Looking For Mr Goodbar Soundtrack

[Dayna]

I watched Looking For Mr Goodbar for the first time in YEARS the other night..
I forgot how great the soundtrack was and how important it was to the film especially the sex scene with Richard Gere when Diane Keaton puts on Donna Summer's" A Love Trilogy" Album ,This was right as she started to come into her own as a sexual being and she put the glass chimes with karma sutra above her bed.This was around the time I was doing the same so it was like taking a journey back in time."great Time in life".. Only I didn't get stabbed.

Thanks, Dayna, for reminding me I need to check out that film again. Funny thing is . . . I RARELY come across the soundtrack in thrift stores. I know the film was a big deal in its day for its depiction of a promiscuous lifestyle (and Diane Keaton was having the best year of her career -- this and Annie Hall), so I'm reminded how odd it is I don't see the soundtrack pop up now & then in my weekend scavenging. Also, didn't the film help launch Richard Gere and Tom Berenger's careers ?

Yes, Dear Doctor ..it did launch both their careers.They were both SO hot:icon_eek: . The CD is like 100.00 on a popular site ..That's crazy~!!
.The DVD is finally coming out soon...it's on my must have list..

kinda puzzled that so many of you like the soundtrack so much when it has chopped up versions of "Try Me I Know We Can Make It" and "Don't Leave Me This Way" on it. I DID like the Marlena Shaw song on it though. Oh, and a bit of useless trivia: one of Richard Gere's less popular films, "Final Analysis" was partially filmed in a medical facility where I used to work. We were offered "walk on" cameo appearances but had to agree to be on stand by for an entire weekend, and I passed.

[SandraDee]

It's a great film & Tom Berenger is so sexy but the ending is just so depressing, &, call me shallow, but I like a happy ending.

[thommy2458]

What I love about "Goodbar" was that club scenes were the most realistic
I had seen yet(was it at The Probe?)And the soundtrack selection had some great classics-if edited,unfortunately.The last scene sticks with you
-definitely a downer.

I hear ya Sandy. That is my big problem with this movie. I haven't seen it in years and I just don't want to. I do still like the line she used about being alone but she's not lonely.:icon_cool:
remicks, I would never have guessed that you missed this movie.

[Dayna]

I had heard before I ever saw the film that the ordeal at the end was going to happen but you NEVER know who is going to do it~!! All those men were very off balance and in bad need of therapy ..So Myself being a HUGE lover of Horror and suspense was intriqued by the mystery aspect as well..
Think How crazy I went when I saw Prom Night~! A Slasher flick with a Disco soundtrack" PURE-HEAVEN"..:icon_biggrin::icon_evil:

[srg]

BILLIANT BRILLIANT soundtrack! I wore out the grooves off the vinyl BITD!!
LOVE the Marlena Shaw track- slinky, sleazy, with a strong (but oh-so-jaded) vocal...she's tired of the cheap sex, the easy relationships, she just can't go on living man to man, but the girl can't help it...God I miss the 70's:icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

the soundtrack's available on cd, by the way...

I always see this soundtrack in thrift stores, etc--I think I picked up two copies.

Great performances in the movie but Richard Brooks (director) and his uber conservativism really stand out and date the film--even more so than its source material it becomes very much a movie whose moral is "if a woman is sexually free she's unhappy and doomed to end up dead". lol Maybe that's why it's still not on DVD?

[JussiK]

It's been available on dvd for quite some time.

I LOVE the fact that it's so as you say "dated" it such a retro rush when I watch it~!!
Jussi..only the bootleg dvd has been offered in America,They are working on releasing a remastered version now..I would LOVE to have it already~!
