Favourite songs/music from the movies.
 

I've just woken up early, still dreaming I was sat outside this speakeasy with Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey, and I just had to hear this great, inspirational song, where the wayward Shugs is reunited with her preacher father, in the Color Purple (sic).

"God is trying to tell you something." - (The Color Purple) - YouTube

So on the day the Oscar winners are anounced. what song, or music from films do you really like?

I think this is one of the most powerful songs ever to be featured in a film.

So much can be read into it, and the madness that was about to be unleashed on the world.

Evil masquerading as health and efficency.

Love the song Margaret, sadly never seen the film.

I rather like this one... not seen the movie since I was about ten... and probably prefer the original version without words = Borodin's string quartet No 2.

There isn't an offical music video/film music video to this one.

Red House Painters - Have You Forgotten [Alternatif Eksen] - YouTube

Red House Painters is one of my favourite bands. The singer was actually in vanilla sky for a short moment. The director of Vanilla sky is a fan of the band and gave him a short cameo role-- the part in the toilets. where a passer by says 'dude fix you ****** face' to Tom Cruise :D
