No director had a better or more eclectic ear than the late Jonathan Demme. His "Something Wild," which makes use of 49 songs, is the best example. But the official album contains only the dregs, so try this collection from his mafia farce instead, featuring such diverse Demme favorites as New Order, Tom Tom Club, The Feelies, Chris Isaak, and Q Lazzarus, whose "Goodbye Horses" gets a dress rehearsal for its even creepier use in Demme’s "Silence of the Lambs."
