Hans Zimmer, of "Video Killed The Radio Star" fame, has put together an eclectic group of songs from the award winning movie, "As Good As It Gets". From country to meldodic standards to pop and on. This music fits all mood swings. Laughing....with this movie it was a requirement.

I really liked the way the music fit different parts of this quirky but heady movie. When Jack Nicholson is trying to tell Helen Hunt he loves her--he plays Nat King Cole's, "I Love You--For Senteminental Reasons" and had discs prepared with all sorts of music for a drive a threesome takes to Baltimore.

We hear Art Garfunkel's, "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life" sung by Jack as he attempts to get his neighbor's dog to eat--it works!!

A good soundtrack from a good movie.

I appreciate your interests & comment votes--CDS

Big disappointment, since the movie was so good. Where is Van Morrison's Days Like This???

This soundtrack includes quite a variety of music. From soulful old favorites to new artists that we have seen in other forms of the entertainment industry.

It is a nice soundtrack for when you are doing some projects on the weekend, or unwinding at the end of a day.

Lately, the movie studios have endeavored to include wonderful collections and samplings of music of all genres and eras. This movie soundtrack had that same quality - but, only during the viewing of the movie itself. I'm glad that I checked the songs which actually made it onto the cd soundtrack on the internet before I purchased another movie soundtrack which would prove to disappoint me and waste a few more of my dollars.

Where is "Sunday Morning" by Maroon? This was the best song on the sound track and it is not on the CD. Big disappointment! Kept me from buying the CD.

I just want to ask. Are you deaf? Almost all people, who wrote reviews of As Good as it Gets looks like people who are devoid of sensibility. It's so beautyfull music. It's small and very abitious score. The film is beautyfull, but Hans' music tells us much more than film. It touches our mind, our soul. This is proof of Zimmer's talent.

Where is Jack singing, "Always look on the Bright Side of Life"? Why was he recorded for all of time on the "Something's Gotta Give" soundtrack, but couldn't be for this one? He needs to cut a full CD.

this is the perfect sound track to listen to when you are on cruise control. Set back and enjoy!

Caught my alltime favorite movie (As Good As It Gets) on TV recently and got a bug to purchase the soundtrack. Not many new copies available given the age of this movie, so I settled for a used copy of the CD. BIG MISTAKE. Most of the tracks are not accessible at all - the ones that are skip and slip. Don't think there's even one piece that plays through smoothly...

Condition of jewel case poor - it was cracked. I would have thought the seller could have supplied a new one ! The sleeve was stained in several places.

I don't think this was mentioned in the description of the produce before sale.
