Music and movies

HEY JUDE will always be ROYAL TENENBAUMS to me now. That fabulous opening sequence pops into my head every time I hear that song.

Stuck in the Middle With You - I knew the song before the movie, but forever it will be associated now with Resevoir Dogs.

TINY DANCER in ALMOST FAMOUS. The bus scene. Sing-along. Every time I hear it.

PROCLAIMERS' 500 MILES in BENNY & JOON.

Oh I love that Scene and I also always think of that movie when I hear the song.

The Very Thought of You. Billy Holiday - Forever Young.

In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel = the boom-box scene in Say Anything. :swoon:

Ditto!
And for Star Wars, the song that goes
Bom baaah! bada da DAAA Daaaaa....

The End: Apocalypse Now when Martin Sheen is freaking out in his room in the beginning of the movie.

Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum - the Bill Paxton scene in Apollo 13 where they think they're being broadcast on TV back on earth.

I don't watch a lot of movies, but the music is often a very important part for me.

There's a scene in "Good Morning, Viet Nam" where the popular-among-the-troops DJ (played by Robin Williams) has quit. He's out and about, and a soldier recognizes him and says how much he enjoyed the show and misses it. The DJ asks his name, and he says "Private Tim O'Mally" or some such.

Later the DJ decides to go back on the air with his famous "Good Morning, VietNam" signon, and he introduces the first song with "This goes out to Private Tim O'Mally", as he plays the record (this clip is in Italian, but gives the idea):

It's not just a nice (maybe even syrruppy) song, I thought it was touching that he remembered the soldier's name.

Where I Find My Heaven -- Gigolo Aunts, from the sequence in Dumb and Dumber when Lloyd and Harry are on the final leg of their trip to Aspen. Lots of tunes from that soundtrack remind me of the movie whenever I hear them, but I really like that song in particular.

Perfect Day -- Hoku, from the opening of Legally Blonde. Great pop song to begin with, and it instantly makes me picture Elle carrying Bruiser around.

I just went to get this - how coincidental.

I Say a Little Prayer in My Best Friend's Wedding.

I love those scenes where everybody bursts into song. I'm a very sappy person.
