I've a considerable collection of soundtracks and I often go to the cinema but I found it rather difficult to come up with something that fits folks here. So yep, I'll stick with those two. :P Edited by Mila-13 - June 12 2023 at 10:48 |

^ I can make a playlist if you like of the nominees. I'm eager to listen through the nominations in a playlist form.
I had missed this before, thanks. While I wish I were better at writing such things, so I tend not to, these are the kinds of post that I particularly appreciate reading. I agree about Bang Bang, and I find this fragility about it. I know my choices might be seen as on the too known side -- I had a lot in mind, but mine were the two worked for me best right now. As for your Yann Tiersen choice, I love that. He is such a treasure. Off-topic and not the highest audio quality, but I have enjoyed watching this very much. Yann Tiersen - Live 2009 (Post Rock -Full Set- Live Performance I'd like to have an album of that (of professional studio sound quality). Edited by Logan - June 12 2023 at 10:31 |

Radiohead - as I've already said, it's my favourite Radiohead song, and so I've said it all (I'll add: I'm well aware that it's also a very emphatic song that uses all the tricks of the trade to achieve maximum emotional impact) Eric Serra: raspy vocals in the tradition of Springsteen and Bryan Adams (I know these comparisons will make your hair stand on end), emotive music that works on the vaguely oriental rhythm to make a good impact (a country, hand-crafted Radiohead?) Yann Tiersen: oh, we're on the sentimental side here, a nice French brilliant comedy with a nice love story? Aimee Mann: beautiful melodic music with an orchestral climax. So, yes, I agre with your choices.

I'll go with these two (I like the contrast):
Nancy Sinatra - "Bang Bang" (written by Sonny Bono) from Nancy Sinatra's 1966 album How Does That Grab You?, which was used in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. And Bauhaus - "Bela Lugosi's Dead" (off 1979's Bela Lugosi's Dead / Boys), for which a re-recorded version was used for Tony Scott's very stylish vampire movie with Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon, The Hunger. |

Unfortunately I couldn't come up with another one, so it's got to be Girls against Boys: Kill the Sexplayer.

Hi all, I'd suggest we get to our nominations: propose one or two of your suggestions for the poll. Once all nominations done, I'll put up the poll and let you vote for three of your preferred ones. My nominations are: - Eric Serra - Little Light of Love (from the album RXRA and the film Le cinquième élément/The Fifth Element) - Aimee Mann - Deathly (from the album Bachelor N° 2 and the film Magnolia |

One of favorite teen comedies is Dazed and Confused. Taking place on the last day of school in 1976, it incorporates the rock music of the time perfectly. These are all well-known songs. Too many great songs and scenes in the movie, but my favorites include the opening title sequence to Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion.
When Pink, Wooderson, and Mitch enter the Emporium to Bob Dylan's Hurrican. When the beer keg taps out and the party ends to Lynyrd Skynyrd's Tuesday Gone. For the full song, I will go with Dylan. |

I would like to mention the "Piano Concerto in A Minor" by Robert Schumann, excerpts of which were used in the 1947 movie "Song of Love" featuring Katharine Hepburn as Clara Wieck Schumann, Paul Henreid as Robert Schumann and Robert Walker as Johannes Brahms. this anecdote is the reason I want to mention it: In 1947, Katharine Hepburn played Clara Schumann in Clarence Brown's Song of Love, a film based on the lives of Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms. When Hepburn learned that Brown planned for her to fake Clara Schumann's playing at a wooden piano (with Arthur Rubinstein supplying the real music for the soundtrack), she was not amused. "Nonsense!" she exclaimed. "What's nonsense?" Brown asked. "The idea that I'm going to pound at some goddamned keyboard," Hepburn replied. "I'm going to play a real piano. Rubinstein can carry the bulk of the works, but I'm going to lead in with the first few bars, and I'll bet nobody knows the difference!" After working with a professional musician for several weeks, Hepburn was proven right. "That woman is incredible," Rubinstein later remarked. "She actually does play almost as well as I do. And when she ends and I begin, only I, in the whole world, could tell the difference." |

There are two artists that I discovered thanks to cinema in the
early 2000s. One came by in the previous interactive poll, Yann Tiersen,
and I may have presented the other earlier on, but I'm not sure... Yann
Tiersen gained a lot of popularity thanks to his
soundtrack
for Amélie Poulain, the film by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. It consists of some
original material and some (partial) tracks of Tiersen's albums. The
album L'absente was released in the same month as the film, the latter
using this track (for the film they cut of the introductory 50
seconds...): Yann Tiersen - A quai: And
I discovered Aimee Mann thanks to the film Magnolia, by Paul Thomas
Anderson, that had several tracks of hers incorporated in his film, some
of which from her album Bachelor N° 2 (Or, The Last Remains of the Dodo). Aimee Mann - Deathly: |

Had a first listen to the suggestion put up so far and I quite like all of it. From the rocking tracks, of course Van Halen - wonderful band, but also Girls Against Boys (didn't know them - great bass riff!) and Extreme (great fun; don't know if I heard this song before, but I'm sure I haven't seen the film). The Veils deliver a great energetic track too, nice build-up (and a great film indeed). I've always found Nancy Sinatra's version of Bang Bang very very moving, with that bare melancholic watery guitar... I don't tend to get back much to the Disney animation films, but they generally have a good and efficient use of music. Didn't remember this Dukas piece, but hearing it in full, with it's narrative quality, it is no surprise it is used in cinema. The Nanni Moretti selection is quite diverse, from the reference piece that is Jarret's Köln concert (but I never really related that much to it, somehow...), the - for me too - syrupy pop song by to the classy mambo by Yma Sumac, but from this selection I probably prefer Brian Eno's subdued By This River. Keep them coming, if you wish. Anyway, I will be off on a trip until Thursday and probably not much online. We'll see what's been up at the end of next week to get eventually to the nominations. I'll have one or two more suggestions myself...

The Veils
are an English/NZL alternative rock band. Their music also features in films by other renowned directors. This proposal does not contribute
much in terms of musical diversity, but I can definitely recommend the film. The soundtrack was composed by Teho Teardo, whom I introduced in an earlier poll. The Veils: Nux Vomica Edited by Mila-13 - May 31 2023 at 02:44 |

^ Nice to see this focus on Nanni Moretti's films. I was initially thinking about such a focus myself, with David Lynch, Wim Wenders or the Coen brothers as possible victims, but I let this idea go... I especially like Moretti's later films, but the music choice is generally interesting (to my ears). Nice also to see some more (modern) classical compositions brought forward. Good for the diversity. Keep them coming!

Probably a song that many of you have heard. It was one of my favorite parts of one of my favorite movies. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. The song is Play the Game by Extreme.
