Lilah ,'Not Fade Away'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Navarre's howl in the cathedral during the eclipse kills me still.
And his whispered "Make it quick" !!
And of course, "I told the truth, Lord! How am I supposed to learn any moral lessons if you keep confusing me!"
as well as "I speak to God all the time and, I beg your pardon, He never mentioned you."
And his whispered "Make it quick" !!
Ooh I just got the shivers and I haven't seen the flick in probably ten years.
One thing I picked up when I first watched Ladyhawke as an adult was that when Phillipe is lying about what one lover said to or about the other lover, even though it was never actually said, it was still true.
Matthew Broderick's intermittent accent is forgiven because he's so darned cute and funny (and not in a Gimli way). I love his conversations with God and the lies he even tells himself "Not unlike escaping Mother's womb, God, what a memory!"
Didn't Tangerine Dream do the cheesy 80's music for Ladyhawke?
No, that was Legend. Loved it!
Whatever you do, do NOT watch the director's cut with the replaced music, it's awful!
Ladyhawke was scored by some guy named Andrew Powell (last movie he ever scored). I used to have a casette tape of it (that I might have recorded off the tv)

I know they did Risky Business.
One reason it's impossible for me to take Excalibur seriously is because I keep breaking into lines or songs from Holy Grail/Spamalot.
"God the almighty and all-knowing has lost a cup?"
some guy named Andrew Powell
In conjunction with Alan Wollfson (sp?) who is/was half of the brains behing the Alan Parsons Project. Love that band.
Oh yeah, that was it, connie. Half the Alan Parsons Project.
The music of the film was composed by Andrew Powell, a composer and orchestrator most well known for his work with Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson for The Alan Parsons Project. Donner stated in the soundtrack's liner notes that he had been location-scouting with a steady soundtrack of the Projects' albums, and so he married music style to pictures in his mind before the film was even begun. Powell wrote the score and approached Parsons to produce the music, thus making it appear to be an instrumental album of the band. Parsons is often mistaken as the composer for the film.
Cool.
*just listened to some APP*
Except for the part where that signature APP beat is my biggest pet peeve in the entire movie.
