Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
If Hollywood's marriage with pop music is too often a marketing-driven shotgun affair, there remain musicians whose artistry can't help but elevate whatever film project they're associated with. This 19-track compendium underscores that notion, gathering a career-spanning collection of the Irish rock-R&B legend's contributions to an eclectic body of films that stretches from Pope of Greenwich Village's effusive early solo hit "Jackie Wilson Said" to the unlikely live collaboration with Roger Waters on "Comfortably Numb" that seasons Martin Scorsese's Oscar-nominated The Departed. The collection serves as a concise primer to the high points of Van Morrison's mercurial career, from the gritty career-breakout hits ("Gloria," "Baby Please Don't Go") of his British Invasion band Them through such early solo touchstones as "Wild Night," "Brown Eyed Girl," "Domino," and the collection's fine, previously unreleased live version of "Moondance" from An American Werewolf in London. But, as tracks like "Wonderful Remark," "Bright Side of the Road," "Someone Like You," and his Chieftains collaboration "Irish Heartbeat" ably argue, it's also an invitation to explore less heralded, if equally seductive, corners of the singer's rich oeuvre. --Jerry McCulley

Record Collector March 2007
One of the great cinematic pleasures of 2006 was watching The Departed and thinking, 'Hold on even by Martin Scorcese's standards this is a pretty obscure selection: Van Morrison singing Comfortably Numb with Roger Waters and The Band from The Wall: Live in Berlin.' But as always, it hit the spot. For those who couldn't bear wading through the original double album, it's here as an incentive to buy this new collection. Occasionally you have to sit back and tap your cap to a brilliant marketing idea: realise what a cinematic artist Van Morrison is and make an alternative greatest hits from his songs used in soundtracks. Make no mistake; this is classic high period Van and a great way to reaquaint. Of course, the work with Scorcese stands out. Wonderful Remark (Kind Of Comedy) and the frankly stupid way that Van says 'radddio'in Caravan (The Last Waltz) reaffirms absolutely everything you loved but had to leave because a) you weren't yet 68; and b) he became repetitious. Van Morrison At The Movies does the job. We're right back in our Haunts Of Ancient Peace. You will be too. *****

3.0 out of 5 stars Poetic champion goes erratically to the movies, 24 Mar 2007
By jayhikkss - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   

"At the Movies" collects 19 Morrison tracks that have featured - more or less prominently - in various soundtracks. The recordings span Morrison's whole career from "Gloria" (1965) to a surprise, but excellent, 2006 cover of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" (from Scorcese's Oscar winning "The Departed".) Of course, many of his songs from other flicks are left out.

Although any compilation from such a major creator is bound to include a lot of excellent music, I see it primarily as an ingenious - but at the same time dubious - attempt to present the public with still another greatest hits package of sorts. However, four of the tracks are not the familiar studio takes but live recordings.

As a Van Morrison fan from the first hour, I cannot reasonably recommend this set to anybody (except to the completist).

However, if you are new to Van Morrison's music and have bought this CD, there is much here that you will enjoy.

But should you still have to commit yourself to the purchase of a compilation, I would recommend "The Best of Van Morrison" released by Polydor in remastered version in 1998 (although this one does not include any post 1989 material.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Put the Man back on top, 2 Jun 2008
By Pete M (Lancashire, England) - See all my reviews
The only reason I am writing this review is to raise the stars rating. Yes Van has put out numerous Greatest hits over the years, but hey he's been around for years... this compilation differs as do they all, but paradoxically has a number of tracks featured else where, the crux is would you want a album collection to miss out on those classics.

This record is worthwhile for "Comfortably Numb" alone, there is not another soul on Earth who could pull off the vocals on this iconic Track (The emphasis on Soul).

Well done Van, you are "The Man"

3.0 out of 5 stars One that got away, 9 Mar 2007
By RONAN O'CALLAGHAN (N Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not exactly reviewing what's here but can't help noting a missed opportunity....the use in the movie Moonlight Mile of the little known gem I'll Be Your Lover Too from the album Van Morrison, His Band and the Street Choir was so striking I found myself mentioning it to several people. The song would have been a great choice for this compilation.
