The Killing Moon -Echo & The Bunnymen. From Donnie Darko.

[realitybites]

Great thread Robby! So it looks like the songs don't have to be originally released in conjunction with the film, but merely featured in it.

First off, I too love Goodbye Horses from The Silence of the Lambs and Every You and Every Me from Cruel Intentions.

My faves in no particular order...

Bittersweet Symphony ~ Cruel Intentions
Cosmic Dancer ~ Billy Elliot
Elephant Love Medley ~ Moulin Rouge
Trash City ~ Permanent Record
Pretty in Pink ~ Pretty in Pink
Love My Way ~ Wedding Singer

America ~ West Side Story




Can't Help Falling in Love ~ Some Kind of Wonderful




Sweetness Follows, Good Vibrations, Where is My Mind?, and Rez ~ Vanilla Sky




Festival and Never Hear Surf Music Again ~ 127 Hours





May add more...

"The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" (theme) by Ennio Morricone from "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly"
"Trigger Hippie" by Morcheeba from "Playing God" (Skye Edwards is my favorite vocalist of all-time! Marvelous song.)
"FM (No Static At All)" by Steely Dan from "FM" (Great song and makes me feel like watching my "WKRP in Cincinnati" dvd's.)

[peptastic]

Box of Moonlight is my favourite soundtrack.
1. Mexican Radio - Wall Of Voodoo
2. Red Right Hand - Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
3. Blues Before Sunrise - Elmore James
4. Big Black Sky - Chaser
5. Too Much Tequila - The Champs
6. Carioca - The Fireballs
7. Wayward Nile - The Chantays
8. Lost Time Blues - The Chrome Cranks
9. Wheels Over Me - Die Haut
10. Gun Control - Tom Dicillo
11. Opening Titles - Jim Farmer
12. Tomato Field Fight
13. End Titles - Jim Farmer

but it left out Peter Murphy's "Cuts you up" which played in the film.
Al [John Turturro] found a tape in a rental car named 'Eddie's mix #1". Eddie has cool taste. I've named every mixed cd I ever made "eddie's mix 1" since 1997.

The Lost Boys- Cry Little Sister
Velvet Goldmine- the entire soundtrack
Whip it- Your arms around me- Jens Lekman but the whole thing is great. Drew Barrymore did a good job.
Labryinth - hard to pick a fave so the whole stk.
Some velvet morning Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood - Morvern Callar
Six Bells Chime by Crime and The City Solution - Wings of Desire

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

some excellent choices, I particularly like:

The Killing Moon -Echo & The Bunnymen. From Donnie Darko.
People Are Strange -Echo & The Bunnymen. From The Lost Boys.

almost put both those down

Great thread Robby! So it looks like the songs don't have to be originally released in conjunction with the film, but merely featured in it.

First off, I too love Goodbye Horses from The Silence of the Lambs and Every You and Every Me from Cruel Intentions.

thanks and yeah, I just figured it would be to time consuming for me to limit it to songs first released in conjunction with a film
also, from your list I like

Bittersweet Symphony ~ Cruel Intentions
Cosmic Dancer ~ Billy Elliot
Elephant Love Medley ~ Moulin Rouge
Pretty in Pink ~ Pretty in Pink
Love My Way ~ Wedding Singer

America ~ West Side Story

interesting, but was wondering of "Love My Way" also was on the "Pretty In Pink" soundtrack?
too lazy to check for myself

Pure Imagination" by Gene Wilder from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"
"The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" (theme) by Ennio Morricone from "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly"
"Drown" by The Smashing Pumpkins from "Singles"
"Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds from "The Breakfast Club"

most especially, I adore Bowie's "Labyrinth" soundtrack, cannot believe I forgot it from my list!
so, if I had to pick one song from it, it would be:

As the World Falls Down
