1984

I like the Eurythmics Album for the movie, the one that didn't end up being used by the filmmaker.

It's an intense book, one of my favorites. I reread it every few years to see if my reaction to it has changed.

I had to look this up, as I remembered the soundtrack from watching the film (in an English Literature lesson - how cool is that?) but knew I could be wrong - it's a long time ago now....

According to www.annie-lennox.com, most of it was used:

In September 1984, Eurythmics were approached by Virgin Films and asked if they would be willing to record the soundtrack to Michael Radford's Interpretation of George's Orwell '1984'. Even though 90% of their work was used in the film, the director objected as he has already commissioned music from Dominic Muldowney and thus complained.
