Amazon.co.uk Review
Movie soundtracks are chancy in that the music is often geared to specific parts of the film that are meant to evoke concurrent emotions; many don't hold up apart from their cinematic context. The trend of the past few years has been to gratuitously traipse down memory lane, with the convenient stance that a hit parade of 1970s funk will lend an otherwise bloodless film some street cred. Thankfully the soundtrack to Good Will Hunting doesn't strive for fake urban cool; this film about white, working-class Bostonians gets a mostly white, working-class sound. The soundtrack effectively mirrors the half-filled desires and lives that the film capitalises on: restlessness, ennui, doubt and unrequited love rule here. Elliott Smith contributes the most, and the best, songs: beautiful weepers that outshine Danny Elfman's sombre original score, which makes only a few appearances. --Alan E. Rapp

Customer Reviews

wonderful, touching music...
I've had this cd for years now, so perhaps you think i'd be fed up of it by now. Well, no. I regularly pop this in the cd tray and don't tire of it at all. Danny Elfman's score gently underpins an excellent selection of songs, including Elliott Smith's contributions, of which Angeles is perhaps my favourite, but to be fair, all shine. If you haven't seen gus van sant's film, then rush out to the video store. If you are a fan of it, as i am, then buy without hesitation.

the good cd's always get borrowed and never return!
This CD rocks. I bought it just after watching the film, and it brought back all the good parts!

It is so nice. It just blends into your body like silk. If u remember liking the music from the film then buy this cd because almost every single song is good. Some are absolute classics

I don't have this cd anymore because I lent it to someone...who lent it to his other friend.who lent it to someone else.

everyone who hears it..wants it. simply cus it is very easy to listen to
