Also partial to this although thereās a large element of nostalgia here as it was one of the LPs lying around at home when I was 5 years old so got to know it very well. At that age I was always slightly scared of Rossano Brazziās strong vocal on āSome Enchanted Eveningā. When he sings, āOnce you have found her, never let her goā always sounded a bit sinister to me back then!
Quite a few years ago there used to be a good music programme on BBC Radio Northampton which was mostly indie and rock music. They had a feature where you could select three tracks off a favourite album, say why it was special to you and they would play them. Iām proud I managed to convince the presenter John Raitt to play this one!

By coincidence I watched Withnail & I last night - umpteenth time I have seen it and it is well known itās a masterpiece. I agree about the soundtrack - the original music is great, and the existing material is very well placed IMO. I bought the King Curtis record on the strength of the opening to this film.
Here is mine
The Lion in Winter
A Clockwork Orange
Blade Runner 2049 (heresy but I prefer both the 2049 film and the soundtrack to the original)
Another vote for Vampyros Lesbos - groovy!

Not a whole soundtrack, but āOn Body And Soulā is one of my favourite films of all time and the Laura Marling track, āWhat He Wroteā is used with wonderful effect in it.
In fact Iāve got very emotional just watching this you tube clip, so much so I MUST watch the film again NOW.
