that was a good one too

I agree!

The Cure's 'Burn' is my favorite on the soundtrack though

One of my all time favorite movies as a child! The music in this flick was just mindblowing to me as a 11-year old. It's also the first time I heard Get up Offa that Thang by James Brown! Been a fan since


CLASSIC!!!
Loved this movie growing up in the 90's! IMO- The soundtrack is what made the movie even better.

I Believe I Can Fly by R.Kelly
Fly Like An Eagle by Seal
Space Jam by Quad City DJ's
For You I Will by Monica
That's The Way (I Like It) by Biz Markie and Spin Doctors
Hit 'Em High (The Monstars' Anthem) by B-Real, Coolio, Method Man, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes




the whole album! Mostly God's Stepchild by Janet Jackson


Another movie I loved growing up in the 90's! It's a fairly decent soundtrack. Though many tracks are missing, it still is reminiscent of the film.


Classic.


So 90's!!
The Best Things in Life Are Free by Janet Jackson and Luther Vandross
Money Can't Buy You Love by Ralph Tresvant
My Dear by Mint Condition
Joy by Sounds of Blackness
Forever More by Color Me Badd

You didn't mention my favorite, "I Found My Smile Again" by D'Angelo.

AlexdeParis said:

How did I forget that! It must've slipped my mind
That's one of my top fav. tracks along with I Believe I Can Fly

trueiopian said:

Makes me cry everytime!!!

estelle81 said:

Yes! I remember watching Pretty Woman, falling head over heels for Julia Roberts (or so I thought. She is just throughout the film) and rushing straight into HMV, once it ended, to buy the soundtrack. I hadn't heard it in years before this thread and *had* to download it.

It's brilliant - and 'Fallen' makes me melt.

Honourable mentions:

'Trainspotting' - it defines the 90s

'Even Cowgirls Get The Blues' - considered a flop after 'Ingenue', this is *vastly* overlooked; and has some wonderful tracks. I love it.

trueiopian said:

"Kid vs. Play"!
"Funhouse"!
"To Da Break Of Dawn"!
"I Can't Do Nothing For Ya Man"!
"House Party"

Cinnie said:

what about the body guard

automatic said:

That would be the one...

onenitealone said:

Exactly!

Ingenue, Cowgirls and all you can eat.....some of the best records of the nineties and she was in her prime as a singer and writer for all three. Lifted By Love, Just Keep Me Moving, Hush Sweet Lover, Curious Soul Astray are my personal favourites.

exenn said:

You just picked the *exact* tracks I would've done. And don't get me started on 'Ingenue'... That is a masterpiece. It took me ages to 'get' it... once I did, I fell head over heels in love with it. It's utterly beautiful.

IIRC, wasn't 'Ingenue' written about kd lang's relationship with Wendy Melvoin??

I'm not sure about the connection to Wendy, but that would add to the intrigue of the songs a bit more. Ingenue is one of those rare PERFECT albums. It doesn't let up from note one of Save me to the fade out of Constant Craving, and the production is beyond description. There's something so uniquely elegant about the whole affair, and ms. lang's voice.....(tears up)

Forrest Gump

My favorite soundtrack of that decade . . . so many nice soulful jazzy tracks

My bad . . .Do The Right Thing was '89 . . .wow, 20 years already?!?!

exenn said:

Absolutely.

Apparently, the album charts the arc of their relationship - from the heady, first rush when you fall in love, to the point where it consumes you and beyond.

When it was released, there was a particular music critic who kept praising it over and over; I wasn't familiar with her work but go so used to seeing this album mentioned, I *had* to get it. It took me about ten listens to 'get' it - then I fell totally in lov with it. As you say, the productions, the songwriting, kd's voice... just perfect. I really, really love this album.

Space Jam or Stevie Wonder's soundtrack to Spike Lee's "Jungle Fever".

Believe or not....."When Fools Fall in Love"
