Alfie (2004) is a stylish remake of the 1966 classic, offering a modern take on the life and exploits of the titular character, played by Jude Law. The film follows Alfie, a charming and self-centered womanizer living in New York City, as he navigates a series of shallow relationships while avoiding deeper connections. Over time, his carefree lifestyle leads to introspection and the realization of the emotional consequences of his actions. Directed by Charles Shyer, the film blends humor and drama, exploring themes of love, responsibility, and self-discovery against the backdrop of a cosmopolitan cityscape.

The soundtrack of Alfie is a soulful and evocative complement to the film, featuring original songs by Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart. Tracks like "Old Habits Die Hard," which won a Golden Globe, and "Blind Leading the Blind" capture the emotional depth and complexity of Alfie's journey. The soundtrack also includes contributions from artists like Sheryl Crow, blending contemporary and classic styles to create a musical experience that mirrors the film's modern yet reflective tone. It is both a standalone artistic achievement and a vital part of the movie's narrative charm.
