Vanity Fair editors said the “Purple Rain” soundtrack was a flawless combination of “funk, R&B, Pop and Metal that defines the 80’s.”
Vanity Fair magazine has compiled a list of the top 50 greatest soundtracks. VF editors described Purple Rain as perhaps “the best badly acted film ever”. The full list will be revealed next month in a one time Conde Nast magazine called Movies Rock.
Movies Rock will include stories, photos, stars, directors and musicians who created the movies. There will also be a 2 hour CBS broadcast by the same name. It is set to air in December.
Vanity Fair has given us a sneak peek at the top 10:
- Purple Rain
- A Hard Day’s Night
- The Harder They Come
- Pulp Fiction
- The Graduate
- Superfly
- Trainspotting
- Saturday Night Fever
- American Graffiti
- The Big Chill
Our congratulations go out to Prince.
