	Movies - Cherry 2000

Cherry 2000 is a science fiction feminist film made in 1987. The film is about Sam Treadwell's (David Andrews) search for the perfect sex machine, the "Cherry 2000" android, enlisting E. (Edith) Johnson (Melanie Griffith), a tough pathfinding tracker who guides him into the interior of America's post-apocalyptic wasteland. Pamela Gidley plays the titular role of Cherry 2000.

Soundtrack

Cherry 2000 is probably most widely known for the original score by Basil Poledouris, and the status of the CD as a collectors' item. The soundtrack CD was the first Varèse Sarabande CD Club title. Only 1500 copies were made, and were originally sold by mail-order for US$12. It became a highly valued collectible, one copy selling for $2500, many claiming that to have been the most ever paid for a copy of a film soundtrack. For becoming such a famous collectors' item, the packaging for this edition of the CD was surprisingly very poorly done. The track list had the incorrect length printed for the last two tracks, and two tracks were missing from the track list entirely.

In 2004, Prometheus Records acquired the rights to the score and made it available in a double package with another Poledouris score, that of the film No Man's Land. The Prometheus Records edition features more tracks than the Varèse Sarabande edition, as well as all the tracks being listed and with the correct length.
