Songs that make you think of movies.

[Slumbag]

"Then He Kissed Me" is playing at my work right now.
Everytime I hear it, I think of the scene in Goodfellas where they're walking into the restaraunt through the back. Layla makes me think of when they are finding frozen bodies in the truck.
And everytime I hear Phil Collins, I think of American Psycho.

[weekapaugjz]

where is my mind - the pixies

reminds me of fight club

[sevenxbjt]

Always "Stuck in the Middle With You" and Reservoir Dogs. Mike Madsen is the best. Such a great combo of dark and light.

[mikeyboy]

Sister Christian - the botched drug deal scene in Boogie Nights

[hammersavage]

I'm with Slumbag on Layla. Everytime I hear it, I visual the entire scene.

Bohemian Rhapsody from Waynes World is obvious but true.

Tiny Dancer. I sing along to it like Russell Hammond.

[weekapaugjz]

ride of the valkyries - apocalypse now

[sevenxbjt]

Going old school; Joe Walsh "In the City" makes me think of the great old movie The Warriors

[epo]

Tiny Dancer. I sing along to it like Russell Hammond.

Love that scene. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qn3tel9FWU)

[epo]

Jesus and Mary Chain's "Just Like Honey" - Lost in Translation.

[Slumbag]

"Power of Love" from Back to the Future.
Until I was like, 15, I think I only thought that song was in that movie.

[midwestjeff]

I think this is a perfect example because I would normally HATE this song
but because of my associating it with the movie,
instead of turning it off I will always turn it up.
It fucking stirs my emotions.

I present to you:

Edit*-I am now listening to it for the third time in a row since looking it up.

What kinda fag joints you hanging out in that play Peter Cetera? I don't think I've ever stumbled upon that song.

Oddly enough, whenever I hear that song, I think of "The Ring" because that was first song I listened too immediately following the movie.

How does White Rabbit not make you think of the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas bathtub scene?

[Judge Smails]

How does White Rabbit not make you think of the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas bathtub scene?

Might have something to do with the fact that I never saw it.

[hedges]

Whenever I hear Scott Joplin/ragtime I think of The Sting.
Whenever I hear Beethoven's 9th Symphony or Singin in the Rain, I think of A Clockwork Orange
The End by the Doors makes me think of Apocalypse Now

[PapaBear]

American Girl. Silence of the Lambs.

I've actually never heard that song NOT used in Silence of the Lambs context.

[Judge Smails]

The song 9 to 5 always makes me think of Schindler's List.

[A.J.]

Anyway You Want It, Journey: Caddyshack

I'd add "Goodbye Horses".
I've actually never heard that song NOT used in Silence of the Lambs context.
And yet it is on the "Married To The Mob" soundtrack.

"Don't You Forget About Me" Breakfast Club.
"People are Strange" Lost Boys

[Ohiorunningrick]

Ghostbusters...I think of Ghostbusters II

:lol:

Smails is old too. Platoon kicked some fucking ass when we were kids - all of us went to see it. I saw that at the multiplex across from Woodbridge Mall.

White Rabbit def. reminds me of the same... that and tracks of my tears and Fortunate Son.

My first thought for this:

I still enjoy the end.:smoke:

[Freakshow]

Here's my list:
ELO - It's a Living Thing: Boogie Nights


I think of Boogie Nights whenever I heard the roller skates song...

[drjoek]

[Servo]

Here's my list:

Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter: Goodfellas

[FunkyDrummer]

[Kublakhan61]

The Kinks - "This Time Tomorrow" and "Strangers" are both forever linked to Darjeeling Limited in my mind.
Prez Prado's "Patricia" always reminds me of Fellini's La Dolce Vita.

[Thebazile78]

The 'Ode to Joy' movement from Beethoven's 9th Symphony reminds me of the movie Help! with the Beatles:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TmW6zrwHO00&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TmW6zrwHO00&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

But that's pretty much my only song/movie association. I know. I'm weird.

Hmm that reminds me of A Clockwork Orange.

[Thebazile78]

Hmm that reminds me of A Clockwork Orange.

I fell asleep while my friends were watching that, so I wouldn't have the same association.

However, I've seen Help! and A Hard Day's Night about fifty times each.

[ANC]

Adding to the list Iggy Pop - Lust For Life: Trainspotting

[FunkyDrummer]

Klint - Diamond (Snatch)

All I do is listen to those songs after that movie. Great one.

Adding to the list Iggy Pop - Lust For Life: Trainspotting

What a fuckin' scene.

[burrben]

I've had the Time of my life is one of my favorite songs. I know it IS Dirty Dancing BUT Bill Medley is fucking great.

for me, its "shes like the wind"

[hammersavage]

for me, its "shes like the wind"

I'll go with "Will you still love me tomorrow"

[BMoses]

For some reason I associate songs more with movies I haven't seen as much:

This Years Love- David Grey- The Girl Next Door
Green Onions- Booker T & the MGs- Sandlot
Endless Love- Lionel Richie- Billy Madison

[PapaBear]

How about a song that doesn't even have anything to do with a movie?

REM. Everybody Hurts (the video) makes me think of Falling Down, just because it has a guy walking away from his car in a traffic jam.

[Slumbag]

When I hear BabyLove, I always picture Simone singing to Lewis in Jackie Brown.

[hedges]

Kashmir reminds me of Bad Lieutenant because Schooly D sampled it for his own version he did for the movie.

[ecobag2]

Is Gimme Shelter in Goodfellas? I think you may mean Monkey Man.

negative.

and it's perfect.

[Kublakhan61]

All I do is listen to those songs after that movie. Great one.

Yup. I had passed over that album until that movie came out - Anderson has a knack for soundtracks ... and Salinger.
