The Commitments

Kudos to Bruce for this excellent banner!

 

Welcome to the massive group effort Film [Soundtrack] Festival! From November 1-14, we’re covering all sorts of movie soundtracks. There’ll surely be lots for everybody! Huge thanks to Bruce at THE VINYL CONNECTION for this fantastic group post idea! COMMUNITY!

 Check out THIS PAGE for all the entries.

 

Haha do I even need to tell you about this amazing soundtrack (and book and movie)? Probably not… I’d bet all of us either own or at least have heard this album, seen the movie, and read Roddy Doyle’s fantastic book.

It has so much heart (and soul), you just can’t help rooting for the band, even when you know they’re imploding. And they do bang up jobs on all of these tunes, too, oh baby.

This band toured afterwards, too. What a cool thing. And there’s a second disc of songs, released as Part 2!

Pretty hard to be perfect, but I defy anyone to tell me there’s something wrong with any of this one!

The whole story is right here!
