With the sad death of Aretha Franklin I thought we should have a music in films thread. A tribute to the Queen of Soul. The best tune in a fillum was obviously Aretha singing Respect Think (being a dozy twunt I said Respect when as @Don Diaz rightly says it was Think, what a silly cunt I are being) in the Blues Brothers, winner, no contest needed. What a fantastic voice that lady had, I am not a big fan of soul music, but fucking blimey she was great.
There have been other motion picture talkies wot have also had some cracking tunes in them. I will start with my top 3, not necessarily my favourite tunes but tunes that perfectly done the business in the fillum. I can list loads as usual, but I will show self restraint and let you blokes and ladies (are you still here?) list their faves.
1R Think espect, Aretha Franklin, Blues Brothers
2 Tubular Bells, Mike Oldfield, The Exorcist*
3 Stuck In The Middle With You Stealers Wheel, Reservoir Dogs**
* Fuck that scared the fucking doodahs out of me, to this day I have never been able to watch the whole Exorcist film and listening to the 'Bells' album gives me the shivers.
** Fucking blimey, what the actual fuck? Chilling or what! Fuck!
