classic stuff! Who can forget Micheal J. Fox doing the duckwalk then going a bit over the top in a Van Halen stylee, and hanging off the back off a jeep on a skateboard, which when you're 12 makes "power of love" the greatest song EVER! Speaking of which, a friend of mine became a big fan of Huey Lewis after seeing him in "Duets" (which is a surprisingly enjoyable movie) and she had a couple of his recent albums yet was COMPLETELY unaware of his 80s heyday or that he was on the Back to the Future Soundtrack. Bizarre!

Yes, when I was young I wanted to be Marty McFly. Huey Lewis also play on the radio as he wakes up back in 1985 ("Back In Time") and DID YOU KNOW? that Huey Lewis is the man who tells Marty that his band are just too darn loud at the audition? You do now!

Aphex Twin's 'Nanou 2' at the end of Dead Man's Shoes. Unforgettable. That piece of music coupled with that devastating climax to the film left me speechless for about an hour!!!!

Dude, what about the theme from 'Jaws', the two most famous notes in Motion Picture Soundtrack Composition. Da dah, da dah, da dah da dah da dah da dah, Doodly doo !

True, True.....Williams actually discovered that theme by accident apparently. But when you think of almost every film Williams has been involved in, you think of the music eg. Star Wars

Don't forget Williams' work on the Indiana Jones Films too.

Yeah, as I said almost every film he is involved with the score is very memorable, sometimes even moreso than the film.

actually, I like 'Your Face' by the Frames in Disco Pigs when Cillian Murphy is smashing the dude's head in with an ashtray. Just because all the other sounds are muted apart from the song. It's pretty cool. And OBVIOUSLY Bohemian Rhapsody in Wayne's World and Ballroom Blitz in Wayne's World also. The Shins song in Garden State is cool as well, when Natalie Portman takes off her headphones and makes Zach Braff listen. Time of My Life in Dirty Dancing (sue me now), and Blue Moon in Grease is excellent. Finally, Bang Bang in Kill Bill 2. GOLD.

I like the way every c**ting American show about beautiful teens coming to terms with things manages to sqeeze that Bic f**king Runga song into every episode. Twice if possible. Also the Aimee Mann one in Magnolia was nice.

second that, can't remember 'Low Ryder' in Dazed and Confused, but that had an all round rocking soundtrack. What a film, that, both Waynes Worlds and the Big Lebowski... ultimate hangover quadrology
