excellent movie, but soundtrack CD is a ripoff

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 2006)

the soundtrack CD for this movie could easily be a 2 or even 3 disc set, so many excellent songs left off. George Harrison's "What Is Life", The Rolling Stones "Monkey Man", (and dare I say it?) Jerry Vale (whatever song he was singing during nightclub scene with Henry and Janice), and so many others. (I'll even go out on a limb and say "My Way" by Sid Vicious. lol.) Few directors used music to compliment what's on the screen better than Scorcese did in this movie, and most of his others, for that matter. A perfect example is when Henry, Paulie, et al are in prison in the 1970's , and Bobby Darin's "Beyond the Sea" from 1960 is the background. IMHO, it's a kind of time warp, even though things "on the outside" have changed, and our boys are in the hoosegow, they're still living like kings.
All opinions welcome, as long as they are coherent. lol
