Ash

Someone else actually recalls/likes these guys? I saw them open for Stabbing Westward in '96 and got hooked, but other than "Goldfinger" and "Girls From Mars", they never really had anything that stood out or got major airplay around here.

"Burn Baby Burn" got a little airplay a few years ago. Their new album Meltdown is great

[Guest darealdeal21]

'whhop that trick' hustle & flow. Its not my FAVORITE, but the only one i can think of off the top of my head that i lieek. i dont really listen to many soundrtacks.

if i ever made a movie, i'd have all 11:20 of sad eyes lady of low lands in the middle. no part cut out. the entire song. so people can actually understand why bob dylan was the bestest song writer in the history of allkind.

Andy Williams - Happy Heart

 

It plays at the end of Shallow Grave. The scene and the song are magical.

Ash is pretty fine when they're good. Intergalactic Sonic 7"s is all I need from them, but it's worth having.

 

"Layla" in Goodfellas is #1, but Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" in Trainspotting is way up there too.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Trainspotting ranks up there in my favorite soundtracks of all time, easily. Eno, Reed, Blur, New Order and of course "Born Slippy".

going way back here...I don't know the name of the song, but it's the guitar instrumental that plays during the final moments of La Bamba following the announcement of the plane crash...really holds the somber mood in place...for some odd reason that last part chokes me up everytime...

Zamfir - 'The Lonely Shepard' (Kill Bill Vol. 1)

 

I fucking hated that film yet the last tune into the credits was amazing.

[Nighthawk 0]

I'm surprised at no Superfly. Almost any song from that could qualify, I bet that's the best soundtrack ever. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd say... "Pusherman".

"I Put a Spell On You" from Lost Highway was pretty good and is still one of my favorite covers.

[MillenniumMan831 0]

I'll take anything from Spinal Tap.

[Henry Spencer 0]

The original I Put A Spell On You was put to fine use in Stranger Than Paradise.

 

I also like the use of Jesse's Girl by Rick Springfield in Boogie Nights.

[Black Lushus 0]

I don't know the exact title, but the Stones song that goes "time is on my side, yes it is" used in the movie Fallen to signal which body the evil spirit hopped onto was good...

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

I'd throw a nod to Terry Reid's Seed of Memory from The Devils Rejects soundtrack.

[notJames 0]

"Don't You Forget About Me" - Simple Minds (The Breakfast Club)

"In Your Eyes" - Peter Gabriel (Say Anything)

"Pretty In Pink" - Psychedelic Furs (Pretty In Pink)

"Somebody's Baby" - Jackson Browne (Fast Times At Ridgemont High)

 

When I hear those songs, I immediately think of those movies.

Why has no one posted "Eye of the Tiger" from the Rocky movies soundtrack???

[Black Lushus 0]

Getting Strong Now (or whatever it's called) pisses on Eye Of The Tiger...

Shakedown by Bob Seger from Beverly Hills Cop II

 

Also, Take My Breath Away from Top Gun was a classic (I prolly should have my Guy Card suspended for this), of course Jessica Simpson shit all over it 17 years later.

[Black Lushus 0]

I forgot Simpson did that remake...wow she really can fuck some classics up can't she? (i.e. Boots Are Made For Walkin')

[nl5xsk1 0]

The first two songs that popped into my head have already been named:

 

Playground Love (AIR) from Virgin Suicides

Mad World (Gary Jules covering Tears for Fears) from Donnie Darko

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

The whole Purple Rain soundtrack, but the Superfly soundtrack is also very good. Glad I'm not the only one who owns it. I actually have the special two disc edition, but I haven't heard the second one yet.

That was Bob Seger?

 

Gonna Fly Now was the tune from Rocky.

Worth the price for the instrumental of "Freddie's Dead" alone. No surprises, I mean, that was the version in the movie. The vocal version isn't even close to bad, but the instrumental is just too cool.

[k thx 0]

I loved the use of Sigur Ros's song at the end of Vanilla Sky.

 

Also, the Amelie soundtrack rocks.

"About Her"-Macolm McLaren

(Theme from Kill Bill Vol.2)

The Cramps-The Surfin' Dead (Return of the Living Dead)

The Pretty Things-'Cause I'm a Man (Dawn of the Dead-Original)

Richard Cheese-Down with the Sickness (Dawn of the Dead-Remake)

Just about anything from "A Mighty Wind"

Lou Reed-My Name is Mok (Rock and Rule)

Hey, that was gonna be mine, and I just gave myself the Royal Tenenbaums sig and everything. It's even playing during the scene.

Don't forget about Night Ranger's "Sister Christian" at the coke dealer's house in Boogie Nights as well.
