Goldmember Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 off the top of head cant really think of any...liked dawn of the dead's use of "the man comes around" by cash. also like carl orff's "o fortuna" which don't remember if it has been a theme song in movies but has been featured prominently in some. most anything by hans zimmer.

Texsox Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Suicide is Painless from M*A*S*H At the end of Heroes, they played Carry on Wayward Son by Kansas. It is easily the best use of an existing song in a movie I have ever heard. Inexplicably, the cheap asses at the studio dropped the song from the DVD version of the movie. Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreaming I can hear them say Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hmm I guess there's a difference between a movie theme and a prominent song that seems to represent a movie. If we take both into account I love Little Green Bag in Reservoir Dogs Woke Up This Morning in The Sopranos Not Going to Stop by Aimee Mann in Magnolia Theme de Camille in Contempt Mystic River theme composed by Clint Eastwood those are just a few of the top of my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowerCaseRepublican Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Little Green Bag in Reservoir Dogs Life is Brief in Ikiru And I have to give a shout to Partyman by Prince in Batman (it is during the scene where Joker (Nicholson) takes over the museum and they start destroying it -- "Gentlemen, let's broaden our minds!"

Wedge Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I'll second Suicide is Painless. The classics: Chariots of Fire Ghostbusters Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Top Gun And I'll throw in the theme from GI Joe the Movie, just to be different.

Yoda Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I'd have a pretty big list if I were to take my time, but here are a few that I can think of as of right now: Star Wars Terminator 2 The Untouchables The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly ... man, I know there's a lot more out there...

hammerhead johnson Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 "Escape From New York" comes to mind immediately. Also, "Young Guns Pt. II" with the Jon Bon Jovi theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) Also, "Young Guns Pt. II" with the Jon Bon Jovi theme. Harley Davidson and the Marlborough Man also features the Bon Jovi song, "Dead or Alive," which I believe was written specifcally for that movie. To whoever said 2001, you realize that was a classical concerto first, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Halloween - Unmistakable toon there...love to hear it, people cringe when they hear that. John Carpenter's great work Oceans 11 - Matter of fact, I LOVE all the music in Oceans 11. Great sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Listening to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony] Alex: Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures! Not all of the choices have been songs written specifically for the particular movies, and yes, I do realize that. I just really like how the music and the images were put together in 2001.

Kid Gleason Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 John Carpenter has always been great, and I loved how Ennio Morricone took the Carpenter style for Carpenters The Thing. The whole soundtrack for Let Sleeping Corpses Lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
