Ok, we've been contracted to play a concert which is made up solely of music
from films.....as in "can you play a complete concert of only film music?
(me) Of course!  (then, what have I got myself into here?)"    :>
Fortunately, they want it to be music from older films, mainly, so we don't
have to try to do Star Wars or something.  I prefer to play tunes we
normally do, rather than try a bunch of new tunes at a concert.
 
Of the tunes we already do, I've made up a list I know are from movies, but
could use some more suggestions.  And, if anyone knows which movies the
songs in my little list come from (& any history, or who starred), that
would be great to know.
 
Thanks, in advance.  Jim
