Beautiful Girls: Music From The Miramax Motion Picture

"Beautiful Girls" is one of my all time favourite movie. One of the many reasons why this is so is because of the classic songs found in the movie. So needless to say I wanted the soundtrack. I was so disappointed, as many of the songs featured in the movie are missing, including "I Run (So Far Away)" by the Flock of Seagulls, "Locomotive Breath" by Jethro Tull, "Fool To Cry" by the Rolling Stones, and others. Not a very good selection.

Approx 80% of you are here for the same reason I came here....to find the name of that darn catchy song played in this movie, but is NOT on the soundtrack. Well, I did find out what it was, and am now enjoying it with great abandon ;-) The song you are all looking for...they don't write em like that anymore...is actually called "The Breakup Song" and is by Greg Kihn...you remember him....our loves in jeopardy...baby...oooooo..ooooo...hehe.
The soundtrack itself is ok...but not as good as I hoped it would be.
Enjoy

Beautiful Girls is one of my favorite movies and I think that this movie should have received much more attention than it did. The soundtrack is not bad...but where some movies are dependent upon their soundtrack (think Cameron Crowe movies), and the soundtrack makes you think of the movie, I don't think this was the case with this collection. The best songs are Chris Issak's "Graduation Day", Pete Droge's "Beautiful Girl" and Satchel's "Suffering". And who doesn't love "Beth" and "Sweet Caroline"? But they are missing a song that was played in the movie, I think it may be the Greg Khin band, and not remembering the name of the damn song has plagued me. I bought the soundtrack in hopes of getting that song and then it wasn't on there. Bad Miramax...be ashamed. But please go rent the movie, for it is definitely a 5* cinema feature. Buy the disc, too.
