i think pulp fiction did it first-- a lot of soundtracks in the 90's had little excerpts from the movie. made for very cool interludes when you're driving to sugar mountain for the weekend with your family

listening to a movie soundtrack on vinyl is so sick because all of the intentionality of putting a record on, playing it, flipping it, etc. in tandem with the intentional composition of a movie soundtrack for certain scenes and the arc of the film in general makes you feel like you're in a movie for the run of the record. my personal favorites: - shaft (isaac hayes, 1971) - superfly (curtis mayfield, 1972) - the social network (trent reznor + atticus ross, 2010 – they also did the challengers soundtrack!) bonus: if your life is a movie (fr) i think getting past the "poser" anxiety and just buying your favorite albums on vinyl and listening to them as the soundtrack for your life brings the same vibe. for me: - time traveler + wagenmuzik (gum.mp3) - room 25 + telefone (noname) - ctrl (sza) - starboy (the weeknd) - the misseducation of lauryn hill (lauryn hill) - what's goin' on (marvin gaye) - channel orange (frank ocean) ...among others bonus bonus: jazz. miles davis, duke ellington, stevie wonder, sun ra, pick your poison

easier than committing to an album, more visual (sometimes), more vibey (if you’re a tarantino nerd)

I sometimes just put movies on to listen to their sound design, and then go do something else while it blares on in the background. Mostly old movies from the 1940’s. The designs are so consistent, the score is so sweeping and trill, the dialogue so crunchy.  Modern movies have a bit more textural randomness and slam effects but occasionally they sound amazing too as a background, it’s just more juiced (and they also sync modern songs…hmm)  If commercials weren’t so heinously obnoxious these days I’d say a blaring TV in the background would be the most nostalgic… Forensic Files has an amazing sound profile and usually plays for many hours at a time on network TV. But old movies always have romance. They have the strings that have become synonymous with human drama, and its nice to have that slowly unfolding somewhere in your living space while you distract yourself with other things.
