1. Cancion del Mariachi (Morena di Mi Corezon) by Antonio Banderes and Los Lobos - Desperado


I love the movie Desperado, and this is the best way to open it. For a film based around a mariachi who kills drug dealers you need a few things. You need to have a catchy song, hire a great band, get a lead actor who can sing, have a little action with the song and you have my personal favorite opening song to a movie. It establishes the mood of the film by having lots of energy, further enhances El Mariachi’s rep as an asskicker, and it serves as a lead into his origin story. I mean you have Banderes in his scorpion jacket knocking the crap out of a guy with his guitar, and he just keeps playing. Just a lot of fun for one of the best action movies ever.

Desperado is one that always misses my top 100 for some reason, not sure why though. Great movie, great scene too...

This thread is exceptionally erotic, and I will +rep every post in it..after I open this can of beer.

As soon as I saw this thread, I thought of The End. That's probably my favorite so I'm glad you included it.

For Whom the Bell Tolls may be my favorite Metallica song so nice to see that too.

My other favorites are Body Talk, Shakedown, and Ghostbusters.

Cool stuff bud!
