RECYCLED BOX OF CHOCOLATES

At first we thought the fast-selling Forrest Gump soundtrack was just a K-Tel- style guide through the decades. But now we see that the discs are actually - a greatest-hits package of other soundtracks. Here are some of the songs that have graced scores before: *B.J. Thomas ''Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head'' (Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid) * Willie Nelson ''On the Road Again'' (Honeysuckle Rose) * Three Dog Night ''Joy to the World'' (The Big Chill) * Harry Nilsson ''Everybody's Talkin''' (Midnight Cowboy) * The 5th Dimension ''Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In'' (Hair) * Simon & Garfunkel ''Mrs. Robinson'' (The Graduate) * Jefferson Airplane ''Volunteers'' (Woodstock) * The Doors ''Break on Through (to the Other Side)'' (The Doors) * Aretha Franklin ''Respect'' (More American Graffiti) * Creedence Clearwater Revival ''Fortunate Son'' (all Vietnam films)
