I mentioned this one a couple of times over the last week and if you are a fan of film music this ones for you. It’s called “Discover Film Music” and it’s part of the educational series on the label Naxos.
There are two CDs, one featuring music from American film and the second from films from the rest of the world. Some familiar music, some unfamiliar, but the  in depth essay from John Riley really brings the tracks to life and showcases other composers and film score missing from the CD set. If you love the classic film sounds of Max Steiner and Bernard Hermann (Hitchcock’s favorite) and some of the recent crop like Danny Elfman this one is worth checking out.

The Academy Awards are Sunday night and if you’ve seen a few of the telecasts you’ve heard some rambling, awkward acceptance speeches. What would you say if you were up there on stage? Wonder no more. Click here for the handy Oscar Awards Speech Generator from Atom.com.

We’ll wrap up KDFC at the Movies on Saturday. As always we love your feedback on our annual Oscar tribute.
