Find the version of "Girl from Ipanema" by the Brazilian organist Walter Wanderley! Love how he makes that smooth rhythm become nervous and fractured!!
"Theme from a Summer Place" is one of those special songs from childhood that always reminds me of driving to the High Sierra to visit my grandpa. Same with the classic version of "Perfidia," but that's a vocal song.
Some "Now Sound" records from the 60's have some odd appeal. Paul Mauriat rearranged a lot of youth-oriented pop/rock radio hits into smooth music for squares. His records are very consistent.
For kitschy instros otherwise, why not Raymond Scott?
There also much Italian film music on the reissue scene. Riz Ortolani is my fave.
