Louis Armstrong's song: What A Wonderful World. It was highly remembered in Good Morning Vietnam, but someone asked me the other day if I could remember the more recent film where it ran over the closing credits. I don't think I ever ran this film so couldn't help, but perhaps someone else here remembers?

Thanks.

It seems to be a popular song for films...Witness and Animal House come immediately to mind.

Bowling for Columbine uses the Louie Armstrong version in the film, and the Ramones version over the closing credits.

There was also a "what a wonderful world" / "over the rainbow" medley over the closing credits of Finding Forrester with Sean Connery. That actually is my favorite version of the song.

Thanks everyone so far, but we need to go back a bit further...maybe prior to 1995?

Steve, wrong song. You are thinking of Wonderful World by Sam Cooke (Don't know much about history, don't know much biology etc.)...another great song (used to exceptionally fine effect in Witness, but this is Louis Armstrong's classic. (I see trees of green, red roses too etc.)

Anyhow...keep thinking guys.

Wasn't it in 12 Monkeys as well? [Confused]

Yep, just checked. It plays during the end credits [beer]

Thanks Mike

I'll ask to see if that was it.
