5.0 out of 5 stars the missing big brother songs........., March 25, 2004

By	Paul Beauparlant (east coast USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

a song by big brother and the holding company (featuring janis joplin) makes an appearance in the film The Dreamers, twice.
yet, is not included with the soundtrack CD.
the song is titled "i need a man to love" and the version used in the film is not the "cheap thrills" version but another version that can be found on the cd "live at winterland 1968".
one more short snippet of a 'cheap thrills' song "combination of the two" heard during the film is also from this winterland '68 cd.
a 2nd Doors song "maggie m'gill" is heard during the film but not available on the soundtrack cd .
and a bob dylan song "queen jane approximately" is also heard during the film but is not included on the soundtrack cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars IF only..., February 18, 2006

By	A. Hoang - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

IF they included the joplin songs and the missing songs, this soundtrack wouldve been SO INCREDIBLE. The thing is, they include some of the rock stuff in the soundtrack..but it is completely outnumbered by the more french, sweeter sounding songs. A successful soundtrack captures the feel of the movie in the cd and if they included songs like Janis Joplin - I need a man to love (which, in my opinon, captures the feeling of the movie sooooooo well), this cd wouldve been that much more successful in terms of effectively capturing the movie into soundtrack form. But, the music, nonetheless, is fantastic.
ALSO, I AM ALSO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE MENU SONG IS. THAT SONG IS THE STANDOUT SONG IN THE MOVIE (which is sad because its only in the menu), BUT JESUS IT SOUNDS GREAT. PLEASE, DOESNT ANYONE KNOW WHAT THAT SONG IS?!?!!?

4.0 out of 5 stars genius, February 15, 2004

By	N. "N." (CA, United States) - See all my reviews

i know this is a short review, but the music quite possibly MAKES the entire movie. its expertly chosen, amazingly placed, and even better carried off.

to make a long rambling paragraph short... it takes serious balls to put Jimi Hendrix music in a movie and pull it off. This soundtrack does it and does it well. Most fall too heavily into their '60's' mode and use cliches. This takes those cliches and SUCEEDS and reminds exactly WHY so many have tried and failed before.

An amazing album. If you're a fan of the movie this is a must-own.
