I really don't like Ewan McGregor.

Really? But he's such a cool guy!

Nice guy, sh*thouse actor.

Round 53: TOP 5 BEST USE OF A SONG IN A MOVIE - EXCLUDING MUSICALS

1. "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" - B. J. Thomas - Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid (1969)
2. "Tiny Dancer" - Elton John - Almost Famous (2000)
3. "Everybody's Talkin'" - Harry Nilsson - Midnight Cowboy (1969)
4. "Stuck In The Middle With You" - Stealer's Wheel - Reservoir Dogs (1992)
5. "Perfect Day" - Lou Reed - Trainspotting (1996)

Special mention for "Miss Misery" - Elliott Smith - Good Will Hunting and (1997) "Canned Heat" - Jamiroquai - Napoleon Dynamite (2004)... don't really like the song, but it's a classic movie moment!

The use of Macca's Junk in Jerry Maguire was wonderful too - but not good enough for my Top 5 list. :)

Round 53: TOP 5 BEST USE OF A SONG IN A MOVIE - EXCLUDING MUSICALS

Ooooh. Great topic!

Here are my choices (some are rather unconventional):

1. "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out" -- Cat Stevens -- Harold and Maude (1971)
2. "In Dreams" -- Roy Orbison -- Blue Velvet (1986)
3. " Sh*t List" -- L7 -- Natural Born Killers (1994)
4. "A Quick One, While He's Away" -- The Who -- Rushmore (1998)
5. "Tiny Dancer" -- Elton John -- Almost Famous (2000)
(that scene gives always gives me goosebumps, no matter how many times I see it) :blush:


I could go on and on and on. Some of my other choices would be:

"Singing in the Rain" -- sung by Malcolm McDowell in A ClockWork Orange (1971)
"Queen B*tch" -- David Bowie -- The Life Aquatic (2004)
"Ooh La La" -- the Faces -- Rushmore (1998)
"Bela Lugosi's Dead" -- Bauhaus -- The Hunger (1983)
"Super Freak" -- Rick James -- Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

Round 64: TOP 5 WORST LINES IN A MOVIE... EVER!

1. "Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get." - Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) in Forrest Gump (1994)

2. "Is it still raining? I hadn’t noticed." - Carrie (Andie MacDowell) in Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)

3. "I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her."
- Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) to William Thacker (Hugh Grant) in Notting Hill (1999)

4. "If you build it, he will come." - 'The Voice' (Lee Garlington) in Field of Dreams (1989)

5. "I think World War Two has just started!" - Danny (Josh Hartnett) in Pearl Harbour (2001)

Why Forrest Gump? Mainly because, in a box of chocolates, you always know what you're going to get. There's a card telling you what's in there. Apart from that line, I loved that film. ^_^
...and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Round 64: TOP 5 WORST LINES IN A MOVIE... EVER!

1. "Jack! This is where we first met!" - Rose (Kate Winslet) in Titanic (1997) Yes, and it's where you're going to bloody drown too, you silly b*tch!

2. "You had me at hello." - Dorothy (Renee Zellweger) in Jerry Maguire (1996) Uh, bye now.

3. "We're talking about my baby daughter - not some object!" - Lindy (Meryl Streep) in Evil Angels (1988) Not so much the line, more the accent in which it's delivered.

4. "They may take our lives, but they may never take our freedom!" - William Wallace (Mel Gibson) in Braveheart (1995) Or our American Express, incidentally.

5. "You will never know the exquisite pain of the guy who goes home alone." - Brian (Jason Lee) in Vanilla Sky (2001) Lines like that is WHY you go home alone.

Round 64: TOP 5 WORST LINES IN A MOVIE... EVER!

"Where evah will ah go? What evah will ah do?" - Gone With the Wind

"We're up a gum tree, Macca!" - Give My Regards to Broad Street

"Coming ready and up, boys." - Give My Regards to Broad Street

"It's clear that this cannot be settled by our knowledge of the Force, but by our skills with a lightsabre." - Star Wars: Attack of the Clones My favourite Star Wars film but the most pants line. Might as well have had George Lucas say, "We need a lightsabre fight now!"

"Khan! Khan!" - Star Trek, the Wrath of Khan.

Yes - both cringeworthy. However, not quite as bad as Paul's acting in the entire movie.

Sorry Paul. You may be a rocker, but you ain't no actor.

I excluded The Last King Of Scotland, because the blurb I was looking at said that it was released 2006, but it was released in the UK in January 2007 - so this is my new Top 5.

So you see, that as they say is that. - The Star Trek movie where they go backward through time and save the whales.

Love means never having to say you're sorry. - Love Story

Ours is a US, NTSC DVD which we can play because we have a multi-region player - I can tell you where I got it from if you like, but unless you have a multi-region player, it'd be no good to you. :(
