I got the video soundtracks to Joseph and JCS (including the blank CD one). And the film version of JCS.

I went crazy with the Madonna Evita movie, picking up all sorts of CD-singles and soundtrack releases from a bunch of countries: US, England, Canada, Austrailan, Germany, France, Japan, Thailand, China, and Korean. I don’t know why I do that.

I’ve never really been a big fan of the ol’ movie soundtracks, though sometimes an alterno-pop musician gets involved in them enough to pique my interest. The only two I currently own are:

**Ordinary Decent Criminal  
A Clockwork Orange**

mainly because of Damon Albarn and the husband-and-wife(!) team of Walter and Wendy Carlos, respectively. Ooh, that broke all the grammar rules.

I wouldn’t mind getting the **101 Reykjavik** (also Damon) or **Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy** soundtracks (already have the goodies from it burned though), and at one time I had the famous **Saturday Night Fever** one, though that got stolen by a Frenchman (and I didn’t like it enough to replace it).

I have some **Oingo Boingo** and all **The Police** AND the **Klark Kent** recordings , so does that win me any brownie points with **Danny Elfman** and **Stewart Copeland** fans?!

And not to send this to the Pit with such foul language, but fooey to Andrew Lloyd Webber!

**Amadeus, A Room With a View, Moonstruck**

I also own **An American in Paris, Show Boat** (w/ Ava Gardner & Howard Keel) and **The Sound of Music**. Fine listens, all of them.

**Narrad**  
I do have “The Lion King,” I listed it in my other post back on the first page of this thread. Hakuna matata.  
Somebody else mentioned “Crooklyn,” that is a very under-rated movie and a wicked-awesome soundtrack.  
Yesterday I bought the “Fiddler On the Roof” DVD and hope to rock out to Tevye’s tunes sometime today.
