| EXTRAS: |
bonus content for this disc would go here. if there is any that is. |
The soundtrack to this 1986 film offers
both sides of the coin. A lush and beautiful orchestral
score by legendary composer John Barry, and several '50's
rock n' roll standards. The disc starts out with "Peggy
Sue's Homecoming," which plays during a wonderful scene
in which Peggy Sue (Kathleen Turner) visits her grandparents
and seems to be suspended between reality and the time-shift
dream she's stuck in throughout most of the film. John
Barry has an incredible talent for creating an emotional
and gripping score that reflects, and perhaps even creates,
indelible movie moments.
The remaining five tracks are standards
performed both by the original artists (Buddy Holly's
"Peggy Sue Got Married," of course; and Dion & The Belmonts
doing "Teenager In Love"), as well as several remakes,
including Nicolas Cage singing "He Don't Love You." Marshall
Crenshaw fans will love his version of "You Belong To
Me," performed on location in a California High School
gym.
