So much of the music in The Royal Tenenbaums is memorable, and I love that it includes both the Ramones and Ravel.
yes... it is wonderful... in fact now that you mention it i've thought of a few more from that movie... the nico song is one of my favorites as well.
It's nice to see somebody finally clone my list. With so many movie/music fans here I can't believe it took so long. Good choices by the way!
I believe oedipus did... thats actually how i found your list... but he changed it around a little to a more of a musical(as in the genre) list... but yeah i wasn't going to until i realized i actually had enough different choices to not just be copying the list... you're list is so close to complete... in fact the only ones i deleted from your list were from films i hadn't seen... none were because i didn't like them.
A song that I felt fit what was happening in the scene and packed a pretty strong emotional impact was First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack in the 1971 Clint Eastwood film Play Misty For Me.
surprisingly enough i've never seen it.
Some great choices, especially the ones on Almost Famous. The bus scene is just beautiful. And now I finally know the name of the song in the "finding Penny scene", thanks!
