It's been like almost a millennium since I posted something in this useless blog (Not like there's anyone who care). Since I feel it is very necessary to post something here at least twice a month, I'm gonna post a very unnecessary news, not about me nor my stupid friends but about things that happened in this world lately:
To be honest, I didn't come out with this idea. I took it from a topic in a forum:Favorite use of a song in a film. from the website mubi.com. I'm a soundtrack collector and the soundtrack sometimes affect the my rating, take John c. Reilly's Dewey Cox for example; the movie sucks so bad, I tried to hate them movie but I just can't since they got pretty kick ass music there. enough with with crap, here are my picks, and one more thing, they are not in order because I can't really decide which one is the best.
1. Sam Whitman - Indian Love Call as heard in Mars Attack This songs really plays a very big part in this movie, cause it is the song that is used to kill all the fugly aliens. and I happen to love the song. It's an oldies but who gives a shit, oldies are awesome.
2. Gigliola Cinquetti - Ma L'amore no as heard in Malena I actually don't really know who sing this song. I googled it, several names showed up but I just picked Gigliola Cinquetti cause she's the oldest one. The song itself really helps building the sad atmosphere of the movie. You can heard this song in the scene when Malena was dancing with her husband's photograph as out little Peeping Tom, Renato, watches her. I don't understand the meaning of the song since I don't speak Italian but it's just beautiful.
3. Audrey Hepburn - Moon River as heard in Breakfast at Tiffany's Holy fuckstick! this song is one of the best song I've ever heard and it was sung by one of the best women in the world (you're a soulless monster if you hate Audrey Hepburn). This song even won the 1961 Best Song Oscar, it was written by Johnny Mercer and composed by Henry Mancini (the guy who made Pink Panther's theme).
4. Jack Black - Let's Get it On as heard in High Fidelity This is the perfect song to shock everyone, from the beginning Jack Black's character seems to be a perfect fat loser who is only good at making all the costumers away from the shop, but in the end once he sang this song, I was blown away. It's fucking awesome.
5. Chuck Berry - Johnny B, Goode as heard in Back to the Future I (lip-synced by Michael J. Fox) It's everybody's fave movie, yep that's right, it's Back to the Future. I can watch this movie again and again all day long. It still looks great even till today. One of the best scene is when Michael J. Fox played Chuck Berry's song Johnny B. Goode and he rocked out like crazy, just fucking awesome. He left everybody at the prom amazed not because they like it but because they thought "what the fuck is wrong with that kid, rolling on the floor with his guitar and kicking at the amplifier?"
6. Irene Cara - Flashdance (What a Feeling) as heard in Flashdance Most people love that Maniac song but I prefer the last song. I wasn't impressed at first cause it started pretty slow and mellow and so was the dance but then the tempo raised and followed with Jennifer Beals' amazing dance, I just fell in love with the song. This is the perfect song to build the great climax of the movie.
7. "Liebestod" (from Tristan und Isolde) as heard in Romeo + Juliet a great opera song by Richard Wagner. You can hear this song when our tragic couple died side by side. They only took some part of the song' Tristan und Isolde and they took the best part of the song, the ending. it fits the movie's tragic scene perfectly.
8. Hall and Oates - You Make my Dream as heard in (500) Days of Summer My friend said it's a cheesy song but I fucking love it. Joseph Gordon Levitt was dancing in the only musical part of the movie. It's so much fun, that musical number has become everybody's fave scene. this I shit you not (I haven't said this sentence in a long time).
9. Julie Delphy - a Waltz for the Night as heard in Before Sunset Before Sunset without a doubt is a fucking masterpiece. We're like watching two philosophers talking about love and life, they are seen from the point of view of man and woman. This song is the song that is made by Celine for Jesse, it's about the the day that they spend couple years ago (as you can see in the first movie, Before Sunrise). The song is well sung and well written, we'll get back to the memory when they were together that day when we hear that song, and hoping that they'll be back together.
10. Chieko Baisho - Sekai No Yakusoku as heard in Howl's Moving Castle a great song to end the movie. I don't usually like Asian songs and i don't even collect them but this song is an exception. It's so beautiful and.. ahh fuck, just watch the movie and you'll understand what I mean.
