Really? Ghost World is a great movie, well worth checking out. Pretty funny but also pretty sad story about a lonely, nerdy collector of obscure vinyl (Steve Buscemi) who is befriended by a snotty high school kid (Thora Birch) and the subsequent rift between her and her best friend (Scarlett Johansson). Based on the indie comic by Daniel Clowes and directed by Terry Zwigoff (Bad Santa, Crumb, Art School Confidential).

Ahem... anyway, the soundtrack is a mixed bag of everything from Bollywood to punk rock but most of it, and what Odyshape is asking about, is the very old, obscure delta blues that Steve Buscemi's character collects the 78s of.
