Hello Stackers!
Femmes Fatales is in our rear view mirror (for now 😉) our next stop on our weekly musical tour is Movies!
So let's hear them! Your favourite pieces of music in movies. Movie soundtracks, credits songs, atmospheric pieces all of it.
Today I submit for your listening pleasure. From the transformers movie. Linkin Park - What I've done.
Talk Music. Share Tracks. Zap Sats.
Son of a Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield
Pulp Fiction soundtrack
view on www.youtube.comThis is the point in the movie where shit gets crazy for Travolta and Uma, which I can't relate to, but I always loved this song.
The ultimate cinematic masterpiece👍
I dunno, you seen Villeneuve's dune and dune part 2 yet? That's up there for me at the moment. (Largely because I'm a huge dune fan).
Not yet, I'm not much of a movie person, I prefer TV series. But I checked the ratings on IMDb and they're impressive, 8 and 9 stars respectively. I might watch it next weekend. Thanks for the suggestion!
If you've read the books it's very good. And if you haven't, so long as you watch number 1 first (it's on netflix I believe) you'll know enough to get by.
I always loved this track. The smoothness of the bass, she's got a little bit of a smokey voice and it's lovely, like a smooth Cuban tobacco. 😍 Love it.
This one is very good, but this one is excellent! :)
view on www.youtube.comThis is what I think of when I think pulp fiction. Iconic track.
i'm the same :)

These songs fall kind of in between the two camps. The film Honeymoon in Vegas yielded an amazing soundtrack album. I went out and bought this, its fantastic. The film starred Nic Cage, Sara Jessica Parker & James Caan. The soundtrack was Elvis cover versions by some of the biggest stars, so old songs but reworked.
Travis Tritt - Burning LoveTravis Tritt - Burning Love
Travis absolutely rocking it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4zX5cfcv9o
Billy Joel - All Shook UpBilly Joel - All Shook Up
Billy Joel sounding more Elvis than Elvis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_pno3Q0jvc
Haha 😂 more Elvis than Elvis. Yeah I can hear that, sounds like if Elvis were to rerecord with better tech. Top tier versions aswell.
Yeah, Billy absolutely nails it, so good. There's some other beauts in the album. John Mellancamp's Jailhouse Rock is really cool
Oooooo that's fun. Yeah I like that a lot
Guardians of the Galaxy did a cracking job of finding old songs that were basically forgotten about and bringing back to a new audience. Some of the songs I'd never heard of, so they were new to me as well. But they fit in so well to the movie and wasn't just a Katy Perry track to keep the yoof happy.
Redbone - Come and Get Your LoveRedbone - Come and Get Your Love

view on www.youtube.comHooked on a feeling is an absolute anthem. It definitely benefitted from the marvel pump.
Tom Petty - Free Fallin'Tom Petty - Free Fallin'
Featured in one of the most memorable scenes in Jerry Maguire
view on youtu.beview on youtu.beAbsolute banger. Great submission.
You Can't Take Me (I'm Free) | Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron - Bryan AdamsYou Can't Take Me (I'm Free) | Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron - Bryan Adams
If you get chance to watch this outstanding movie about freedom, narrated by Matt Damon, I highly recommend. It doesn't matter if you don't have kids!
view on www.youtube.comThis is the whole soundtrack - songs by Bryan Adams, Music by Hans Zimmer
view on www.youtube.comThis movie makes my eyes leak. 😅 And such a beautiful soundtrack aswell
Heroes by The Wallflowers (David Bowie cover) from the movie Godzilla.
Great cover.
view on www.youtube.comWicked submission. Did not see Godzilla coming today.
I'll branch off your Linkin Park a little bit here https://youtu.be/nTEIsrBJJRM?si=duxd_4WoRrOe_XDl
I've no come across this before. I really enjoyed it! Great recommendation 👊
Solid movie too if you don't mind a few subtitles.
Music in movies falls in to these different camps.
Music especially written for a movie can either be a one off song or a complete album of songs (plus incidental music in the background) or a chart hit shoehorned in to a film.
I've watched an awful lot of kids movies in my time and some of the best were the ones that had music especially written for the movie and performed by some of the top artists of the time or ever.
Here's Elton John with a couple of tracks from animated film The Road to El Dorado These great songs can by and large go un-noticed by the fans as they were deemed to be movie music or they were too old for the film

Sir Elton did an amazing job on these. A brilliant soundtrack for the film. I get what you're saying about the top old for the film thing, but I liked them.
I agree it was hard to segregate between music in movies, and music written for movies, including ambience scores, so I chose not to differentiate and hope someone was going to submit John Williams Jurassic park theme here somewhere
Just love Asian movies, and I'll share a song from the movie Crows: Zero about Japanese hooligans.
view on youtu.beThis was intense. For a movie about hooligans it definitely gives the "finger to the man" vibe.

Iconic sound, iconic movie. I'd considered going for the soundtrack from the good the bad and the ugly this morning but landed on Linkin park instead.
