umm... thanks for pointing out the edit button which i've used many times before. the reason i posted those two messages was b/c i was replying to two different posts. no ones ever bashed me yet for doing that except for you, but i'll keep that in mind.

Well said.

Actually, "Mrs Robinson" is the only song (kind of) written for the movie. And the full version was written was written after the movie became such a big hit.

All songs from The Graduate are, of course, my favourite.

But I also like:

Ray Parker Jr - Ghostbusters (Ghostbusters)
Duran Duran - A View To A Kill (A View To A Kill)
A-ha - The Living Daylights (The Living Daylights)
Garbage - The World Is Not Enough (The World Is Not Enough)
Secret Garden (Jerry Maguire)

and lots more I can't remember right now.

Best Bond song ever....

[streetpreacher]

just found this thread, so .... *bump* :P


* garbage - #1 crush :love: (romeo & juliet)

* most of the bond theme songs (especially "a view to a kill")

* skin - you can't find peace (der krieger und die kaiserin)

* the "queen of the damned" songs by jonathan davis

* the songs from "south park - bigger, longer and uncut"

* radiohead - talk show host (didn't know it was written for r&j until i saw this thread :))

* everclear - local god (see radiohead :))

[Wiretrip]

The instrumental from "Requiem for a Dream". I forgot who it's by and what it's called though.

[Stormwalker]

wiretrip.. its by clint mansell and the kronos quartet

there are so many songs.. umm
absolute fav would have to be...

Dave Matthews Vs Paul Oakenfold - When The World Ends
and if Clocks by Coldplay was written for a movie then it would be on my list too.. but so far i think it is just chance that it was used for peter pan... (the whole hook fear of clocks is a pretty big coincidence though! ;))
