For instance ever hear a song that automaically makes you think of a movie?

For example.

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) by Darlene Love makes me think of Gremlins.

Jingle Bell Rock = Lethal Weapon

Lesley Gore It's My Party = Waxwork

Or in a bad way the song from Silence of the Lambs that played when Buffalo Bill dressed in drag. That scene really put the kibosh on that song that day, I tell you.

Everyone can relate to Don't You Forget About Me: The Breakfast Club.

Oh Yeah: Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Yeah you know another Fast Times song that sticks with me is Billy Squier - Fast Times during the football game, I hear it and see Forest Whitaker's face, when he's ****ed about his car.

really? I love Goodbye Horses by Q Lazarus, it's a great song. Also featured in the game Skate3, which I play a lot, so itreminds me more of trying to land darkslide with 360 twist ending than ole' Bill doing the tuck-in in his demented dungeon.... although now that's what im thinking [Embarrassed]

Do the Buffalo Bill...

Jay does a good parody of Buffalo Bill in Clerks 2, which is quite amusing.

"Would ya f.. me."

"I'd f... me."

Family Guy's Chris did a parody of Buffalo as well.
 
Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
 
I remember seeing Stewie doing a parody, as he was sitting up top of well.

"Put the f...in' lotion in the basket!"
 
Posted by Jack Gannon (Member # 9144) on :
 
I remember Cartman doing that to.

The episode i'm talking about had Chris being poplular at school and meg showing a video at an assembly to stain his good name.

Perhaps it was Cartman I am remembering...my mind tends to amalgamate things a lot though.

Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
 
"On the snap Vincent." Man, I can't stand her in that movie. So annoying. I could whip him at pool. He should stick with Stocker.

"The kids got a sledgehammer break." - It's honestly not that great. I think they severely overdo the zoom ins on Paul Newman in that scene.

Question for everyone:

During the opening credits someone speaks and explains the rules of 9 ball. Now I always thought that it was Tom Cruise and then I read somewhere that it's Scorsese speaking and I am like no way. That has to be Tom. Anyone know for sure?

Thanks for that. I know that everything I have read says it's Scorsese but I still remain unconvinced. It has to be Tom talking.
 
Posted by Crash (Member # 7484) on :
 
Hey, Bernie. It's not Scorsese's best movie nor is it Newman's best performance either. In fact, what I remember the movie for--apart from Zevon's "Werewolves"--is that it was the year that the great Bob Hoskins in "Mona Lisa," a better performance, was positively doomed to lose to Newman for the Best Actor Oscar. Some folks even cynically suggest that "The Color of Money" was just a set-up Oscar nomination grab for Newman. (I read the same thing about Jodie Foster in "Nell" when that came out.) I don't think so, but Newman was much better in "The Verdict," for example. That's the unfairness of the Academy Awards. The membership has this goofy attitude that if it's your time--that is, you are a well-liked crony, and you've lost before--you win, no matter that it's not your best work. Hence, Scorsese's win for "The Departed," Denzel Washington for "Training Day," etc.

Although the movie is from the 80's, the song is not...

"In Dreams", an early-60's song by Roy Orbison, and was used in a memorable scene in "Blue Velvet" (1986). Dean Stockwell's character (in drag) lip-synches to the tune. That scene completely changed my feelings toward that song!

I forgot about that one, Steven. What a fantastic use of a song in a movie! "Don't be a good neighbor... Because I'll send you a love letter...a bullet from a ... gun." One of Lynch's very best scenes ever.

You know it. I love all his stuff, "Werewolves," "Excitable Boy," "Roland, the Headless Thompson Gunner." He was a really creative innovator--terrific ideas, often hilarious lyrics, and super music. And in the end, when he knew that he didn't have much time left, he continued on and finished one last album. I hope that I can end my life like that, on my own terms, doing something that I love.

The first thing that came to mind was Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild from Easy Rider..
but when it comes to 80's movies, i would
definitely go for Eye of the Tiger by Survivor
(from Rocky 3).. that song kinda became the
anthem for the whole Rocky-series, i guess.
Probably the song is still being played
everywhere Sly is invited to talk about Rocky.

I got some more for you.. how about these :

- The Glory of Love by Peter Cetera
(from The Karate Kid 2)

- Coming Around Again by Carly Simon
(from Heartburn)

- Flashdance (What a Feeling) by Irene Cara
(from.. well, you know...)

By the way.. I'm new here. So, hello to everyone ! :-)

Yeah as good as Training Day was and as good as Denzel was in it, his performance in The Hurricane was better. Just like how Russell Crowe won for Gladiator, but I thought A Beuatiful Mind was a lot better.

Agree with these too. Didn't XTC do the song Summertime Girls? I'd also add:

No, Anthony33, they didn't. A check of the Real Genius soundtrack will show that Summertime Girls was performed by Y&T.
 
Posted by Anthony33 (Member # 9820) on :
 
That's it. Y&T. I was watching the video for that on Youtube recently. I knew it was something with 2 or 3 letters in it, thanks. I'd also go with Phil Oakley's Together in Electic Dreams with Giorgio Moroder for the Electric Dreams soundtrack.

Speaking of You're the Best, Opie and Anthony used that on their radio show whenever their head of security entered the studio, since he was some kind of martial arts bleck belt. I also just saw a South Park episode where they used the song. The funny think about the episode was the kids were trying to lose at little league baseball because they didn't want to continue playing all summer long in the playoffs, classic.

Huey Lewis & The News' song "The Power Of Love" from Back To The Future.

Every time I hear that song, I think of the movie. IIRC, Huey himself had a brief cameo in the movie.

But it's too bad that it was nominated for a 'Best Song' Oscar at the Academy Awards, and it lost out to Lionel Richie's "Say You, Say Me" from the movie White Nights! I'm still a bit disappointed with that!
