Catchy Music in Films

[juliejuliejulie]

Thread may sound a bit complicated lol but what i am meaning is songs that you like from films - can be songs themes ie goldfinger or a song in film.

Can be funny ones - for example i loved Grease Fims and know all the songs by heart but what about Grease 2
Favourite song from there is Reproduction *Hilarious*
2nd Song i like from a Film would be Xanadu with Olivia Newton John (which i found in the shops recently and bought and watched)
Im meaning offbeat films popular from the 70's and 80's

I love that song from Grease 2 Reproduction its brilliant
One of my favourites is from Short Circuit 2 "Holding out for a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler it always makes me cry but is brilliant all at the same time

One that comes to mind is prety in pink by The Phychedelic Furs from the film Prety In Pink ,dont know what come first the film or the song?. But it was a good song and the film wasn't bad.

There's a really sad song in 'We Were Soldiers'. It's called Sgt Mackenzie and is Scottish and about dying. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it

i love the soundtrack to Out of Sight... and Oceans 11 (and 12) ...the albums are produced by the same guy so they are similarly set out- parts of speech from the films etc

I also love the O Brother, Where Art Tho? soundtrack- bluegrass is kinda funky...and different

I've just realised that the films i mentioned are all George Clooney films...even tho he has nothing to do with the music.. purely coincidental ..or does 'the cloon' have some musical input? His aunt (possibly mother)was Rosemary Clooney right?

the song in ghostworld by the indian singer was used really well as was head over heels by tears for fears on the donnie darko soundtrack
