The 77 Most Unforgettable Movie Songs - part 2



This is the 2nd part  of my post....Today I've thought of bringing you few of the most unforgettable movie songs of this era. Some of you may not heard these but try to see whether they are of any good ;))

60. The Knack, 'My Sharona' ('Reality Bites,' 1994)
The Knack's ode to cradle robbing inspired a spontaneous convenience-store dance party in Ben Stiller's slacker classic, proving just how much those Gen-Xers love their one-hit wonders. Surprisingly, Winona Ryder never dated anyone in the band. -- JP

Watch Video

59. Madonna, 'Into the Groove' ('Desperately Seeking Susan,' 1985)
The only thing that eluded Madge in the '80s was respect from Hollywood. It didn't help that her first dramatic role required her to do no acting at all, since "Susan" conveniently walked and talked exactly like ... Madonna. What range! It must have taken the costume designers ages to get her look just right. -- MTC

Watch Video

58. Sixpence None the Richer, 'Kiss Me' ('She's All That,' 1999)
When once-dorky Rachel Leigh Cook walked down the stairs and into the heart of oh-so-dreamy Freddie Prinze Jr. in this romantic comedy, offbeat adolescents everywhere learned that if you tried hard enough, you can actually earn the love and admiration of preppy, superficial douchebags. -- KD

Watch Video
57. Harry Nilsson, 'Everybody's Talkin' ('Midnight Cowboy,' 1969)
The only X-rated movie ever to win the Best Picture Oscar, 'Midnight Cowboy' was a racy portrait of innocence lost and the heartbreak of hustling. Nilsson's cover of this easygoing folk song sets the mood, and makes the film even more harrowing. -- JP

Watch Video

56. Boy George, 'The Crying Game' ('The Crying Game,' 1992)
Drag queens the world over still tear up when they hear this this smoky torch song byBoy George (originally recorded by Dave Berry). Good thing the producers didn't go with the film's original theme, 'Dude Looks Like a Lady.' -- MTC

Watch Video


55. Aimee Mann, 'Wise Up' ('Magnolia,' 1999)
'Save Me' got the Oscar nod, but this sad little ditty by 'Til Tuesday's former frontwomanwas so catchy, even the old dude on his death bed joins in the cast sing-along in 'Magnolia.' All together now! -- MTC

Watch Video

54. Harold Faltermeyer, 'Axel F' ('Beverly Hills Cop,' 1984)
Faltermeyer named this unlikely (and only) synth-pop hit after Axel Foley, Eddie Murphy's character in the film. Completing the concept, the song was recorded in the keys of F major and F minor. Those Germans are so clever! -- JP

Watch the 'Axel F' Video


53. Evanescence, 'Bring Me to Life' ('Daredevil,' 2003)
Do you think Amy Lee of Evanescence still cringes when she remembers that she owes Ben Affleck for her band's early success? Probably not as much as audiences cringed when they saw him in Double-D's ruby-red tights. -- MTC

Watch Video

52. Elliot Smith, 'Miss Misery' ('Good Will Hunting,' 1997)
As Matt Damon embarks on his solo road trip at the end of 'Good Will Hunting,' Smith's Oscar-nominated song forces us to reflect on the character's lonely condition -- and perhaps our own. Boo-hoo! Unfortunately, the late singer-songwriter -- who put a steak knife through his heart in 2003 -- knew that pain all too well. -- KD

Watch Video

51. Kermit the Frog, 'Rainbow Connection' ('The Muppet Movie,' 1979)
'The Muppet Movie' opens with Kermit picking his banjo and singing the best song about rainbows written since Dorothy landed in Oz. We're surprised this gem hasn't been covered by Clay Aiken or something. Not to give him any ideas! (Seriously, Clay ... don't.) -- JP

Watch Video

50. Q. Lazzarus, 'Goodbye Horses' ('The Silence of the Lambs,' 1996)
Sure, Buffalo Bill had a fetish for wearing human skins -- and God knows what he did with the other body parts -- but dude had a wicked CD collection. His superfreaky dance number in 'Silence of the Lambs' made us squirm, but it also unearthed a haunting tune by an obscure drag singer, which has now become a staple in hipster DJ sets. -- MTC

49. Geto Boys, 'Still' ('Office Space,' 1999)
Seems that 'Boyz 'N the Hood' have a lot in common with Boys in the Cubicles. The hook to this "beat for the beating" from the Geto Boys is savage, but doesn't hit nearly as hard as Michael Bolton's fist as it pummels a 30 GB hard drive in 'Office Space.' Download THIS, b----! -- MTC

Watch Video

48. The Creation, 'Making Time' ('Rushmore,' 1998)
Director Wes Anderson loves his montages, but this survey of Max Fischer's 18 extracurricular activities (including bee keeping, skeet shooting and calligraphy) in 'Rushmore' is his masterpiece. The Creation's 1966 mod-rock classic adds just the right edge for the most dangerous nerd in school. -- JP

Watch Video

47. The Doors, 'The End' ('Apocalypse Now,' 1979)
Francis Ford Coppola's notorious Vietnam War epic and the Doors' controversial murder-and-incest anthem were practically made for each other -- both are mysterious, melancholy and long as hell. The pairing produced one of the most arresting opening sequences ever committed to film. -- JP

Watch Video

46. R. Kelly, 'I Believe I Can Fly' ('Space Jam,' 1996)
Virtually every NBA montage of the past 10 years has featured this inspiring slow jam from R. Kelly. It all started in 'Space Jam,' when Michael Jordan teamed up with Bill Murray and a cartoon rabbit -- and proved that Tinsel Town can crap out a movie about anything. -- JP

The 77 Most Unforgettable Movie Songs


Today I've thought of bringing you few of the most unforgettable movie songs of this era. Some of you may not heard these but try to see whether they are of any good ;))


77. Coolio, 'Gangsta's Paradise' ('Dangerous Minds,' 1995)
Michelle Pfeiffer's character uses tough love to keep inner-city students in school and away from crime in 'Dangerous Minds,' but the real crime was that Coolio stole an entire Stevie Wonder song to create his biggest hit. -- Jason Persse

Watch Video








76. Dashboard Confessional,
'Vindicated' ('Spider-Man 2,' 2004)
In the second installment of Spidey's saga, Dashboard Confessional delivers one of the catchiest movie songs in history. It provided the right amount of whiny emo vocals and soaring rock riffs to capture both Peter Parker's love-struck identity crisis and his ass-kicking alter ego. -- Kim Davis

Watch the 'Vindicated' Video







75. Alanis Morissette, 'Uninvited' ('City of Angels,' 1998)
One year after Alanis penned this heavenly, Oscar-worthy tune for a syrupy film about angels, she was cast as God in Kevin Smith's brilliantly blasphemous 'Dogma.' Coincidence? -- M. Tye Comer

Watch Alanis Perform 'Uninvited' Live








                                    74. The Champs, 'Tequila' (
'Pee-wee's Big Adventure,' 1985)
The Champs' sax-heavy surf-rock classic made a major comeback when a peculiar man-boy named Pee-Wee donned a pair of platform shoes, hopped up on the bar, and danced his little heart out for the Satan's Helpers motorcycle gang. -- JP

Watch Video





 


73. Nico, 'These Days'
('The Royal Tenenbaums,' 2001)
Time comes to a stop -- and this Jackson Browne-penned heartbreaker (sung by Nico) swells -- as Tenenbaum siblings Margo and Richie are reunited at the bus depot. Only a song this gorgeous could make their incestuous attraction seem sweet. -- JP

Watch Video








72. Bruce Springsteen, 'Streets of Philadelphia'
('Philadelphia,' 1993)
Bruce's Oscar-wining ballad was inspired by the pioneering film 'Philadelphia' that exposed the loneliness and discrimination faced by AIDS victims. Fifteen years later, both the movie and the music are still as poignant as ever. -- Mindy Monez

Watch Video








71. The Pixies, 'Where Is My Mind
' ('Fight Club,' 1999)
David Fincher's brutal, split-personality brawlfest ends with fireballs, falling skyscrapers and this sanity-questioning alt-rock anthem from the Pixies, which became the ideal musical accompaniment for urban armageddon. -- JP

Watch Video









70. Bon Jovi, 'Blaze of Glory' ('Young Guns II,' 1990)
Emilio Estevez originally asked that 'Wanted Dead or Alive' become the theme to hisWild West It-Boy blockbuster, but Jon Bon wouldn't allow it. Instead, he wrote 'Blaze of Glory
' and roped in an Oscar nomination. -- JP

Watch Video












69. OMD, 'If You Leave' ('Pretty in Pink,' 1986)
Written especially for the John Hughes masterpiece, 'If You Leave' became OMD's biggest hit. We may never understand why Andie choose Blane over Duckie, but this rousing synth-pop classic made it a little easier to swallow. -- JP

Watch Video









68. ('An Officer and a Gentleman,' 1982)
This kissy-face hit by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes kicks in just when Richard Geresweeps Debra Winger into his arms and carries her away from her crappy factory job and into the sunset. 'An Officer and a Gentleman' is one of the most romantic dramas ever, and of all the movie songs in history, this one still turns womens' knees to jelly. -- JP







67. Seal, 'Kiss From a Rose' ('Batman Forever,' 1995)
In 'Batman Forever,' Val Kilmer didn't fill the Caped Crusader's tights as well as Michael Keaton did in the original -- but at least 'Kiss From a Rose' was better than Prince's 'Batdance.' And you KNOW Seal sings it to Heidi Klum, like, every day. -- MTC

Watch the 'Kiss From a Rose' Video








66. Roxette, 'It Must've Been Love' ('Pretty Woman,' 1990)
It's unfathomable that a broke-ass prostitute would turn down a free penthouse and spending account from a John, but somehow, Julia Roberts made it believable in 'Pretty Woman,' with the help of a cheesy little Roxette song. -- KD

Watch Video









65. Air, 'Playground Love
' ('The Virgin Suicides,' 1999)
Sofia Coppola proves time and time again that her biggest asset (besides her last name) is her impeccable taste in movie songs. Props to her for pegging Air to compose the atmospheric score for her directorial debut, which resulted in this downbeat beauty. -- MTC

Watch the 'Playground Love' Video






64. Audrey Hepburn, 'Moon River' ('Breakfast at Tiffany's, 1961)
This Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini composition in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's,' written specifically to fit Audrey Hepburn's limited vocal range, won the 1961 Best Song Oscar. Oddly, no one thought to put out Hepburn's original version until after her death in 1993. -- JP

Watch Video








63. Tina Turner, 'We Don't Need Another Hero'
('Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome,' 1985)
Riding high on her early-'80s comeback, Tina got cast as Mel Gibson's silver-haired nemesis in the 'Mad Max' sequel and recorded this bombastic ballad about a better life beyond the Thunderdome. -- MTC

Watch the 'We Don't Need Another Hero' Video








62. Katrina and the Waves, 'Walking on Sunshine' ('High Fidelity,' 2000)
From 'The Secret of My Success' to 'American Psycho,' 'Walking on Sunshine' has become one of cinema's most reliable guilty pleasures. Its diabetes-inducing sweetness made it the perfect opening track for Jack Black's so-lame-it's-cool "Monday Morning Mixtape" in 'High Fidelity.' -- JP

Watch Video







61. The Jesus & Mary Chain, 'Just Like Honey' ('Lost in Translation,' 2003)
We'll never know what Bill Murray whispers to Scarlett Johansson in the last scene of this subtle romance (set in anything-but-subtle Tokyo), but the hazy guitars and moody vocals of this shoegazer classic by the Jesus & Mary Chain summed up the pair's pained emotions perfectly. Score another one for Sofia. -- MTC

Watch Video








So wait here to see the next part of my post and to see whats number 1 :) Enjoy!!

10 Hottest Aliens in Movies


Let me tell you why I love science fiction movies. For a start there are the spacecrafts, the mysterious and diverse planets, and the rich and intelligent plots. But also, there are the babes. Ah, the babes! How lucky we are that the writers, directors and producers of these movies seem hell-bent on festooning their outer-space adventures with totally weird, totally hot alien eye candy from start to finish. It might be an odd attraction, but attraction it is. Here we list our ten personal favorites.



10. Neytiri (Avatar)



Yeah it’s weird, but she was oddly hot, and there are probably weirder entries on the list, despite the frankly creepy implications of the ‘sex’ scene. For your very own creepy Avatar themed bedroom fun, why not get your girlfriend to draw some big eyes on a blue plastic bag with a marker pen and wear it over her head. It’s less damaging than being caught watching the DVD with your pants around your ankles and 3D glasses on.

9. Serleena (Men in Black 2)


Lara Flynn Boyle’s role in Men in Black 2 was as a shape-shifting alien queen called Serleena, and she was so hot she made the film watchable. The ex-Twin Peaks star has done the rounds mostly on the small screen, making MIB 2 a rare starring role for the raven-haired beauty. In our opinion, with cans like hers she should have been allowed to play a shape-shifting alien in every film ever to come out of Hollywood. She’d certainly have livened up A Few Good Men.

8. Laliari (Galaxy Quest)


Laliari: the only woman/thing we can think of that looks sexy with tentacles (apart from Serleena, that is). Galaxy Quest’s Laliari, played by Texan-born Missi Pyle, gave away her secret during a make-out scene where she began sprouting octopus-esque appendages. Once we got over the initial shock, it didn’t take long to warm to the idea. Just think what she could do with those things in bed…

7. Anna (V)


If aliens are meant to be so intelligent, then why do they seem to consistently send leaders to Earth who have massive bulging foreheads, spindly fingers and flabby green bellies? Send a leader that looks like V’s Anna, and you’ll have the world’s leaders in the palm of your extraterrestrial hand. There’s no way Obama and the boys could resist succumbing to her naughty short haired sexiness!

6. Oola (Return of the Jedi)


Leia’s main hotness rival in the original Star Wars trilogy, Oola was Jabba’s Twi’ilek dancing girl. She and her crew of palace babes entertained the bounty hunters with their atrocious music (since digitally remastered) and hot dancing (retained from the original). Sadly she met her demise in a rather sudden and messy fashion as brunch for the Rancor. What a waste.

5. Leeloo (The Fifth Element)


Underrated sci-fi epic The Fifth Element featured a ditzy, tough as hell, red-headed alien babe as its protagonist. Played by Mila Jovovich, Leeloo spent a satisfyingly large amount of time showing just enough skin to get us all warmed up, and not so much that we couldn’t watch it when we were 12.

4. Caprica Six (Battlestar Galactica)


Who would have ever thought there could be a redeeming feature to the world’s most, er, earnest sci-fi franchise? Sure, Battlestar Galactica had its moments back in the day. But there was only so much of the same shot of plastic models fighting in space one could take before throwing an implement at the TV due to perilous levels of boredom. Then the new series appeared with improved scripts and Tricia Helfer’s barely clad space globes, and all of a sudden we were addicted again. She might technically be a robot, but she’s certainly not made from metal, and she’s definitely not from Earth. What’s more, there are thousands of identical copies of her.

3. Aayla Secura (Star Wars Episodes II and III)


Another hot Twi’lek from the Star Wars universe, Aayla was a Jedi Master with blue skin and the standard bizarre head tails. Neither attribute failed to impress in a sci-fi series which, Padme Leia aside, was remarkably short of other-worldly eye candy. Like her other main competitor, Oola, Aayla also enjoyed wearing various outfits which would have been more appropriate on Tatooine than Hoth, if you catch our drift (no pun intended!).

2. T’Pol (Star Trek: Enterprise)




Not to be confused with ’80s pop group T’Pau, T’Pol was a saucy Vulcan temptress who added a whole new dimension to the old joke… Vulcanised rubber? Spock’s condom. Played by the generally smokin’ Jolene Blalock, she is technically a MILF according to her Star Trek age. Only Helen Mirren looks as good at 65.
A particular high for fans of T’Pol was the foxy knife fight seen above. You pop your favorite Star Trek characters in an alternate dimension, and they bare their midriffs. Whatever next?

1. Sil (Species)


Sil from Species did an awful lot for the genre. Where do we even begin with her? From a DNA splicing experiment gone wrong (don’t ask), she escaped and grew rapidly into a hot, 20-something female whose main goal was to have sex with as many virile males as possible. Were this to happen in real life, and this were how all the aliens turned out, we reckon we’d be happy to see the human race overtaken.

Bonus Entry: Mary the three boobed prostitute (Total Recall)


“It’s times like this I wish I had three hands!” One of the most awesome quotes of all time, courtesy of the discovery of this Martian prostitute’s special party trick. Sheer sci-fi comedy genius. You might have been expecting to see this lovely lady earlier – however, while she might be from Mars, she’s a mutant, not an alien. Nevertheless, for sheer novelty value, she deserves a mention alongside these off-world honeys!

Scarlett Johansson & Sean Penn: All Over Each Other at White House Correspondents' Dinner!




Not even being in the presence of the president could put a damper on Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn's passion.

The odd couple couldn't keep their hands off of each other during the White House Correspondent's Dinner Saturday night in D.C.


ScarJo sat on Sean's lap at one point, according to the New York Post, while UsWeekly said the two had an "intense" makeout during the dinner.


And interestingly enough, the two went MIA in the middle of the event:
TWITTER: Follow PartyGirl
The duo left the event for an hour before returning with Sean's tie askew.
We're sure they were just taking a really long smoke break, discussing foreign policy or something else equally innocent.


It was a late night for ScarJo and Sean, who both later attended Bloomberg and Vanity Fair's party.


Despite their dinnertime PDA, they didn't take photos together once inside the event. Instead, Scarlett posed with her brother Hunter and Bradley Cooper, among other VIPs.
But paps caught the amorous twosome exiting the bash hand-in-hand around 3 a.m.
Nice to see 50-year-old Sean can keep up with someone almost half his age, huh?

Want to See One of Kate and Will's Wedding Gifts?



Kate and Will have decided to skip a formal wedding registry, and instead are requesting that well-wishers donate to one of the organizations listed on their charitable gift fund website.*
But that's not going to stop the flood of extravagant custom gifts that typically accompany a
royal wedding. One gift they'll be receiving is the custom perfume set pictured above. The Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie of Harrods has commissioned perfumer Clive Christian to create a unique presentation of his and hers No. 1 Perfumes (a.k.a. the World's Most Expensive Perfume, at $5,500 for 1 oz. of pure perfume) for Kate and Will. The hand-cut crystal bottles, each etched in gold with the couple's initials and featuring a diamond in the collar, will be presented side by side in a black case hand-embroidered with the royal coat of arms.
The Clive Christian collection is actually a revival of the oldest perfume house in Britain, the Crown Perfumery, which has a long history with the royal family—Queen Victoria honored it in 1872 when she granted the company the right to use the image of her crown. When Christian took over in 1999, he created the No. 1 Perfume, of which only 1,000 bottles are released each year. The men's scent contains notes of ancient Indian sandalwood and Arabian jasmine sambac, while the women's fragrance features Indian jasmine, Tahitian vanilla, rose, and orchids. (Katie Holmes wore it when she married Tom Cruise.) And if you've got an extra $865 lying around and feel the urge to douse yourself in the regal fragrance as well, the No. 1 Perfume spray is available at Bergdorf Goodman. —Lauren Matthews
*Thought giving to charities in lieu of asking for gifts was standard royal practice? It's not—Kate and Will are actually the first British royals to ask solely for donations. (Princess Diana and Prince Charles had a wedding gift registry that included such items as a gourmet barbecue set and a pair of cockatoos—yes, cockatoos.)
