Mike Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 The Bodyguard! 17 million copies!!! Edging out Saturday Night Fever (15 million) Saturday Night Fever started the soundtrack craze however. The producers had no idea. Saturday Night Fever did for soundtracks what Star Wars did for movie action-figures! Who has/had these soundtracks? Who had/has Star Wars toys?

Opiate Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I don't have any numbers to share...but I would think that the "Forrest Gump" soundrack would be pretty high on the chart??? Ya think?? :: "The Crow" soundrack was really popular from what I remember too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 You're right, Opiate! I found this list in a google search. I think the Forrest Gump soundtrack is pretty awesome. . . it's the only one on this list that I own. (Not that I would admit to owning any of the others!)

Mike Posted July 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Here's a question.... How many top selling soundtracks became such "BECAUSE" of "one" song?! I bought the soundtrack to "Over the Top" with Sly Stallone as the "arm wrestler" mainly to get Winner takes it all-Sammy Hagar it was not "available" any other way.

Elvish Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 How many top selling soundtracks became such "BECAUSE" of "one" song?! I think the "Titanic" soundtrack would have to be one, although I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would want to own that screeching Celene Dion song.

Oh hellno, I wouldn't own that crap. Well, maybe the Saturday Night Fever one, but definitely nothing from that crackhead, Houston Most famous soundtrack I own is probably the one for A Clockwork Orange, but I don't think it's a one of those all-time record-busters, nor do I care. Wendy Carlos just rulz like dat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 As a kid, I owned a copy of the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack. Couldn't get enough of it. I think when my family moved, we gave it to my cousins, so I don't even have it to torture my kid with I love the Forrest Gump soundtrack!! My mother has all of our original Star Wars toys in storage. I like them 10 times better than the new ones. I loved how the light sabers slid out of their arms! We also had a light saber and my brother had a land speeder and an X-wing fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 I would have thought that the "Philadelphia" soundtrack would have rated quite high? That was a spectacular film and equally brilliant sound track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxy Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 This isn't so much a film soundtrack, but there has been a film of it made recently. The Phantom Of The Opera is a huge selling soundtrack - I should imagine the film soundtrack will sell very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Some popular early film soundtracks were - Easy Rider ('69) The Harder They Come ('72) American Graffiti ('73) A Hard Days Night ('64) - the Beatles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy1104 Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 How many top selling soundtracks became such "BECAUSE" of "one" song?! I have to believe The Bodyguard soundtrack is one of those albums though I would say two songs, I'm Every Woman and I Will Always Love You. Neither song is original to the movie as Chaka Khan did the original I'm Every Woman in the seventies and we all know Dolly Parton wrote and did the original to I Will Always Love You. That is the amazing thing about this album.....it did well on the covers (or remakes) of those two songs. As for Star Wars, if you are into classical music or a John Williams fan, I would think you will enjoy the original soundtrack of the movie (1977). American Graffiti had a great soundtrack, as well as Grease making them my top two favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidelityfiend Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 How about the "Grease" soundtrack - the John Travolta one not the broadway one. I probably couldn't stomach it now, but when I was 12 I about wore out a vinyl copy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
