the 1970s
is Bob Dylan's music for Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.
(Dylan acted in the movie, too.)
The soundtrack that gave us the cllassic song
"Knockin' on Heaven's Door"
Lots of guitars and Bob sounds OK too.
Now I have the CD.
I saw Breaking Away listed as a soundtrack, but I've never heard it.
Must be perfect with all that "Italian" music.
Better look that one up.
Oh Yes
Shawshank Redemption and The Motorcycle Diaries too.

I was listening to "Knockin on Heaven's Door" on the way home tonite. It belongs right up there with "Streets of Laredo (Cowboy's Lament)" and "He was a Friend of Mine."

A recommendation for some romantic Valentine music:
Yo-Yo Ma plays Ennio Morricone, a collection of film scores from Cinema Paradiso, The Mission, Once Upon a Time in America, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, The Untouchables and more.
I've been listening to it for several days and am all mellowed out and ready for Valentine's Day!
February is also Morricone month in New York with showings of these films, and (the only thing I'll miss seeing on Feb 25) he'll receive an honorary Oscar.

Good to see that good old Ennio still goes strong and this month will be "his" American month. He's been one of the most prolific soundtrack composers, and only now the Academy "remembers" to award him, after five nominations that went nowhere...
I'm just so glad because I love his music, almost all of it, and it's very difficult for me to select a specific soundtrack, but agree with you Lee, his romantic and mystic themes are probably the best.
I remember when I was at high school one of my schoolmates - Federica; I remember I had a remarkable crush on her! - whose mother was a music teacher, had known Ennio Morricone as they went to the same school in Rome. It's such a small world...
