5.0 out of 5 stars Classic film, classic soundtrack, December 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Diner: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

Diner is my all-time favorite film because it's just so natural: the dialogue, the action, the actors are very real and comfortable. The same can be said for the soundtrack: 20 great songs from the early days of rock & roll that sound good and feel good anytime anywhere. If you've seen the movie, you'll love singing along on Ain't Got a Home; if you haven't see the movie, this album stands on its own (but do see the movie!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Oldies Soundtrack!, July 31, 2000

This review is from: Diner: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

During the past few months, oldies has been my favorite kind of music. I go to the Gypsy's Shiny Diner restaurant occasionally, not only to eat but also to put a quarter in the Jutebox to listen to my favorite '50s rock'n'roll song. I went there yesterday and after that I went over to Borders and found the soundtrack to the movie Diner, and immediatally bought it. This is another great oldies soundtrack next to "American Graffiti." It includes the songs "I Wonder Why," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On," "A Teenager In Love," and "A Thousand Miles Away." I just played the whole soundtrack on my CD player and thoroughly enjoyed it. This is the kind of soundtrack where you don't have to skip any tracks. Just listen to the whole thing and feel good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Food, Good Music, Good Movie, January 23, 2000

This review is from: Diner: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This soundtrack should satisfy just about eveyone, it's got good old rock & roll, rockabilly, pop standards, and beautiful ballads. You like rockin' rockabilly, you get Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Eddie Cochran and Jack Scott, a stereo version of "A Teenager In Love" by Dion & the Belmonts, two classics by Bobby Darin, and one by the king himself Elvis. This is a great soundtrack with a little bit for everyone.
