*Thirty-two short films about Glenn Gould
Yeah, Steve has already rubbed this one in enough... I guess I will have to see it again

*La Septi�me Cible aka The Seventh Target
Remember the movie, but not music. What was it?
*The Trial
Is that the 93 Kafka one? Haven't seen it. Good?
*Carnegie Hall
*Intermezzo
There are several. Which one?
*Battle for Music
*Le Grand Blond Avec un Chosseur Noir aka The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe(the original French film, not the remake)
Are you kidding me? A MUSIC movie? It is one of the best comedies ever, but MUSIC?

*Unfaithfully Yours(the original with Rex Harrison, not the remake)
*Seventeen Moments of Spring
Now I KNOW you are kidding.
*Le Cuisinier, le Voleur, sa Femme et son Amant aka The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover
That one is VERY special. I would not say it is about classical music, but its use of music is exceptional, much in the same category as his use of images, thick and dense. Especialy the boy (girl?) singing in the beginning... chilling...

*Un Coeur en Hiver aka A Heart in Winter
I was going to mention this one too, but then decided it was more about screwing and drinking coffee.
I am a bit surprised no one had mentioned so far either the Dr. Strangelove, the 2001 or the FMJ - they all make an EXCEPTIONAL use of music. Not all classical, of course.

I'm actually enjoying a 4 day vacation, listening to "Rhythm is my business", "Coltrane Sound" and "Hub Tones" and drinking Baltica # 7.

*La Septi�me Cible aka The Seventh Target

If you remember the movie, then you must remember the symphonic score integrated in this film. If I recall correctly it was Saint-Saens amongst others.
===
*The Trial
Is that the 93 Kafka one? Haven't seen it. Good?
The one I know is Orson Welles' film with Anthony Perkins. Aside from the classical music score there's quite interesting and dynamic score with Martial Solal Trio's playing Jean Ledrut's music.
===
*Seventeen Moments of Spring
Now I KNOW you are kidding.
Nope, I dig the Tariverdiev's score, have the complete cd. Jazzy bass lines reminscent of Mingus' "The Haitian Fight Song" of all things.
===
*Intermezzo
There are several. Which one?
The original Swedish film as well as the American remake are both adequate.
===
*Le Grand Blond Avec un Chosseur Noir aka The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe(the original French film, not the remake)
Are you kidding me? A MUSIC movie? It is one of the best comedies ever, but MUSIC?
Well, it was a funny film about a classical musician. The sequel was weak, but the 1st one is pure gold.

  I don't remember it THAT well. Perhaps will rent it again.

  OK.

  I agree it has nice tunes, just thought it was not at the same level as the rest. Ant talk about something obscure for this audience...

  OK. Will look.

  Agreed on this one.

    I suggest you buy the 17 moments of Spring the album, if you don't already own it. It stands as a separate art work from the mini-series, with majority of cuts you probably never heard, since there were only "moments" used in the film.
