Pat Metheny Film Scores: Fandango 

This scene is heart wrenching for anyone who's ever loved and lost.

One of the best movies of all time.

WoW and Holy Crap Man. I thought for years I was the only one who fealt the way everyone who has posted before me feels.. I'm now 46. I've found the love of my life but the only way that dream will ever come true is by the Grace of GOD. Since her name is Grace and my Daughter's name is Hope I have Faith GOD will finally bless me with that Soulful Love. And as soon as we can get some time to chill and be alone together, we are watching this movie together. It molded my life. I ended up just like Truman for a while. lol. College, war, buddies, girls, wild times, crazy nights, beer drinking, roughin' it, breaking the law in a day when laws had some leeway. A better day. A dream of yesterday and today. If you've never seen it put it on your movie bucket list. Thank you Pat & Lyle. 5-13-16

Been listening to Pat Metheny Group since 1980 and never thought of anyone dancing to his music - this is beyond perfect. Great movie that I just discovered a couple months ago.

there is not a time that I haven't sobbed watching this film and this particular scene. pat metheny's music along with the atmosphere of the movie, the ending of such a beautiful and poetic story about friendship, growing up, parting ways with your friends.... it strikes a chord inside of me that I can't fully understand. i know it makes me look back on a life I haven't lived, it takes me into the future when I'll look back to my own youth and memories. this scene is one of my most sacred treasures. fandango is a movie I was introduced to by my dad, we share the same passions in music and movies. after I finish watching this film i get transported in another dimension, it's a feeling that last for days. truly a cinematic masterpiece. poetry is everywhere. I want to live a life that makes me feel in my heart like this story does.

JUST PASSING THIS ALONG: The Opening Title Card to the Kevin Reynolds film 'FANDANGO' (1985) reads: "Austin, Texas. May 15, 1971." Thus making that 45 years ago TODAY 'The Groovers' went out to dig up Dom and to re-live the greatest chapter in Groover History. This film, 'FANDANGO' -- changed my life ... so ... if I may: "Here's to us, by God-! To us, and that... ... and privileges of youth. Here's to us and what we were. And what we'll be." DOM LIVES-! D.A.

I lost track to how many times I've watched this movie. And I swear each time I watch it, it's like the first time.

They should do a Fandango II or Reunion movie over 20 years later: Lester testifies at congressional hearings how Arthur Anderson was involved with the Enron debacle; Dorman is a missionary in Central America helping the rebels run marijuana for their cause; Phil comes back from Vietnam assisting Vets and denouncing the War; Waggoner comes back with PTSD with his wife supportive but is afraid of his reactions; and Gardner is a professor who comes back from Canada who has a son who wants to go join the Army due to the Gulf War and cannot convince him not to go. Would love to see a Fandango II.

Sacrifice for a friend and loss of love from a sweetheart all in one movement. Plus the music. It makes for a lasting, haunting memory.

Outstanding, underrated movie made great by an incredible soundtrack, but Pat Metheny's tunes make it soar. Thank you.

I am brimming over with love just seeing this wonderful clip & the most amazing piece of music ever. Thank you. X

my favorite scene from one of my favorite movies of all time. We played this song at our wedding.

Gem 💎 of a movie not seen it in years, and all those memories came flooding back. Magic

This scene, coupled with the music, always gives me the goosebumps and makes me cry..... Beautiful

The first time I heard this tune I was going through 7seven weeks of Medical Training school. As a usual practice, I'd buy at least one CD for listening as a kind of commemorative to each experience when I'd travel. This piece is from the first CD I'd ever bought by Pat Metheny. The title was *"As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls."* It felt kind of anemoia to me because of where _Sheppard Air Force Base_ was located: _Wichita Falls, Texas..._

The film of my youth, the film of everyone's youth...

this film, scene. still after all these years

Uhhh. This music from 20 years ago....wedding of my friend. This song was in my head all the time

Where does 32 years go so fast?

Takes place around 1971. I would have been 9 years old at the time. Had my whole life ahead of me. Now at 60 I am over the hump.

Pat's Masterpiece that makes this scene EPIC !!!! ❤❤❤❤

Truly a beautiful scene...and a fantastic movie. Love the ones you have, while you have them.

RD🇩🇴My favorite piece of music by Pat Metheny, here in the movie they call it Fandango, but its real name is: "it's for You" I think this piece of music should be named intangible heritage of h.

Greatest movie of all time!

This music is magic, in all ways and all senses. And Suzi Amis is the bride we all dream to have.

This was such a beautiful and memorable movie.

Saw this movie, had NO IDEA ABOUT MATHENY OR MAYS! What an intro!!!😮

The best song from the best movie. Perfect

Unreal. Listening to the Spa channel on XM, what song should appear. Amazing.

I seem to vaguely recall the plot of this movie masterpiece, after this legendary fandango dance , the young Costner character takes off for south of the border to avoid the Vietnam draft . Judd Nelson enlisted and one dude gets married . The drifter who slept through the long drive finally wakes up from him hangover .. 🍿🎥 . Great flick! Is this Kevin Costner 's first movie ? A young e g daily has a cameo in this classic movie also !! Excelsior 🎉the soundtrack is phenomenal as well as the Midwest scenery in the background

This makes me cry and I don't cry.

I could not believe they had this on utube

Love this music

Oh how I love this movie! Crushin hard on Kevin Costner.

Some movie scenes just get to you and this is one of them for me..I love it

Such a good tune. Bless you Lyle Mays

Love this splendid movie with Maestro PM ost thanks for posting this excellent excerpt from The Fandango film footage 4th 1 2016

Thanx! G to his is the most beautiful song Ive ever heard

This song is called " It's for you" And it is on his As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls album

The last dance is always the best...

This scene makes me weep every time

OUTSTANDING MUSIC@@!!!!

Il finale del film valeva da solo il prezzo del biglietto! A tutti noi per Dio, ai bei momenti andati e a quelli tristi, ai nostri sogni realizzati e a quelli infranti, a tutto ciò che siamo e che potevamo essere. Noi torneremo...

Grande film, grande scena e grande musica.

Great movie and great scene!

In my life, certainly, there was more than one, but only one actually broke through my walls.

mamma mia ... really i am so touched!

The very cute 22 year old Suzy Amis - at the time of this film - in Fandango. Love the finale music in the film.

Grazie .mio cuore di musica grazie pat metyni😂❤..grazie fandango .di 30 anni fa.😢😊😅😅

이 곡 정말 사랑합니다 영화와는 상관없이 정말 좋아하는 곡이에요

I hope this doesn't come off weird but I had a dream about this movie. And this is a great movie no CGI just actual actors.

What's that saying... One moment in time. I will never forget.

It always remembers my first love and how it ends...

僕の中で最高の映画 そして最高の映画音楽

Still my favorite movie. It has a fan club!

That last kiss on the cheek was brutal... But hey. It's Kevin Costner. He'll get another date next week. Don't worry too much about him.

My buds and me left out on a 4 day trip to florida with Not much money or sense. We lived off Jacks burgers and cheap Beer. We forgot we were to be in Birmingham for the miss Alabama pagent Sunday night. But we showed up looking like the Beach Boys. 4 guys in a 1976 Rally sport with No care in the World.

Magic. Reminds me of my innocent fumbling with my first GF at high school on a mountain peak at midnight, hearing music wash over the sea from a close by island. All of my innocence it trapped by this music.

Here's to us by God.. to us.. and that.. and privileges of youth.. Here's to us and what we were .. ...and what we'll be.

The biggest mistake in his life. One that he will never forget results in his best friend being happy.

Pat il più grande.....

Love this.

A noi, a Dom e ai privilegi della gioventù! A quello che siamo e a quello che eravamo.... E a quello che saremo. »

Kevin Costner is a great dancer

You can really feel the passion between bride and best man but heartbreak happened and bride chose a different path. This dance was that last reminder of that passion though. Too bad best man messed it up otherwise he’d be the groom.

RIP Lyle Mays

Asem ah enake sakpore kye.

You started the video too late. The Pat Metheny music as the planes some down to land is awesome.

Anybody know what the name of this song is? Can’t find it anywhere.

Man I wish I was young again and in the Sigma Pi fraternity at the UM-Columbia in the late 70's, early 80"s.

such an underrated movie. from a silly, hilarious road movie, it becomes so rife with emotions at the end. one of the most treasured DVDs in my collection.

This was truly one of the greatest movies of all time. I've been to the DOM Rock and the old Rattlesnake Bomber Base outside Pyote, TX (where the Truman Sparks part of the movie was filmed). This ending scene will make you think years ago of the "one that got away." I really like how they were so caught up in the Fandango dance that everyone else completely disappeared. Do yourself a favor and take a road trip someday to west Texas (Monahans, Pyote, Fort Davis, Marfa, Alpine, Marathon, Terlingua, etc) and Big Bend National Park. It's beautiful, wild, and remote.

The music is such a great match for the scene, which is rife with symbolism: Amis plays Costner's ex-girlfriend who is now marrying instead his best friend. The newly-married couple's first dance is a clumsy affair which is then followed by Costner and Amis's flawless "fandango" performance. They clearly were meant to be together...but it's just not going to happen. It is this poignant moment of realization and regret that fuels so many fans' love for this movie. On a side note, Reynolds' overhead shot at 4:26 is magic and is one of my favorites ever.

Still one of the most underrated films ever. Always a go to film for me that always puts a smile on my face and a slight tear in my eyes. Brings back memories of youth gone by. Amazing soundtrack ❤

Most powerful scene in the movie. This scene and this song has stuck in my mind since I saw it 30 years ago. Thank you for your music...

In 2002 I was engaged to a girl and we loved this movie so much we took dance lessons to learn this dance so we could dance it at our wedding . I never go to dance that dance with her ,, but it has a whole new meaning to me now when my son was a little boy I would spin him around and teach him dancing and to this day when I say to him "Hey how about a fandango" he smiles and always says i love that song dad. just a great film with great music.

Costner's look at the end ... chills every time. Amazing film and soundtrack.

Great song. Great scene. And when he leans in to kiss her....hurts every time.

One of the most touching scenes I've ever seen and it wouldn't be so without Pat's music.

God this movie and this song work so well … amazing. It’s for You … is my favorite song … of all time ….as it somehow captures everyone’s past whether it’s college, a past love, a great memory, a bad memory, the birth of a baby, a death of a parent, great friend …. somehow it grinds your heart to remember all that is … and …. was great at one point in your life. And when they dance …. when I close my eyes …. I seem to remember my life … it unwinds my brain… the good and bad…. priceless as life is up and down. Great song, movie.

This movie will go down as one the best movies ever made. It really is underrated and unknown. Tarantino said he thinks it is the best debut of a director in the history of cinema and he watched it 4 times in the theater.

Saw this when I was 22, cried like a baby at the ending. Seen it twenty times since then, 53 now, still cry like a baby at the ending. "Have a nice life."

Magical, It is like a dream. When I think of this movie I always go back directly to this great scene.

How could Steven Spielberg disown this film? It was magical!

This scene was so bittersweet and beautiful, especially the final kiss. This was the perfect song for this moment.

Just heard on this day, Monday, February 10th, Lyle Mays passed away at 66 years of age due to illness. We will no longer hear new works from this deeply talented artist. Let's cherish what he and Pat Metheny accomplished together, miles and miles of beautiful music.

My beautiful hometown of San Elizario, Texas

Wasn’t the biggest fan of this movie overall but this scene is one of my favorites from any movie ever made. This and the last scene where he’s sitting alone while “Can’t Find my Way Home” is playing. Never tire of those scenes. Thanks for the great music.

Lost youth...lost friendship...infinite saddnes.Good reason to cry

Beautiful comments,from beautiful people, sharing the same beautiful views. God bless all

And to think Spielberg produced and disowned this film. He was so wrong. It’s great.

I watched this film in an empty theater in Burlington, Vermont in 1985. I watched this scene and started crying. At 23 years old, I wept for what I knew was my fading youth... This is a beautiful movie.

Super cool flick. I have watched this about 100 times and always , always love it. Is she stunning or what.

I didn't realize how great this movie was until I seen this scene perfecty paired with this score. I watched it over and over until the VHS tape broke. How it still tugs at your heart after over 30 years.

Great movie, very well acted, funny and romantic at the same time. I saw it back in 1991 and was struck by it, I immediately bought the VHS then, later on, the DVD. It touches all the aspects of life (love, friendship, youth) and how quickly you can loose all of them. Love the ending, very touching and sad, each one goes separate ways but it's the way it goes in life and it's fair the way it is...that's why this movie is a great movie.

If you've ever taken a long distance road trip with your college pals, this movie. Fandango, It's For You. A great-great film.

1985 I was 13 yrs old. Everyone watched "Breakfast Club" I watched Fandango

It's amazing how the screenwriter, director and actors worked together to tell an epic of love found, love lost and love rediscovered in another place -- without saying a word. The way she shook her head, then kissed him on the cheek... *My* heart hurts.

I discovered this movie at my local VHS rental store in 1987 and I must have watched it 50 times. I think in many ways this is Costner's best role - and this scene, with the lean in for the kiss, is his best scene ever. I could watch it 100 more times.

Puts a lump in your throat and a longing in your heart...ahhhh the memories!
