The Best Music in Film

Linda Thomson

(British folk singer)

S&S: What is your favourite film soundtrack music and why do you like it so much?
"Favourite score today is the score to Woody Allen's Manhattan (1979). In general I prefer artistes on soundtracks to proper " scores'."
S&S: In what ways does music best enhance a film?
"Music doesn't just enhance a film, it's an absolute necessity. Makes an ordinary film watchable, and can make a merely watchable film a hit."
S&S: Which film either has music that you wished you'd written or is one you would like to rescore and why?
"I wish I'd written one of the spaghetti western Morricone scores, that doodloodleoo intro. is so iconic'"
