Toon Tunes...and other movie songs

[Pelado]

Man of Constant Sorrow - if you don't know the movie we can't be friends...sjbh

Loved that song and movie. My wife was not a big fan of either.

What the hell is wrong with you two?

No kidding.

[Pelado]

What is your opinion on Ups, and whether they ever outnumber the Downs?

Sometimes, but not in Nottinham.

Where to start...

Is there any saving the music from Song of the South now that the movie has been cancelled by Disney?

Could we get Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah in another movie or something so it isn't cancelled as well?

That's a very upbeat and sing-able song. It's also pretty repetitive. It's easy to get stuck in your head and can be difficult to cut it loose.

QT films:

1992 Reservoir Dogs
1993 True Romance
1994 Pulp Fiction
Natural Born Killers
1995 Four Rooms
1996 From Dusk till Dawn
1997 Jackie Brown
2003 Kill Bill: Volume 1
2004 Kill Bill: Volume 2
2005 Sin City
2007 Grindhouse: Death Proof
Grindhouse: Planet Terror
2009 Inglourious Basterds
2012 Django Unchained
2015 The Hateful Eight
2019 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Of all of those...I have watched Reservoir Dogs, because I have a friend that ABSOLUTELY RAVED ABOUT IT, and I hated the thing. I was pissed that I sat through it. Pulp Fiction and NBK came out when I was on my mission. Have never had a desire to see either of them. I have seen a little bit here and there of a couple of them, but his movies all have the same feel to them.

Coen Brothers:

1984 Blood Simple
1985 Crimewave
1987 Raising Arizona
1990 Miller's Crossing
1991 Barton Fink
1994 The Hudsucker Proxy
1996 Fargo
1998 The Big Lebowski
The Naked Man
2000 O Brother, Where Art Thou
2001 The Man Who Wasn't There
2003 Intolerable Cruelty
2004 The Ladykillers
2007No Country for Old Men
2008 Burn After Reading
2009 A Serious Man
2010 True Grit
2012 Gambit
2013 Inside
2014 Unbroken
2015 Bridge of Spies
2016 Hail, Caesar!
2017 Suburbicon
2018 The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

So...a little mea culpa here. I loved Unbroken and Bridge of Spies. LOVED them. But they aren't typical Coen brothers movies which is probably why. No Country for Old Men was okay. True Grit was just okay. OBWAT had a good soundtrack, but the movie was weird as hell. Big Lebowski I didn't enjoy. Never saw Fargo. Don't get the nostalgic love for Raising Arizona.

Movies are a "to each their own...", but I typically don't do dark or odd.

I'm a bigger fan of Coen Brothers films than QT movies, but - getting this thread back on track - I do like Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon from Pulp Fiction. It sounded so much different from most other popular music at the time.

Wait a minute. You have only watched one of these movies all the way through? How can you form an opinion based on that?

What makes both QT and Coen Brothers films so great are the characters and the dialogue. I could watch Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglourious Basterds, Fargo, the Big Lebowski, OBWAT, True Grit, etc over an over just to enjoy the genius in script-writing. Sure, there are some duds in both lists, but these are some of the best films of our time. If you don't enjoy that, I feel kind of sad for you!

QT movies have outstanding soundtracks. Especially Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill.

[Bo Diddley]

Getting back to the toon tunes, I like Real Gone from Cars. I like You Got a Friend from Toy Story--my grandson & I sing that together. I also like Married Life from Up.

[Pelado]

Cruisin' from the movie Duets. I first remember hearing the song around 2003. I knew nothing about the movie and was intrigued to find that Gwyneth Paltrow was singing with Huey Lewis. Once I learned it came from Duets, I sought out the movie and watched it. Other than some ridiculous plot lines, I kind of liked the movie, including its rendition of Freebird.

All of his movies feel the same to me. I can jump into one of his films somewhere, not knowing who the director was, and figure it out pretty quick. His style isn't something I am into. It is the same way that I love anything that Steven Spielberg does...his movies are different, but they typically all have the same vibe to them.

You don't have to feel sorry for me. It is probably the same way that I look at folks that don't like superhero movies. Or people that think DC super hero movies are good. Heh. Everyone is different.

Ha. Touche'. Superhero movies mostly suck.

[Moliere]

I agree 100% on OBWAT. I've tried and tried. I just can't get into it. But all Coen Bros. movies? That's the kind of blanket statement that is wrecking society today. No need to throw the baby out with the bathwater!

I love the first half of OBWAT but I find the last half boring.

Again, haven't you only seen a few of them and "bits and pieces" of a few others?

No problem if you've watched a few and decided you don't want to watch any more, which is basically what I think you're actually saying.

Adhering to the threat's original purpose, a sentimental favorite is "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid.

For movies generally I've got dozens of faves, but oddly the first one that popped into my head was Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild" from Easy Rider, which played as Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and then Jack Nicholson head out on the highway, lookin' for adventure. It wasn't written for the movie, but it was still great. It was used a few years later with good comedic effect when Albert Brooks and his wife quit their jobs and hit the road in a Winnebago.
