ST SID Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 What has been the best use of music in a film: 1. Simon & Garfunkel in "The Graduate" 2. Ennio Morricone in Every Film particularly "Once Upon a Time in America" 3. The Great Rock n' Roll Swindle 4. Pini Donaggio in "Don't Look Now" 5. John Carpenter obviously Halloween but particularly in "Assault on Precint 13". Special Mention to Elmer Bernstein for the Magnificent 7.

AndyBud Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 5. John Carpenter obviously Halloween but particularly in "Assault on Precint 13". Absolute classic film though rumour has it they are trying to remake it. IMO a big mistake. Thats almost as bad as re-making "The Italian Job" with Marky Mark!

Bill Lees Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Phillip Glass for "Koyaanisquatsi". Michael Nyman for "Drowning by Numbers". Ennio Morricone for "The Mission". James Horner for "The Fellowship of The Ring". Various Artistes for "Sweet & Lowdown". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Sanchez Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Is it true that the title of Elvis' movie 'Love Me Tender' was just a cryptic request for prolonged,rough sex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Lees Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Is it true that the title of Elvis' movie 'Love Me Tender' was just a cryptic request for prolonged,rough sex? A request ? To whom ? Mind you, I suppose it could have been a cryptic request - after all, they couldn't really have got away with calling it "Shag me Senseless". :devil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
