My favorite track ever is in several movies. Most notably Mortal Kombat, Hackers, CKY2K and Mean Girls.

Have seen Mean Girls and I definitely like that movie. I used to watch it with my sisters. Good memories.

Haven't seen the other movies yet.

Here's a song I like featured in a movie I like:





It's featured in Me Myself and Irene.

My favourite orchestral score to a film not created by Philip Glass:





Temirkanov is the only conductor since 1938 to record a full-length version of the score, and given that the 1938 recording was of crappy quality even by the standards of 1938 in the USSR, it needed it. Sadly, it's not available on the Criterion set of Alexander Nevsky and Parts 1 and 2 of Ivan the Terrible.

-Pulp Fiction (surprisingly eclectic)

Ahhhhhhhhhhh that reminds me. A track I really like:





Need I even say what it's from?

Here's another one I love:





Again... need I even say what it's from [edit: oh it's right there in the title anyway lol]? If you don't know... I'm almost offended!

N.B. I fucking despite the Crazy Frog remake though. That makes me want to vomit.

[The Industrial Atheist]

I used to work out to the Rocky Sound Track.

Another good one, of course, is Free Bird. It's in Forrest Gump. Awesome movie.

Kitty's post sparked my memory.

I used "Nevsky" in paper titled "Effects of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact on Soviet Cinema". My prof. thought I was crazy to try that topic. I got an "A" out of it.

Maybe he was surprised if you could find a second movie for that paper. The effects on the temporary piece between Hitler and Stalin are fairly well-known to those familiar with the film. It's a thinly-veiled allegory for the potential of a war between mother Russia (Nevsky), Germany (the Teutonic Knights), and even Japan (the Mongols). Eisenstein even published an article explaining how applicable it was in an article that's actually readable in full here. It was popular at first release, then pulled from circulation after the pact, and then put back in circulation when Germany invaded to huge success.

Sadly, even I, film buff that I am, have trouble naming other Soviet or Nazi films from the Molotov-Ribbentrop era.
