Well, maybe Pinocchio's not a true story, like Jeff Bridges/Jack Lucas says in one of the scenes, but this is the fine soundtrack album for one of the finest movies of the 90s. It has it all: the original score by maestro George Fenton, the pop numbers from the era, some standards from the past and even some bits from the original dialogues!Also you can enjoy actors Williams and Jeters performing two tracks. If you loved the movie, you'll love this cd and if you're a fan of Terry Gilliam's, this is a must own, indeed. -@

If you enjoyed this film anywhere near as much as I do, you should own the soundtrack as well. If you're a Gilliam fan and you DIDN'T enjoy the film, what the heck is wrong with you??? :) In addition to complete versions of all the lyrical songs in the film, and non-lyrical orchestral compositions, you get some snippets of dialogue. I honestly don't know how any Fisher King-loving human being can do without this cd (unless of course they have no cd player!).

Great film, great soundtrack. My own personal fave is Chill Out Jack by Trip... I once saw Gilliam on TV saying how he thought it captured the character of Jack Lucas perfectly. The band actually wrote it for the film when The Stones wouldn't let them use their cover of 'Miss You'!!! Saw them at The Borderline years ago but nothing since. Come back where ever you are!
