Minute44 - Dan Schonhaar

I’ve been thinking a lot about putting together a CD of 20 or so songs from movie soundtracks. I find that (I can’t stress enough that this is MY personal opinion.) the songs that are called “classics” from movie soundtracks are the shittest. They’re cheesy and way over-rated. I’m talking about your Unchained Melody from Ghost and Kiss Me from She’s All That. Far too much stock is put into these songs. I want to include songs that make me smile because they remind me of a good movie.

Here’s what I’ve got so far. This may not be the order I’ll put them on the CD though.

What Condition My Condition Was In - Kenny Rogers - The Big Lebowski

Amoreena - Elton John - Dog Day Afternoon

Open Road Song - Eve 6 - Can’t Hardly Wait

Head Over Heels - Tears for Fears - Donnie Darko

Hold On - Wilson Philips - Harold and Kumar Get the munchies

Girl, You’ll be a Woman Soon - Niel Diamond - Pulp Fiction

When the man comes around - Johnny Cash - Dawn of the Dead

mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm - Crash Test Dummies - Dumb and Dumber

Shape of my Heart - Sting - Leon

Leaders and Followers - Bad Religion - Clerks

Where is my Mind - Pixies - Fight Club

I Don’t Want to Live Today - Ape Hangers - Empire Records

Ok, some of those choices might seem funny to you… and sure 90% of them aren’t songs that I’d go out and buy the album… come on… Elton John! I chose them because they’re good songs in the movie they’re from and remind me of an excellent moment in cinema, weather that be a whole movie or a particular scene.
I’m super excited to hear your ideal songs and you never know, I might even include them on my list.
