Watched that one The Squid and the Whale the other night. Good use of a Pink Floyd song I didn't know called Hey You.

That's funny, I bought both The Squid and the Whale and Thumbsucker recently. Have only watched the latter. Didn't think it was any great shakes.

Aye, I've yet to see that one actually. Trying to catch up on some I've missed over the years....thanks to 3 for a fiver for a week in Xtravision...it'd be rude not to.

i liked thumbsucker, tilda swinton's the business. there was a glut of those fucked-up-family films that spilled out at once along with garden state. would put junebug at the top of the pile though.

Thought Squid and Whale was very good, well acted but hard to empathise with any of the characters....probably the point, I guess. I see the writer/director's got that new one out, Margaret and the Wedding or something?

Well it took me so long to wander into this thread a bunch of good ones are covered already.
Always liked "Black Betty" in Blow. The Flogging Molly song in The Departed.
Can't forget Battle of 1812 in V for Vendetta.

didn't know it either, sandra, but i'll curl my lip to those who can't name a single dana song. did i call you sandra? sorry, it's just you make me feel unusual and you look like my old maths teacher today. she preferred to be called miss than sandra.

No, I genuinely hadn't heard of it, Sam. Wouldn't be massively into Pink Floyd really.
Strangely enough, the way it was used in the film was the young lad passed it off as his own composition at a school concert and won top prize.....so I suppose I'm not the only one who didn't know it.....well, me and a bunch of made-up characters from a film anyway.. ha!

people are far too concerned with gratuitous violence these days than ensuring it's put to suitable music. never mind that he's killed the bloke, he did it to the beat!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0ScNLt2zNc

just thinking of songs that get to work on your tear system. its sentiments are long ridiculed, but john lennon's imagine as 'the killing fields' wrap up is a punch in the gut. a top 5 film, had an enduring effect. and i love making cheesy statements, its false sentiment i can't hack.
