Movie suggestions for alternative soundtrack mixes
 

Give us some suggestions of movies the 'Post Your Mix' folks should make an alternative soundtrack for.

Do you realise that this "thing" could result in massive 90+ minutes mixes? Or we should just choose single scenes from movies?

Of course!We're not doing it proffesionally here!

Blue Velvet
Remains Of The Day
Christiane F
Titanic
Nosferatu
Elephant Man
Brokeback Mountain
Any Herzog will do

Speak for yourself. :cool: ... :D

Sometimes I dream being a pro... :)

"Any Herzog Will Do" would be a great band name, but my guess is that Porky meant any movie done by werner herzog will be fine..... I vote for nosferatu (the only one i have on DVD, easier to work with... maybe i could rip it and do a proper video-sound mixing and post it... it could take quite a lot of time, but I'm intrigued...)

Personally, I wouldn't do it with masterpieces. It would be considered rape.
I'd go for something that doesn't have a soundtrack.
Andy Warhol's silent works could be an option.

I know this is going to sound like one of my more stupid comments, but how about a Disney film? They all feature a good range of emotions, and also are reasonably short.

[EDIT - I'm talking old Disney films here, not Pixar or anything like that]

You'd be surprised what amateurs can come up with.Nosferatu or some of Herzog's movies would be difficult but stimulating choices.What about some of John Waters' movies like 'Polyester' or 'Female Trouble'?Mike Leigh's 'Secrets And Lies'?Dario Argento?

Sure it would be interesting to try, but don't you think that Nosferatu's musical score, is impossible to beat?

arrrghh!

There are so many movies that I've watched and thought 'Damn the music or lack there of in this film is awful' but the time comes now and I can't think of anything really, perhaps coffee will straighten the matter out....

Well, I decided to work on Murnau's "Nosferatu". Yeah.

i'll do one with tarantino's pulp fiction or jackie brown, i love them both.

edit: haaa, oops, we're supposed to make an alternative soundtrack or mix the movie soundtrack?

So, I guess a democratic vote on this, is out of the question. :D

Its hard to beat the soundtrack for either of those movies especially Jackie Brown. I mean, the songs chosen fit perfectly for the scenes and overall theme of the movie(s).

It is hardly my point.Take Argento's movies:very hard for me to disassociate them from the music of Goblin but then on,say,'Demons' he used fragments of The Smiths's 'Panic'(the scene where the party goes on and the first demon pops out of the tv) or the Cult to good effect.

yeah.

We're supposed to make an alternative soundtrack(you can also use some of your music if you like) for an existing movie.

This made me think of Zorn's brilliant music for cartoons.
