Trailers & Video Coming to Theaters In Theaters New on DVD Trailers by Genre Trailers by Decade Movie Mix Tape What the Right Soundtrack Does for a Movie Like "The Help" Posted by Nina Hämmerling Smith on Aug 9 2011 Nina Hämmerling Smith full bio of Nina Hämmerling Smith Tweet Any period-piece movie runs the risk of sounding tone-deaf to the nuances of the times. Add to the mix a controversial or emotionally laden theme and the result can be decidedly off-key. But the right music doesn't just set the tone for the movie; it can add the weight of history and emotional authenticity. 

Such is the case in The Help, the new movie about a young white would-be author in early-'60s Mississippi and the African-American maids whose stories she wants to tell.

Based on the bestselling novel by Kathryn Stockett, the movie stars Emma Stone (Easy A, Zombieland) as Skeeter, an ambitious college grad whose mother just wants her to find a nice man and settle down; Viola Davis (Doubt, Traffic) as Aibileen, the long-suffering maid who raises countless white children but has a crisis of identity after losing her own son; and Octavia Spencer (Seven Pounds, Ugly Betty) as the irrepressible maid Minny, whose tongue gets her in trouble with her employers.

It's about a moment that represented a crossroads for both race relations and political activism in the U.S. Music, of course, played a vital role in that struggle, both as nostalgia and as an agent for change.

The soundtrack for The Help tells the story in song, with choices that represent the disparate currents of the time. Here's the full track listing: 

1. "The Living Proof," Mary J. Blige
2. "Jackson," Johnny Cash and June Carter
3. "Sherry," Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons
4. "I Ain't Never," Webb Pierce
5. "Victory Is Mine," Dorothy Norwood
6. "Road Runner," Bo Diddley
7. "Hallelujah I Love Her So," Ray Charles
8. "The Wah-Watusi," The Orlons
9. "Personality," Lloyd Price
10. "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," Bob Dylan
11. "Let's Twist Again," Chubby Checker
12. "Don't Knock," Mavis Staples

 
Other than the theme by Mary J. Blige (who has said that she was inspired by her aunt, "one of those women," when writing "The Living Proof" for the movie) and the legendary Mavis Staples' "Don't Knock" (which came out in 2010), all of the songs are time capsules from the era.

There's the late-'50s honky-tonk of Webb Pierce's "I Ain't Never" alongside dance crazes ("The Wah-Watusi" and "Let's Twist Again"). There's inspirational gospel ("Victory Is Mine," in addition to Staples' "Don't Knock") and country royalty ("Jackson," by Johnny Cash and June Carter). Bo Diddley, who is often credited with making the shift from blues to rock & roll, and soul legend Ray Charles are both featured, along with "Mr. Personality" Lloyd Price. And of course "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," by Bob Dylan, whose songs famously fomented social upheaval.

Just as the different threads of American culture butted heads, overlapped and ultimately inextricably wove together, so did the music of the time. As do the songs on the soundtrack for The Help.

Family Movie - Find the Right DVD Movie Club For Your Family

Looking for a good online family movie club or family movie review?

Family movies sell lots of tickets at the box office and every year there are one or more blockbuster movies that are family films.

But with the high price of movie tickets and theatre concessions, watching movies on DVD as a family movie night in the comfort of your own home, is quickly becoming very popular.

Online DVD Movie Clubs

Online there are a number of DVD movie clubs that include family movies in their rental libraries, but only a few actually specialize in providing quality family fare.

While other companies produce some family pictures, none has come close to the huge library of movies that Disney has given us.

Walt Disney brought us Steamboat Willie in 1928 starring Mickey Mouse and in 1973, the Disney Studios gave us Snow White, the first feature length animated movie.

Disney Movie Club

Online the Disney Movie Club offers their signature classic movies, recent releases, preschool videos, sing-a-long video and other popular family choices.

Movie Clubs

Other online family movie clubs include Family Pass (formerly known as Mentura) which bills itself as "your ticket to family entertainment." Family Pass carries a wide selection of movies, television programs, educational and home school videos and spiritual fare. All targeted at a family audience.

Edited Movies

Another popular source of movies suitable for family viewing comes from companies that specialize in editing movies to remove profanity, excessive violence and more adult situations.

Club members can rent the edited, version of popular movies that might otherwise be far less than family friendly.

Online clubs that edit movies include CleanFilms, Flick's Club, Family Edited DVDs and CleanFlix to name a few.

DVD Software Filters

A company called ClearPlay offers DVD software that removes graphic violence, profanity and more adult situations. Movie filters are put together for specific movies and ClearPlay's list continues to grow.

Family Movie Reviews

Online is also a great place to discover family movie review sites that help parents when it comes to deciding which movies to see in theatres or on DVD.

The Dove Foundation, long a family movie advocate, provides online movie and video reviews. And if you're out shopping for movies or videos at your favorite store, you can look for the Dove Foundation's Seal of Approval (much like the "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval"). The Dove Foundation's seal is only awarded to movies and videos that meet certain family viewing standards and have been screened and reviewed by Dove Foundation reviewers.

Other movie reviews available online include The Family Style Movie Guide, Movie Mom, Screen It!, Family Cow, Grading the Movies, Kids-In-Mind, and Ted Baehr's MovieGuide which examines and rates movies from a Christian value stand point.

Family Movie Night

Watching movies at home on DVD as a special night for the entire family has become very popular.

Why spend a small fortune taking your family to see a movie at a theatre when you can have quality fun time in your own home? With a special movie night you control the films your family sees. No more unpleasant surprises! And you're guaranteed the best seat in the house.

DVD Movie Club

It's easy to join an online movie club that offers movies for the family or better yet "specializes" in family movies and video.

So take a look at what's on the internet and join a family movie club. Most offer a variety of special benefits to club members that make online club membership very convenient and affordable.

Then pick up some delicious popcorn and some other treats and start the wonderful tradition of family movie night in your home, a tradition you and your children will fondly remember for years to come.

And remember, some of the best and most popular films of all time have been family movies.
