Winstonm Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 One of my all-time favorite uses of music to propel a movie was Roy Orbisun's "In Dreams" as used in the dark drama "Blue Velvet". Any other favorites out there? Can you find a clip to share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Runaway by Del Shannon on the Michael Mann production of the television series Crime Story back in the mid-80's. Crime Story theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 "American Beauty" and the way it used "Because" by the Beatles - the lyrics seemed to sum up the message of the movie and then the music's abrupt end fits so well with the movie ending.

cherdano Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 The introduction of "Fanny and Alexander" by Ingmar Bergmann. The music is the slow movement of a Schumann piano quartet.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAmpLqjXe08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossoneri Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Not a film, but I was surprised to hear Schubert's Ave Maria being used in the PC game Hitman: Blood Money. (I haven't watched the movie, but i think it was used in the Hitman movie as well.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceptic Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 British airways advert, it is not perhaps a film and this is perhaps not the best version of the music, but none the less it is good http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jxs106rp5RQ&feature=related This is a much better version http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CX-6Ej2lnwg&feature=related This is Erika (Hungarian if you are interested) Nattalie Dessay does a stunning version also if you want to find it on you tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I think advertisement can certainly be considered in the category of short film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
