Nat King Cole singing "A Blossom Fell" in a crucial dancing scene in
Badlands by Terrence Malick; starring a young Cissy Spacek & Martin
Sheen in a brilliant film tangentially related to the
Fugate/Starkweather killing spree of the 1950s.
Ian & Sylvia, "Love Is strange", also from Badlands. "kit was the
most trigger-happy boy I had ever met"
"It Don't Worry Me" from Nashville by Robert Altman. It is first
performed by Keith Carradine; my citation is for the second
appearance at the end of the film after the shooting of Barbara Jean
(Ronnie Blakely).
"My Idaho Home" by Ronnie Blakely from Nashville, during which she is
shot and the audience & vagabond begin to sing "It Don't Worry Me" as
she is carried offstage to an ambulance. Hal Phillip Walker in 2008!
"All Summer Long" by The Beach Boys from the ending credits for
American Graffiti. Perfect.
"All The Way To Memphis" by Mott The Hoople for the post-prequel,
opening sequence from Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore by Martin Scorsese.
"Tubular Bells" by Mike Oldfield from The Exorcist directed by
William Friedkin.
various Love Scenes music by Pink Floyd for Zabrieski Point by Antonioni
"Also Spach Zarathustra" as performed by Emir Deodato for Being There
starring Peter Sellers, directed by Hal Ashby
"As The World Goes Round" sung by Liza Minnelli in New York, New
York; again Scorsese
all of Rock & Roll High School
"Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & The Comets from Blackboard Jungle
"The Girl Can't Help It" performed by Little Richard from the film of
the same title. Actually every song in the film, including the
novelty number sung by Jane Mansfield (mother of Mariska Hargitay
from Law & Order SVU), deserves listing here. Eddie Cochran is
another standout.
and, of course, As Time Goes By from Casablanca as performed by Dooley Wilson
