And I remember a live harpist for Garbo’s The Kiss and a chorus of whistlers with cowbells for some Keystone Cops shorts. Good times!

I’m like you, I gradually got into film music, and I remember very vividly how amazing it was to listen to the exit music from Charles Strouse’s score to “Bonnie and Clyde” in the theatre (and of course I memorized that soundtrack, which also had lots of dialogue from the film). I was also a big fan of the “Romeo and Juliet” soundtrack (though if you want really tragic “R&J” music, go to the very end of Prokofiev’s ballet…it kills me every time).

I also recall sitting and listening for many hours, with headphones on, to the “2001″ soundtrack.

It’s wonderful that there is such a vibrant movie music community out there now, with many great scores being re-released. Truly amazing, and how lucky we were to have been exposed to this in the actual movie theatres!

Loved this!! Now I have to listen to some of these things again!
