Author Topic: Songs that Rock Chris Byrne Expert Film Handler Posts: 102 From: Kirwan, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 01-31-2003 09:01 PM                     I was just thinking of some classic film songs that I think helped to make the film. Can anyone top this TOP 5. 1. Cry Little Sister / LOST BOYS 2. My Heart Will Go On / TITANIC 3. Goo Goo Dolls song from CITY of ANGELS 4. Danger Zone / TOP GUN 5. Gangsta's Paradisew / DANGEROUS MINDS. 1  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-31-2003 10:04 PM                     The entire soundtrack for American Graffiti.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-31-2003 10:20 PM                        The entire "Highlander" soundtrack by Queen.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 02-01-2003 02:36 AM                        The soundtracks of: Footloose 8 Mile Waking Ned Devine (im a sucker for bag pipes)  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 02-01-2003 02:40 AM                        And, of course, John Williams` score for Star Wars. While there is no film "song", the entire soundtrack is extremely distinctive and had many remembered themes. The opening title alone is practically a "film song".  |  IP: Logged Lance C.

It was the heart and soul of that movie. Philadelphia had a lot of good songs including the one by Neil Young. But the Springsteen one became pretty popular. Say Anything and Peter Gabriel's In yOur Eyes. No elaboration needed.  |  IP: Logged Jacob Huber Expert Film Handler Posts: 172 From: Evansville, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-01-2003 06:46 PM                     Still a really big fan of 'Summer Overture' from Requiem for a Dream.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Mehocic Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 804 From: New Castle, PA, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-01-2003 07:50 PM                     The sound track to 1991's "The Doors" including the Atlanta Symphany Orchestra's version of Carmina Bruna.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-02-2003 12:25 AM                     Hmmm Heavy Metal had a great rockin soundtrack albumn. If you are into classical...2001: A Space Odyssey is great...considering not a single "tune" for that film was written for it yet they are all now associated with that film as if they were. FAME certainly had a great soundtrack. Flashdance Many James Bond films had great theme songs, Live and Let Die, For Your Eyes Only, The Spy Who Loved Me, A View to a Kill...all come to mind. HELP! and A HARD DAYS NIGHT certainly were great Rock Soundtracks that were also Gold Albumns in their own right TOMMY, a Rock Opera with The Who certainly would qualify. Those that loved Queen would certainly like the FLASH GORDON soundtrack THE BLUES BROTHERS had a GREAT soundtrack I suppose I could go on but...those came immediately to mind.

Leonard Cohen opens up the album. Pulp Fiction revived the use of 60s, 70s songs in a trendy way. Weird Science- the title song by the Danny Elfman led Oingo Boingo. The Bodyguard : well if we are going to be including titanic song, then like it or not, one is going to have to bring up the whitney houston song. Ghostbusters Whos That Girl: the music video doesn't give you an indication of how truly wretched this movie is. That THing You do: great title song. boring movie  |  IP: Logged Gracia L.

Queen rocks! [ 02-03-2003, 01:24 AM: Message edited by: Gracia L. Babbidge ]  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-02-2003 10:41 AM                     Didn't I already add FLASH GORDON to the list about 4 posts ago? And THAT THING YOU DO was not boring...it was a wonderful film that certainly captured a feeling of its era. Steve  |  IP: Logged
