Good Will Hunting: Music From The Miramax Motion Picture

✅ This product is in New/Sealed Condition.

Amazon.com Movie soundtracks are chancy in that the music is often geared to specific parts of the film that are meant to evoke concurrent emotions; many don't hold up apart from their cinematic context. The trend of the past few years has been to gratuitously traipse down memory lane, with the convenient stance that a hit parade of '70s funk will lend an otherwise bloodless film some street cred. Thankfully the soundtrack to Good Will Hunting doesn't strive for fake urban cool; this film about white, working-class Bostonians gets a mostly white, working-class sound. The soundtrack effectively mirrors the half-filled desires and lives that the film capitalizes on: restlessness, ennui, doubt, and unrequited love rule here. Elliot Smith contributes the most, and the best, songs, beautiful weepers that outshine Danny Elfman's somber original score, which makes only a few appearances. --Alan E. Rapp Product description Good Will Hunting (Music From The Miramax Motion Picture) / Premier Soundtracks Audio CD 1997 UPC 724382333821 /// The musical score for Good Will Hunting was composed by Danny Elfman, who had previously collaborated with Gus Van Sant on To Die For and would go on to score many of the director's other films. The film also features many songs written and recorded by singer-songwriter Elliott Smith. His song "Miss Misery" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, but lost to "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic. Elfman's score was also nominated for an Oscar, but lost to Titanic as well. On September 11, 2006, The Today Show used Elfman's song "Weepy Donuts" while Matt Lauer spoke during the opening credits. A soundtrack album for the film was released by Capitol Records on November 18, 1997, though only two of Elfman's cues appear on the release. /// Label: Premier Soundtracks – 724382333821 Format: CD, Compilation Country: Europe Released: Dec 2, 1997 Genre: Rock, Pop, Stage & Screen Style: Alternative Rock, Soundtrack, Lo-Fi, Score, Pop Rock // Tracklist: 1 Elliott Smith– Between The Bars (Orchestral) Arranged By [Orchestra] – Danny Elfman Producer – Danny Elfman, Steve Bartek Written-By – Elliott Smith 1:09 2 Jeb Loy Nichols– As The Rain Producer – Craig Street Written-By – Jeb Loy Nichols 4:51 3 Elliott Smith– Angeles Producer – Rob Schnapf, Tom Rothrock Written-By – Elliott Smith 2:55 4 Elliott Smith– No Name #3 Producer – Elliott Smith, Tony Lash Written-By – Elliott Smith 3:10 5 The Waterboys– Fisherman's Blues Producer – Mike Scott Written-By – M.
