As Good as It Gets (Original Soundtrack) - 6550

Amazon.com Hans Zimmer went from helping create the quirky--if prophetic--pop single "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles to the Academy Award-winning score of Disney's The Lion King with nary a curve in the arc of his career. His 1997 score for James Brooks' As Good As It Gets displays the deceptive ease with which Zimmer shifts between comedy and drama, often in the same musical cue. This satisfying package includes excerpts from Zimmer's orchestral score, ballads by Danielle Brisebois, Judith Owens, and Shawn Colvin, and a hilariously dead-pan, deliberately overproduced version of Monty Python's "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life" sung with earnest conviction by Art Garfunkel. --Jerry McCulley Product Description Starring Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt, As Good As It Gets is an unusual romantic comedy that comes straight from the heart, but goes for the throat. Drawing from classics like Nat King Cole's "For Sentimental Reasons" and Art Garfunkel's "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," this soundtrack is the perfect companion to a very touching motion picture. This release also features the film's original music from Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer (The Lion King), plus cuts from Shawn Colvin, Danielle Brisbois and more.
