Author Topic: Songs that Rock Brad Haven Master Film Handler Posts: 300 From: fremantle, West Australia Registered: Aug 2001 posted 02-02-2003 11:01 AM                     Even though Chris asked for songs that helped make the film, i can only add that the entire soundtrack of DREAM WITH THE FISHES and O'BROTHER WHERE ART THOU were just incredible, both of these soundtracks opened me up to unexpected areas of music that i am now obsessed with.  |  IP: Logged John Spooner Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: South Australia, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 02-02-2003 11:07 AM                     What about the incredible scene in "Apocalypse Now", where the helicopters fly over and bomb the vc village, while doing so, Wagners "Flight Of the Valkiries" is played. John Spooner.

What might even be better is the version of it that found it's way into the final Two Towers trailer....wow. The piano ballad cover of Tears for Fears "Mad World" in Donnnie Darko The musical segments that feature The Kinks, The Who and The Rolling Stones from Rushmore are all amazing. In fact, I can think of very few people who can find ways to use songs so perfectly as Wes Anderson The score from Shawshank Redemption Great use of Simple Minds "Don't You Forget About Me" during the fianl scene of the Breakfast Club, cheesy as it might be. The music from the final showdown in "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly"  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 02-02-2003 05:03 PM                     quote: 4. Danger Zone / TOP GUN "Danger Zone" may have been a big radio and MTV hit but I'd hardly say it "made the movie." I think "Take My Breath Away" or the "Top Gun Anthem" had a more memorable and effective presence in the movie than "Danger Zone," a song featured in the movie for barely a minute. I'll be the first to admit that Top Gun was a rather lame movie (but a guilty pleasure). If you ask me, the "star" of the movie was the overall sound mix, appreciated best in a 70mm six-track presentation (for which there were many). Speaking of Tom Cruise movies, I thought Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock And Roll" was memorable in Risky Business.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-02-2003 06:58 PM                     About last night Fame Rockey Horror pict Show all but the latest bond American Graffiti Almost all the Beach party films Back to the Beacjh Death in Venice Solyent Green and my favorite muscials Sound of Music South Pacific and Paint your Wagon  |  IP: Logged Martin Brooks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 900 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 02-02-2003 07:17 PM                        Two musical films (rather than other genres where a song played a key role): The Commitments Standing In The Shadows of Motown Drama with great soundtrack: Mean Streets (Scorcese)  |  IP: Logged Chris Markiewicz Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: Glenaviegh, County Tipperary, Ireland Registered: Aug 2002 posted 02-02-2003 07:47 PM                     The soundtrack to Grosse Point Blank.  |  IP: Logged Kara J. McVay Film Handler Posts: 95 From: Delaware, OH Registered: May 2002 posted 02-02-2003 07:50 PM                        Gordon, "It's astounding time is fleeting madness takes it's toll but listen closly not for very much longer............" You just had to mention RHPS I agree also that "Lost Boys" had a great soundtrack. I remember turning the sound way up during the credits and just rocking.  |  IP: Logged Chris Byrne Expert Film Handler Posts: 102 From: Kirwan, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 02-04-2003 08:12 PM                     You couldn't pass on the Brave Heart sound track either. Also 'Loser' was a shite film, but its Sound Track rocked. Michael, 'Take My Breath Away' is one of my favourite songs, but 'Danger Zone' signified the adventure. Whether you like the film or not ... it was the eighties!  |  IP: Logged Darren Crimmins Expert Film Handler Posts: 130 From: Dallas, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-04-2003 10:08 PM                     In addition to the Wagner bit of "Apocalypse Now", the opening and ending scenes of the movie play The Doors, "The End". Those two songs made the movie for me.  |  IP: Logged
