  7. The Roxanne mashup from Moulin Rouge
    Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Diamonds are Forever
    The Pink Panther theme
    The Star Wars theme

    I could go on.

    As far as soundtracks go, the 1998 Avengers movie with Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, and Sean Connery is outstanding. The movie- not so much.

    1. Every time I hear "I Melt With You" I think of that movie, which I love!

    2. Yessssss! If you never downloaded it-get The Primroses “AMillion Miles Away”-you will like be back in the scene with Nic Cage!

  12. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Probably "Uninvited" by Alanis Morrissette. But ask me in an hour and it'd probably be something else.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Holiday Road by Lindsey Buckingham, Live and Let Die, Don't you forget about me. Blow and Gross Point Blank soundtracks.

    ReplyDelete
  15. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Too many

    but if i i have to chose just one, Father and Son, from Rock Boat( and ANATHEMA To anyone that says From Guardians of the GAlaxy )

  38. 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...

  58. 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.
