Some films use songs to fill the spaces in otherwise boring movies, but they are not necessarily right, nor do they further the plot in a real sense.
What songs & movies do you feel were made for each other, even though not intended to be together at inception?
I just saw Ricky Gervaise in "GHOST STORY" (which I loved).
The use of "I'm Looking Through You" for the opening number in the opening scene was brilliant & witty...best use of a BEATLE song?!
We find that Greg Kinnear's character is a cheating scum of a married man, as a speeding bus takes him out in the first moments. He stands apart looking at the scene, only to realize that he has died when a man walks right through him. Key up>> "I'm Looking Through You.'
Made me smile with the pun and wit of it all.
"I'm Looking Through You"...Ringo on the Hammond!
