How's about a Saturday night music thread, if anyone is home. I remember
thankbud (RIP) used to be a participant. Tonight I ask...name me a movie/soundtrack combo that is better overall than The Graduate. I just threw some rosemary and thyme on some pork sirloin steaks for the grill, and well...The Graduate is going to come to mind every time. What a great movie. What great corresponding songs.

American Pie, though it has some carryover with The Graduate.
Mrs. Robinson is on both soundtracks.
Also, Forrest Gump.

The movie was just okay, but it had everyone talking about the soundtrack for sure, and a mini-resurgence of classic R&R ensued.

Ziggy Marley's version of The Cars "Drive" alone would put it in contention, but there are 5-6 other gems on that soundtrack...

Say what you will about Dustin Hoffman, but he never removed his bra this sexily. Not even in "Tootsie".

Aerosmith was only used better in Ace Ventura. And Armageddon.
