Songs We Loved In The Movies

in General Discussion

Everyone has a collection of favorite songs they've heard in the movies, films, cinema, etc. I thought I'd start a thread where we share some of our favorites with each other. Who knows, maybe we'll hear something we haven't seen before.

I'll start the thread off with an all-time classic.

@Rob Edwards oh most definitely! Which one is your favorite? Mine is always going to be the first one, but the second one wasn't too bad.

Wow, Adam! Great guess! 😂 Strange I've never heard of the film, but I did watch a clip from the film and it looks like the found the perfect person to play the lead role. He really does look like a vampire, lol. Either that or the make up department is just doing their job.

@Shen Friebe nothing like throwing on a bit of eye liner and powdering the face to get that creepy teenager vibe. 😆

I just have to share this one because it is an absolute classic 80s film. Let's see if you can all figure out which film it is in without cheating.

@Shen Friebe Sorry, both guesses are wrong, but I like giving three guesses, so if you want to take another shot at it...

@Ken Merchant I actually did a quick Google search after I commented and couldn't find anything! I'll be curious to know where it's from. I'll take advantage of my third guess and say The Breakfast Club..?

@Shen Friebe nice guess, but that one isn't it either. It is actually My Best Friend Is A Vampire. They do a little montage when the main character begins transitioning into his new lifestyle.

For me it has to be these two from Back to the Future, which is an all time favourite of mine! Great idea for a thread @Ken Merchant

@Adam we must always appreciate the power of love for the classics, am I right? Back To The Future is by far one of my most favorite 80s films ever. I loved those short films you shared once before that had you and some friends in it, the ones that were based loosely on BTTF. They were absolutely hilarious.

@Rob Edwards I love the Stones! By far one of my favorite bands from that time. Do you remember when Mick and Bowie performed this together?

Here are some of my favourite songs from cinema:

Karen O's cover of 'Immigrant Song' (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (US)... it's worth watching the opening credits with the song!):

'Chapel of Love' by The Dixie Cups (Full Metal Jacket):

'Breathe' by The Prodigy (Charlie's Angels 2(?) Full Throttle):

'Don't Let It Bring You Down' by Annie Lennox (American Beauty)

'Don't Think' by The Chemical Brothers (Black Swan):

Last but certainly not least: a bit of the ol' Ludwig Van (9th Symphony) from 'A Clockwork Orange' (if symphonies count as songs):

And because it's the festive season, an honourable mention goes to this banger from Home Alone 2: 'Cool Jerk' by The Capitols

These are quite an eclectic selection of songs.. went everywhere from opera horror, trash metal, punk core, classic, soft pop, and funk. I'm afraid I've heard none of these songs enough times to easily remember them, but the Home Alone one I definitely remember.
