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.Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

    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.

    "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.

    Bassie - good lookin' out, thanks!!

    That's as good a reason as any to start huntin' down their album (was there more than one?).
  • WoimsahWoimsah 1,734 Posts

    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.

    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 ...

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

    The hair-metal version of "Here Comes The Bride" by Queen on the Flash Gordon soundtrack.
