the importance of music in film

I haven't seen "Rudderless" yet, but have it on my list.

A couple of other music themed movies that are very good:

Begin Again

Janie Jones

I agree the music/soundtrack is half the movie for me. I just watched
"Whiplash" last night and the music was fantastic and very well
recorded. I find myself listening to the music and the screen becomes
secondary.
There are many great artists doing music scores for movies that I think
don't get enough recognition. Mark Isham is one that I find very innovative
in his work.

agree with you Theo - I also enjoyed the music of Whiplash esp since I'm much into classic Jazz. The names of those great Jazz artists were mentioned several times in the movie & I knew who they were talking about...
