Well of course there is this:
Devil Rejects - Free Bird

Shaun of the Dead/ Queen- Dont stop me now

Fear and Loathing/ Dead Kennedys - Viva Las vegas

Dawn of the Dead Remake / Johnny Cash - When the man comes around

There is a lot more but these are the most memorable.

All good films there, im liking the films
posted here on this thread so far...

Those I feel are quite fitting for the movies.

In Shaun of the Dead you have the great UK band the Specials too...

Sometimes there is that perfect music for a great movie and then other times they get the music all wrong which either ruins the scene or the movie..I like this thread F for you.

Great thread, DenverBuddy! S&F

just to show you that even bad boys have a heart
too and my personal favourite and a must watch film...

In May 1972, college theater student Richard Collier (Christopher Reeve) is celebrating the debut of a play he has written. During the celebration, he is approached by an elderly woman who places a pocket watch in his hand and pleads "come back to me". Richard does not recognize the woman, who returns to her own residence and dies soon afterward. Eight years later, Richard is a successful playwright living in Chicago, but has recently broken up with his girlfriend and is struggling with writer's block. Feeling stressed from writing his play, he decides to take a break and travels out of town to the Grand Hotel. While looking at a display in the hotel's museum, Richard becomes enthralled by a photograph of a beautiful woman. With the assistance of Arthur Biehl (Bill Erwin), an old bellhop who has been at the hotel since 1910, Richard discovers that the woman is Elise McKenna (Jane Seymour), a famous early 20th century stage actress. Upon digging deeper, Richard learns that she was the aged woman who gave him the pocket watch eight years earlier. Traveling to McKenna's home, he discovers a music box she had made, in the shape of the Grand Hotel, that plays his favorite melody. He also discovers among her effects a book on time travel written by his old college professor, Dr. Gerard Finney (George Voskovec), and learns that McKenna read the book several times. Richard becomes obsessed with the idea of traveling back to 1912 and meeting Elise McKenna, with whom he has fallen in love. Visiting Finney, Richard learns that the man believes that he himself very briefly time traveled once to 1571 through the power of self-suggestion. To accomplish this feat of self-hypnosis, Finney tells Richard, one must remove from sight all things that are related to the current time and trick the mind into believing that one is in the past. He also warns that such a process would leave one very weak, perhaps dangerously so. Richard buys an early 20th century suit and some vintage money and cuts his hair in a time-appropriate style. Dressing himself in the suit, he removes all modern objects from his hotel room and attempts to will himself into the year 1912 using tape-recorded suggestions, only to fail for lack of real conviction. Later, while searching the hotel's attic, Richard finds an old guest book from 1912 with his signature in it and realizes that he will eventually succeed. Richard again hypnotizes himself, this time with the tape recorder hidden under the bed, and allows his absolute faith in his eventual success to become the trigger for the journey back through time. He drifts off to sleep and awakens to the sound of whinnying horses on June 27, 1912. Richard looks all over the hotel for Elise, even meeting Arthur as a little boy, but he has no luck finding her. Finally, he stumbles upon Elise walking by a tree near the lake. She seems to swoon slightly at the sight of him, but then suddenly asks him if he is "the one". McKenna's manager, William Fawcett Robinson (Christopher Plummer), abruptly intervenes and sends Richard away. Richard stubbornly continues to pursue Elise until she finally agrees to accompany him on a stroll through the surrounding idyllic landscape. Richard ultimately asks why Elise wondered aloud if he was "the one". She replies that Robinson somehow knows that she will meet a man one day who will change her life forever. Richard then shows Elise the same pocket watch which she will eventually give him in 1972, but he does not reveal its origin, merely saying it was a gift. Richard accepts Elise's invitation to her play, where she recites an impromptu monologue dedicated to him. During intermission, he finds her posing formally for a photograph. Upon spotting Richard, Elise breaks into a radiant smile, the camera capturing the image which Richard first saw of her 68 years later. Afterwards, Richard receives an urgent message from Robinson requesting a meeting. Robinson tries to get Richard to leave Elise, saying it is for her own good. When Richard professes his love for her, Robinson has him tied up and locked in the stables. Later, Robinson tells Elise that Richard has left her and is not the one, but she disbelieves him, stating that she loves Richard. Richard wakes up the next morning and escapes his constraints. He runs to Elise's room and finds that her party has left. Despondent, he goes out to the hotel's porch. Suddenly, he hears Elise calling his name and sees her running towards him. They return to his room together and make love. The next morning they agree to marry. Elise tells him that the first thing she will do for him is buy him a new suit, since the one he has been wearing is about fifteen years out of date. Richard begins to show her how practical the suit is because of its many pockets. He is alarmed when he reaches

into one and finds a Lincoln penny with a mint date of 1979. Seeing an item from his real present wrenches him out of his hypnotically-induced time trip, and Richard feels himself rushing backwards with Elise screaming his name in horror as he is pulled inexorably out of 1912. Richard then wakes up back in the present. He is drenched in sweat and very weak, apparently exhausted from his trip through time and back. He scrambles desperately back to his own room and tries to hypnotize himself again, without success. Heartbroken and after wandering around the hotel property and sitting interminably at the places where he spent time with Elise, he eventually retires to his room and remains there unmoving for days until discovered by Arthur and the hotel manager; they send for a doctor and paramedics. Richard suddenly smiles and sees himself drifting above his body and, having presumably died of a broken heart, is drawn to a light shining through the nearby window, where he is reunited with Elise.

My dads favourite film before he died and i suppose it reminds him of himself unable
to find his way back at the time when he was alive to my mums heart..

peace.

As someone else mentioned, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly has an amazing soundtrack.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World has some great original music. It's so good, I'm angry Sex Bob-Omb isn't a real band and I haven't been able to find anything like them.



Repo Man has a tremendous soundtrack filled with '80s LA punk. Has an original theme by Iggy Pop.



Drive had some good kind of electronica (I guess that's what it is) stuff, which I'm usually not into. This, however, is my favorite song from the movie.



Going into it, I didn't know that the original Wicker Man was kind of a pagan sex musical mystery. I'm glad it was.



And finally, from one of the greatest musicals

I love this movie, the soundtrack was beautiful...

Great pick!!!!!

For me, it's this one:


A good movie but not one of my all time favorites., The song however makes my soul sing even though this isn't really the type of music I typically like.

There's not enough bandwidth to post my choices... and I am too techno-stupid to do so even if there was.

However, to enjoy my choices... just watch the movies...

Good Fellas.. the entire soundtrack

Forest Gump... ditto

Joe Dirt... mucho mas ditto

My all time favorite that always sends chills up my spine...

"Ride of the Valkaries" by Richard Wagner in Apocolypse Now... the music with the AirCav blowing that village all to hell is a total rush in wide open stereo video...

Super thread Denver,
Great idea I love being able to put musical taste
behind the member names.

For me it's
AMADEUS music by Mozart
and LOST IN TRANSLATION music by My Bloody Valentine
