Author Topic: The song: What A Wonderful World... John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 07-15-2004 02:18 AM                     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.  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-15-2004 04:02 AM                        bowling for columbine. carl  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

That actually is my favorite version of the song. -adam  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

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.  |  IP: Logged Mike Pennell Expert Film Handler Posts: 150 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Apr 2003 posted 07-15-2004 09:36 PM                     Wasn't it in 12 Monkeys as well? Yep, just checked. It plays during the end credits  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
