The World of the Silver Screen

Beautiful People

The film Beautiful People opened in the UK in September 1999, and includes Kirsty singing a Randy Newman song from 1972 called Sail Away which accompanies scenes of journalists flying out to cover the Bosnian war. The soundtrack album is now available, though I expect only bigger stores are likely to carry it. Kirsty was specially commissioned to record the track.

Picture Perfect

The 1997 "cute but forgettable" Jennifer Anniston flick Picture perfect carried They don't know on the soundtrack in the background. About 5 minutes into the movie just so you know. Source: CR

Out of Sight

The soundtrack to the George Clooney/Jennifer Lopez film carries the original recording of Spanish Grease by Willie Bobo - sampled by Kirsty of course for In these shoes?

Lanzarote: Land of Parched Earth

In 1983, Kirsty and her brother Hamish composed an instrumental soundtrack (utilising synthesizers and banks of strings in a Beach Boys style!) for a short film called Lanzarote: Land of Parched Earth, which opened for Gorky Park in the cinemas.
