Description
Product Description . desertcart.com Forrest Gump (1994) is one of the most successful films ever made, winning Tom Hanks his second successive Best Actor Oscar (he won the previous year for Philadelphia ) as well as claiming the Best Picture Oscar and many other awards and nominations, including several for music. A unique fable of American life from the 1950s to the 80s, the film blends comedy, drama, war, romance and groundbreaking special effects into a social and political portrait of the passing years, all seen through the eyes of the intellectually challenged but immensely likeable Forrest Gump. The soundtrack is a double album featuring 31 classic pop tunes plus a suite from Alan Silvestri's rich orchestral music, represented more completely on the companion score album. Opening with Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog", this is a fine anthology of three decades of American music, taking in everything from Joan Baez's "Blowin' In The Wind" to Aretha Franklin's "Respect", The Mammas and The Papas' "California Dreamin'" and Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson". Here also is Scott McKenzie with "San Francisco", plus Jefferson Airplane, the Supremes, Lynyrd Skynrd and many more. Like American Graffiti (1973), this is one of the great pop soundtracks, happily at home in just about any music collection. --Gary S. Dalkin

GREAT COLLECTION OF NOSTALGIC TUNES
Even though I have some of these songs on CD or vinyl, it's nice to have them in one collection.I think my favorites from this set would be "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head," "What The World Needs Now" and "Let's Get Together."As other reviewers have stated, it would be nice to have all the songs from the film included in this set. But, I suppose the owners of the publishing rights and or the performance rights wouldn't allow them to be included.BTW, I've never cared much for the film, though the soundtrack is excellent.When all is said and done this is a great set with very good sound quality, all at a fabulous Amazon price.

Great selection and great vinyl
Great album, no warping, no skips. I bought because of the many harder to find songs and it saved me a bunch buying one album to get all of them instead of having to buy a stack of albums.

Awesome Soundtrack
So this is one of my husbands and my favorite soundtracks (we also love the movie). I was racking my brain for what to get my teenage niece for Christmas when I noticed she had a record player and a Fleetwood Mac record. Boom idea formed! Talk with my bro and sister in-law and got her this and a nice super soft tee shirt that had Stevie Nix on it. She loved it!

Der Sound der USA
Vor kurzem sah ich mal wieder Robert Zemeckis wahnwitzig gute Tragikomödie und blieb aus irgendeinem Grund bei den Extras der Blu-ray hängen, die sich nicht weiter mit den Produktionshintergründen oder so befassten, sondern mit den verschiedenen Songs, die Forrest Gump auf seinem Lebensweg begleiten. Und da mir der Sountrack exorbitant gefiel, musste der Soundtrack dringend ins Haus.Und was soll ich sagen? Zwar fehlen Ohrwürmer wie "Hey Joe" (Jimi Hendrix), "Free Bird" (Lynyrd Skynyrd) und alle The-Doors-Titel abseits von "Break On Through", aber dennoch hatte ich viel Vergnügen beim Hören der Scheibe, die schlichtweg, neben den Erinnerungen an diverse Filmszenen, auch einen repräsentativen Querschnitt durch US-Musik der 60er und 70er präsentiert. Meine persönlichen Favoriten sind natürlich "Sweet Home Alabama", "Go Your Own Way" und "On The Road Again", aber auch abseits davon kommt man selten nicht in die Versuchung, irgendwie mitzuwippen. Kurz noch zur Ausgestaltung der CD: Inlay und Booklet sind nicht billig gestaltet, wie es so manchmal bei derartigen Scheiben der Fall ist - auch diesbezüglich macht der Soundtrack eine gute Figur und ich sehe keinen Grund, irgendeinen Stern abzuziehen. In diesem Sinne viel Spaß beim Schwelgen in Erinnerungen an einen der besten Filme der letzten 30 Jahre oder aber auch "nur" beim Genuß guter, abwechslungsreicher und vielfältiger Musik.
