Since the advent of soundtracks, it’s been clear that some films are meant to be heard as well as seen. The Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio pays tribute to films you continue to enjoy on your iPod with “Soundtrack Available: Music in American Film.”  Every Thursday through July and August, the Wexner presents films (often as a double feature) whose soundtrack is as memorable as the film’s plot and characters. Starting with two films whose music conjured up the feel of New York neighborhoods, Mean Streets and Saturday Night Fever (whose soundtrack in many ways drove the making of the film), the series visits a series of movie music moments.  Many of the nights revolve around particular musical nostalgia, be it for the 70s (with Todd Haynes’s glam rock extravaganza Velvet Goldmine and Sofia Coppola’s dreamy suburban saga The Virgin Suicides) or the 60s (as in George Lucas’ American Graffiti, which will be shown as part of the Wex Drive-In) or even the 30s (as with the Coen Brothers’ depression era spoof O Brother, Where Art Thou?). Other films, like The Graduate’s use of Simon & Garfunkel or Magnolia’s inclusion of Aimee Mann show how a single voice can define a film. If music be the food of movies, eat up!
