*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 Septième 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.
