Music from Movies

Tools    





Let's try to be broad-minded about this
So i was just scrolling through my itunes and realized that a large percentage of songs i got from either movie trailers or movies so i'm going to list mine and i was just curious to see what others had. In my car (i have a mini-van so i have to be the driver of my entire group all the time) i always find myself giving explanations for songs like, "And this song played during the credits of Fight Club" and stuff like that and yeah, i have a lot of songs from movies but i rarely actually buy whole soundtracks. And also note that i'm sure these songs have been around for way longer before the movie but either way everytime i listen to them they remind me of the movie that i heard them in and that's exactly why i love them so much because it just brings back whatever feeling i felt while watching them so it's most likely happy ^_^

They'll go in alphabetical order from musician

CKY - 96 Quite Bitter Beings (Jackass towards the end somewhere)
Coasters - Down in Mexico (Death Proof lap dance haha)
Combichrist - This is My Rifle (So this didn't actually play in Full Metal Jacket but i had been listening to this song for years before i actually saw the movie and the repeated quote in this song is a remix of the Rifle chant and it starts out with "Tonight, you pukes will sleep with your rifles. You will give your rifle a girl's name because this is the only pussy you people are going to get." and i had no clue where it was from and so when i watched Full Metal Jacket my heart felt complete)

On a different vein, I really like the Gladiator soundtrack.
