Hang Me, Oh Hang me - Inside Llewyn Davis

 

I remember when this film was released! It was aiming for Oscar buzz if I remember rightly and didn't quite get it. This is however the first time that I have heard the song and well it's a nice acoustic song that is hard to judge without the wider context of the film. The film obviously has its fans here though as 3 other songs from the film received votes, albeit this was the highest scorer.

Newsflash! Two songs I know coming up!!!

Mad World - Donnie Darko

Footloose - Footloose

 

Ah finally a proper movie song! Footloose is the first big name from the world of 80s dance movies that we will see in this list and isn't it so fun? I mean watch that scene and tell me the 80s wasn't a lot more awesome than we think of it being. And hey!" Kevin Bacon! Are we going to see footloose again? Who knows, maybe I will confuse it with another dance film  

 

As for Donnie Darko, that song is less fun. It somehow became Christmas number 1 in the UK one year which was bizarre as it just screams XMas time doesn't it? But it is infinitely more suited to its scene than to Christmas so that is good.

"Wow, you'd never guess that everyone at our school is a professional dancer." 

 

1984 >>> 2011 

 

Ugh to that country version

[baumer]

Footloose by Kenny Logging didn't make top 100?

 

Fuck this list.

[The Panda]

Ol Man River and White Christmas missing the top 100 is a big shame on the forums.

I was hoping for the Old School version but still...

Sound of Silence - The Graduate

Simon and Garfunkel put together a great soundtrack to this film. And even if its kind of weird today seeing Dustin Hoffman in the role of sexy young piece of manmeat, it still doesn't make that history any less true.

 

It is again not much of a spoiler to say that we may return to this film again later in the list (although in the early going, this was actually the top voted Graduate song for a while), let's get right onto the cusp of the top 100 now with some Disney magic...

Prince Ali - Aladdin

well it's been about 15 songs since we had some Disney and it's a first entry for Aladdin (A film that may be a good bet for most songs on the list, but we shall see how that comes to pass later). It cannot be understated how much Robin Williams revolutionised Animated Voice acting. The man was a force of nature and for a man with the musical talent of a spoon to pull this off is just pretty damn awesome too.

 

Welcome to the List Aladdin.

     Hoffman didn't even know why Nichols chose him but he was chosen for his awkward loser-ness, not his hotness.  Redford wanted the part but Nichols told him him he could never believably be a loser.

 

Quote

 

During filming, Life magazine visited the set and cruelly validated Hoffman’s self-loathing. “If
Dustin Hoffman’s face were his fortune, he’d be committed to a life of poverty,” Life said. “With a schnoz

that looks like a directional signal, skittish black-beady eyes and a raggedy hair-cap,  he stands a slight 5′ 6″,

weighs a mere 134 pounds and slouches like a puppet dangling from string.  All in all, he resembles a swarthy Pinocchio.”

Reflections was on my list, and the only reason "She" may not have been on mine, was because I forgot.

Good job chasmmi, I'm exited to see what gets in top 100 and how high La marseillaise from Casablanca will rank.

 

Thanks for doing this, I think it's been a great list so far can't wait for the next entries tommorow.

In Heaven - Eraserhead

 

Okay Xanadu, I apologise, all is forgiven because wtf in all that is holy was that?

 

I'm sorry I cannot add more to that but I need to move on people I just give up and begin sobbing in a corner somewhere.

 

 

 

It didn't even make the top 100?!

 

[Plain Old Tele]

Also, dammit, I meant to include Starman/The Martian and totally forgot. 

 

Also, who voted for "I Can Go the Distance"? I need to ban them.

Damn, do I miss Howard Ashman. 

 

I wish they kept the intro verses:

 

Someone who tamed the Cyclops
Then fought forty thieves, single-hand
He’s richer than Croesus, he goes where he pleases  (fantastic)
And this time he’s chosen your land
So here he is now with his band

 

This reminds me I also forgot to their Little Shop Of Horrors most notably Somewhere That's Green

I dunno, it's still kind of a victory any time any Lynch work makes it into a top list here.
