 Topic: Favourite Song Used In A Film
Posted: June 25 2005 at 19:08 |
Just watched Highlander (again) and was reminded that although I'm not a big Queen fan,their songs used in that film are excellent and very poignant.
So, I nominate "Who Wants To Live Forever" by Queen.
A brilliant rock track that really strikes a chord with me (sad man me genuinely wants to live forever) and works so well in the film itself.

Never been able to sit through that film despite the great soundtrack Snowy!
Not many films contain Prog music but Rush can be heard in "Small Soldiers" (Tom Sawyer)

Thats right, but isn't it a remix version?
How about "The Sound Of Silence" (or any song) from "The Graduate?

Well, I always loved Brand New Day from The Wiz. It works extremely well in the movie. Especially with the images of slaves being liberated.

I personally like Cousin Kevin off of The Who's Tommy film. It really does justice to the album version.

I just love all of Woody Allen's southern Jazz Band intro's ..always puts me in the mood for a great 90 minutes with the genius himself... gosh, I feel like watching the whole collection again, just thinking about it....

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I must agree with snob dog here, I think Flash is an overlooked Gem of progressive post punk Queen, not a very good album on the whole, but a lot of good moments through the film are carried by the music. (Flash theme, attack of the hawkmen, football fight, the hero) great album.
Also the sound of music has a great soundtrack (do a dear, a female dear )

Man of constant sorrows - Coen brothers movie 'O'brother Where Art Thou'
The Sirens song wasn't bad either
(Movie soundtrack - Gabriels Oboe from The Mission by Ennio Morricone is sublime and Theme from On Golden Pond)
and wasn't Bohemian Rhapsody in either Waynes World or Bill and Teds excellent adventures?

^ Yeah, the man of constant sorrow is a great track. Also, every song
by Jon Brion in "The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind" are great.

Gary Jules' cover version of 'Mad World' worked really well in Donnie Darko.
And of course Goblin's soundtracks to 'Deep Red' and 'Suspiria' were great.
