Use of a song or original....use-Tiny Dancer/Almost Famous maybe. Original... hmmm Stay was great from Reality Bites by Entys friend Lisa Loeb.So was Dont Wanna Fall In Love/Pump Up the Volume-Aaron Neville. Tough question
Probably Bitter Sweet Symphony from Cruel Intentions. Idk if its my favorite, or just the most memorable tome. Happened to have an interesting backstory I never knew about write up yesterday
Moon River, from Breakfast At Tiffany, which is also among my favorite movies. Audrey playing the guitar and singing it is particularly and uniquely lovely.
Runnerup for me is Urge Overkill's take on Neil Diamond's "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon", which just makes that brilliant Uma Thurman scene in "Pulp Fiction" that much better.
Singles soundtrack; Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? Soundtrack; Pulp Fiction; Saturday Night Fever; All the songs from Blues Brothers; Kingpin soundtrack...so many Disney songs, lots of Muppets (thanks whoever thought if those!), Lots of Bond stuff... "A Girl Like You" from Empire Records "Im Alright" Caddyshack
Im leaving out stage musicals that became movies, or id really be taking up space
Complete Soundtracks: Requiem for a Dream —also best song title with “Marion Barfs” Stranger Things Soundtrack The Music of Harry Potter and the accursed Child by Imogean Heap — look a tie in with yesterday’s question!!!!
Songs from Soundtracks that I pump to 11: Black Sheep by Metric ( Scott Pilgrim) The Perfect Drug by NIN ( The Lost Highway) New Version of You (Felicity Season 3 & 4 Theme Song)
Best of All Time: 'The Trio' from the Good, The Bad and the Ugly soundtrack, even better than Ecstasy of Gold or opening credits, you can really feel the tension of the scene...
Then: 'Respect The Wind' by Van Halen from the end of Twister and 'Gentle on my Mind' by Lucinda Williams from the end of Talladega Nights - can't buy as a standalone track on iTunes, would love to. 'Can't help falling in love with you' from the Snapper
I know I'll remember more as soon as I post but that's enough for now...
Rocky Horror Picture Show. Saturday Night Fever. Grease. Pick any song from any one of those. Hey, Caddyshack! Yeah, that too. That gopher was pure gold.
The power of love- Back to the future Cruel summer-Karate kid The time of my life-Dirty dancing All Footloose and Top Gun soundtracks The Dirt-The Dirt
So many good ones have already been mentioned. I'm going to add a favorite soundtrack of mine.... Next Stop Wonderland. This was my introduction to Bossa Nova, and have been listening to it ever since. Lovely movie as well.
So, so many to mention. I should give a special shoutout, though, to the faux-80's pop song that was written specifically for "Music & Lyrics", "Pop Goes My Heart". It was SO perfectly done and produced that it really could have been a huge hit in 1985. And Hugh Grant was perfect in the music video for it and in the movie as the washed up pop star. The video is well worth checking out on YouTube because they got everything *so* dead on.
A Song for You by Willie Nelson in Honeysuckle Rose...Into the Mystic by Van Morrison in the movie Immediate Family...In the City by the Eagles in the movie Urban Cowboy...the entire Purple Rain soundtrack, but the song Purple Rain, in particular...I'm Alright by Kenny Loggins from Caddyshack...I'm gonna agree with Tricia for this one, This Woman's Work by Kate Bush from She's Having A Baby...Moving In Stereo by The Cars in Fast Times at Ridgemont High...I'm also going to agree with whoever said Lunatic Fringe by Red Rider from Vision Quest...It's in the Way That You Use It by Eric Clapton from The Color of Money...
Anything not named Shallow👏
ReplyDeleteIn honor of the 50th anniversary of "Midnight Cowboy", I'll say "Everybody's Talkin'" by Nilsson

ReplyDeleteUse of a song or original....use-Tiny Dancer/Almost Famous maybe.
