the Silver Bullet Band Forrest Gump (1994) is one of the most
successful films ever made, winning Tom Hanks his second successive Best Actor
Oscar (he won the previous year for Philadelphia) as well as claiming the Best
Picture Oscar and many other awards and nominations, including several for
music. A unique fable of American life from the 1950s to the 80s, the film
blends comedy, drama, war, romance and groundbreaking special effects into a
social and political portrait of the passing years, all seen through the eyes
of the intellectually challenged but immensely likeable Forrest Gump. The
soundtrack is a double album featuring 31 classic pop tunes plus a suite from
Alan Silvestri’s rich orchestral music, represented more completely on the
companion score album. Opening with Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog”, this is a
fine anthology of three decades of American music, taking in everything from
Joan Baez’s “Blowin’ In The Wind” to Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”, The Mammas
and The Papas’ “California Dreamin'” and Simon & Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson”.
Here also is Scott McKenzie with “San Francisco”, plus Jefferson Airplane, the
Supremes, Lynyrd Skynrd and many more. Like American Graffiti (1973), this is
one of the great pop soundtracks, happily at home in just about any music
collection. –Gary S. Dalkin
