Songs you discovered while watching a movie.

I'm sad that they didn't get a chance to release an album....I would have definitely jumped all over that one

Another song of theirs that I liked was "here with me"

Lauren Bacall sings "and her tears flowed like wine" in Humphrey Bogart's The Big Sleep,Ive heard it is a jazz standard and her version is my favourite she is standing round a grand piano with these suited up dudes singing away at some mansion house party.

Another favourite is The Joker singing Prince's Party Man in the first Batman film, trashing an at museum with his henchman.

I can think of a bunch of songs, but first and foremost is what I'll still call my favourite song of all time without the slightest hesitation, which I heard when I was watching Nagisa Oshima's Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.

Namely;

^ It just never gets old for me. I love every second of it.

Morris Day And The (mother****ing) Time - Jungle Love. From Jay and Silent Bob.

On a similar note, I first heard Bell Biv Devoe's 'Poison' when it was on Scrubs.

I always thought the best part about the movie "Closer" was Damien Rice and Morrissey!

I'd never heard this awesome track before seeing "Natural Born Killers"....

Danny Elfman who normally does orchestral sound track stuff created this for the movie "Wanted"

I liked the movie despite my normal preferences.... and this particular song is pretty good for some reason...

A seriously flawed movie but it is a definite cult movie full of classic scenes, cameos and music. Released in the early 90's, I was transfixed by this song and how well it fitted into the imagery.

That was awesome. Could have easily been a music video.
