Soundtrack Available: Music in American Film

Watch—and listen to—classic movies whose popular music soundtracks propel action, underscore emotion, heighten authenticity, and stay in our memories. Organized by Wexner Center Film Curator David Filipi, the Soundtrack Available series features films notable for their creative and thoughtful use of popular music as a cinematic element. Many spawned soundtrack albums whose impact equaled that of the films themselves.

Dazed and Confused

(Richard Linklater, 1993)

Film/Video Theater

Linklater's Dazed and Confused is a pitch-perfect beer-and-smoke-filled cruise through the last day of school in a small Texas town in 1976.

Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion" and Kiss's "Rock and Roll All Nite" are just two of the 1970s' hits that help set the scene. The film led to the release of two soundtrack albums. (102 mins., 35mm)
