Great songs from great Movies/Soundtracks!

I've always loved hearing Bloodstone-Natural High in this film, but the entire soundtrack fits great... when jackson gets chris tucker into the trunk aka bomont livingston, and he drops on the brothers johnson strawberry letter 23... shit is classic.

Nilsson "Everybody's Talkin'" from Midnight Cowboy

such a grainy rawdawg film

I love that joint in Revenge of the Nerds when they're painting the house. The robot pitches in, etc. It seems a lot of 80s movies have that montage scene where the principal characters work on some sort of "project" while upbeat motivational music plays. Someone oughtta make a mixtape of all those jawns.

Nilsson - Jump into the Fire from Goodfellas

"Lets Stay Together," and others in Pulp Fiction, is an obvious one.

Theres a ray barretto song from 'charanga moderna' (i think) that plays in 'mean streets' that really sets the mood of them creeping through the streets.

great song, great soundtrack, great movie

"OPEN YOUR EYES!!.....(ding, ding, dingding....ding)

Oh my god I can't beleive what they did to that old house. Isn't that amazing Stan?
Yea well it won't be amazing for long. What are you looking at nerd?!?!?! Huh??!?!

Thought I was looking at my mothers old douche bag but that's in Ohio.

bassie

Oh yea, The Yardbirds playing in Blow-up, The Circle Jerks playing in Repo Man, Yo La Tengo playing in I Shot Andy Warhol...it's full of good stuff, but particularily good is The Emotions singing in church in Wattstax

Bassie - good lookin' out, thanks!!

That's as good a reason as any to start huntin' down their album (was there more than one?).

Woimsah

Yea - I like romance and shit. Call me herbert till you can't no mo - but I think this is one of the best love songs of all time. I catch feelings everytime I see this montage. Won't work the same for a lot of yall - I'm guessing - as I literally grew up just down the street from everywhere in this shit....Dupars most importantly (where they meet for lunch here.....and where they pull Diggler from in Boogie Nights).

Ever see the movie That'll Be The Day, where somebody brings home a Buddy Holly album, but when they put it on the player, out comes Ritchie Valens' "Donna"? (This wasn't part of the plot, just a colossal behind-the-scenes fuckup...)

Carlito's Way (and countless other movies no doubt) has sloppy soundtrack mistakes, too - disco songs in scenes that were not even out yet for when the movie was set, which I think was '74 or so...

On a related note: ever see the movie Thank God It's Friday where Ray Vitte's disco DJ character puts a MOTOWN album in a CASABLANCA sleeve (it was a Meco album if I remember correctly)?

Back to the thread topic:
The Blues Brothers, where we see Dan Akroyd spinning a Louis Jordan 78 on Decca ("Let The Good Times Roll") while John Belushi dozes off...(And later in the same movie, we see both men outrunning the cops while The Best Of Sam & Dave plays on the 8-track..."Soothe Me" and "Hold On, I'm Coming.")

This movie + soundtrack = fantastic combination! I love when they jam out with Ray Charles on the piano.

are the divshares not playing for anyone else either or is it just me?

All kinds of good things are banned at my work, so I'm not a good gauge, but there is a lot of white screen for me in this thread.

Not just this thread, but I've seen this white space pop up intermittently in the other threads as well.

I like the Scarface soundtrack -
specifically how it makes me like
music I probably wouldn't otherwise ...
I mean, that "Push It To the Limit" song
is pure Frank Stallone-esque 80's OST cheese,
but somehow it really grew on me ... I have
a dope 12" of the Deborah Harry "Rush Rush (Give
Me Ya-Yo)" song, taken from the soundtrack, with
a Scarface picture sleeve ...

bassie

I like the Scarface soundtrack -

Well, I guess it was bound to happen - we were going to disagree on something music-related one of these days...
