Soundtrack Week - Saturday Night Fever

“Would you just watch the hair? You know, I work on my hair a long time and you hit it. He hits my hair.” - Ah yes my favorite line from this classic flick. In case you don't know here's a brief synopsis of the movie:

Nineteen-year-old Brooklyn native Tony Manero lives for Saturday nights at the local disco, where he's king of the club, thanks to his stylish moves on the dance floor. But outside of the club, things don't look so rosy. At home, Tony fights constantly with his father and has to compete with his family's starry-eyed view of his older brother, a priest. Nor can he find satisfaction at his dead-end job at a paint store. However, things begin to change when he spies Stephanie in the disco and starts training with her for the club's dance competition. Stephanie dreams of the world beyond Brooklyn, and her plans to move to the big city just over the bridge soon change Tony's life forever.

Flowers on the Wall - The Statler Brothers

Soundtrack Week - Once

I didn't quite know what to expect when we threw this one in the DVD player but after a few minutes I was fully invested in the flick. I'm not the best at summarizing movies so in case you missed this one, here's what the Internet has to say:



An (unnamed) Guy is a Dublin guitarist/singer-songwriter who makes a living by fixing vacuum cleaners in his Dad's Hoover repair shop by day, and singing and playing for money on the Dublin streets by night. An (unnamed) Girl is a Czech who plays piano when she gets a chance, and does odd jobs by day and takes care of her mom and her daughter by night. Guy meets Girl, and they get to know each other as the Girl helps the Guy to put together a demo disc that he can take to London in hope of landing a music contract. During the same several day period, the Guy and the Girl work through their past loves, and reveal their budding love for one another, through their songs

I think after checking out this song you'll put this one on your queue......Enjoy.

For my money this is the best arm wrestling movie ever made. If you've never seen the movie here's what Imbd had to say....Lincoln Hawk (Stallone) is a struggling trucker who's trying to rebuild his life. After the death of his wife, he tries to make amends with his son who he left behind years earlier. Upon their first meeting, his son doesn't think too highly of him until he enters the nation-wide arm wrestling competition in Las Vegas.
Wow I may go dust off my VHS copy and watch this bad boy tonight!

The soundtrack featured heavy hitters like Sammy Hagar, Eddie Money, Frank Stallone, and this man...the king of the 80's soundtrack, Kenny Loggins. Turn it up!
