[red dog 1]

[ZDU]

1. If You Were Here

?si=vcsAoyahnWBc_RCw

[50 Shades Of Blue]

[Chasstev365]

2. Going Home (Local Hero Theme, Mark Knopfler 1983)

?si=EDVcti44HDI_-ZIO

[Skittles]

3. any of the Cat Stevens songs in Harold and Maude

yes INDEED

[50 Shades Of Blue]

6. Love love love this song and movie!

[sheshe2]

51. I watched that movie a dozen times.

I need to watch it again.

TY, Skittles.

[Skittles]

53. I watched it again recently in honor of Bud Cort

when he passed he was 77 so he didn't make it to 80 like Maude, although in real life Ruth Gordon was 75 when she made this movie. And Vivian Pickles, who played Harold's mum. is still going strong at age 94

edited to add that Cat (Yusuf now), born the same year as Bud (and with Harold in one of those funeral scenes) is still entertaining!

[anciano]

4. The Third Man Theme, featured in the 1949 classic film "The Third Man"

[some_of_us_are_sane]

47. I've always LOVED that one!

It sounds so happy......................... yet CHILLING.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

5. Hard to narrow down but I'll go with this one from the Dave Clark 5 movie, "Having a Wild Weekend."

It was on their album Coast to Coast that I got when I was 12. I saw their movie (still one of my favorites) when it came out the following year.

[Chasstev365]

55. This song and movie clip have really grown on me. Thanks for sharing!

[50 Shades Of Blue]

56. Glad you enjoyed it!

[MIButterfly]

8. I Would Walk 500 Miles from Benny and Joon

was the first one that came to mind.

Also Unchained Melody from Ghost; never did care for that song much until I saw that movie and now I like it.

[red dog 1]

19. Great song, Great movie!

[House of Roberts]

9. The Last Time I Felt Like This - Johnny Mathis & Jane Olivor

[MIButterfly]

20. Oh yes! I absolutely love this song

and I love that movie!

[House of Roberts]

22. Interesting fact I uncovered one day.

Ellen Burstyn started acting in TV and movies in 1958 as Ellen McRae, and changed to Burstyn in 1970. I watch a lot of old tv shows on various retro channels and spotted her in a show, and looked up the episode to see who she was, found her as Ellen McRae, then discovered the switch.

[Chasstev365]

10. Indian Love Call - Slim Withman - Mars Attacks

?si=ReG30j_RkGoLaW9v

15. I think that I have to go with The Galaxy Song

?si=eugOXtfomgNB5MVT

[FadedMullet]

36. What a great tune ! Pythonesque for sure and really clever. I'm pretty sure all the astronomical facts and.....

......figures are all spot on too, which you would expect.

[quaint]

17. Maybe trite, but one of my top choices is Also Sprach Zarathustra prelude from 2001.

?si=9R-4CtM9SpeIYmZ8

[FadedMullet]

38. Not trite, still wonderful. Many symphony "collections" on Youtube include it.

[WestMichRad]

39. That's my choice too!

Always have loved this work.

[av8rdave]

I “discovered” Strauss because of that film!

He did it as the theme song for the movie with the same name. He did it in collaboration with Daryl Hall and David Stewart.

[4TheArts]

Another from City of Angels (and another Sarah McLaughlin)

[cbabe]

32. If I had words/Babe

https://m.

[FadedMullet]

33. Here's an odd one, but I really like it. "Make Me Smile" from the movie "The Full Monty" performed by.......

.......Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel. Here's a video.........

I just looked at some of the other responses to your question, and I take back what I said about
this being "an odd one". It's certainly is no odder than many of the other entries in this contest.

Thanks, Red Dog, for posting this, it's a good one.

[FadedMullet]

34. Blues Traveler's tune "But Anyway" is one of my all time favorite tunes. What movie soundtrack used it?

[red dog 1]

59. Kingpin (1996)

[FadedMullet]

35. Deb55 - You're still my favorite pollster her on DU, but you'll admit that this is a good one.

[debm55]

41. Yes, it is, FadedMullet.

[SharonAnn]

37. Seems Like Old Times ... from Annie Hall

[Loisita123]

42. Les miserables

Really liking " Do you hear the people sing" right now.

Or maybe the Bad News Bears using the music from Carmen.

Or Bob Dylan's Knock knocking on heavens door from Pat Garrett and Billy the kid.

All the music from Last of the Mohicans

[Ferrets are Cool]

43. Ending sequence of Buckaroo Banzai AND

How I feel right at this moment in time: This is not America. Pat Metheny and David Bowie

[Brother Buzz]

44. Little Green Bag - Reservoir Dogs

Quentin Tarantino has a thing about eclectic music, and boy howdy, he picked a great one for the opening of Reservoir Dogs.

Oh, speaking of opening scenes, it was brilliant using Sea Lion Woman for a haunting mood setting opening for The General’s Daughter.

[no_hypocrisy]

45. Gideon's Oboe from "The Mission"

Instrumental -- is it still a "song"?

Not a new song written for the movie, but fit the film well.

Good choice

[red dog 1]

63. Another great song from The Big Lebowski was played over the closing credits, the Rolling Stones' "Dead Flowers"
