Love in these modern times :: Soundtrack Shout Out Wednesday

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang :: Soundtrack Shout Out

Although this is more of a holiday film, there are still songs in the soundtrack that I love all-year round. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is forever on my list of favorite films, a movie that has so many things I love – humor, flawed and wonderful characters, a real romance, friendship, emotion and vulnerability, and damn good writing – it is also one of my favorite “Los Angeles” movies (stay tuned, that may be March’s Movie Moment Theme!). Oh, and the movie also stars Robert Downey, Jr., an actor who has had my heart since the eighties. He also sings my favorite song on the soundtrack, Broken.

I love the theme music/score, too, in all its post-modern film noir trappings.
