Springsteen was consistent in delivering his best songs from the 90’s on film soundtracks (e.g. “Missing” which appears at the beginning of Sean Penn’s The Crossing Guard (1995) and “Lift Me Up” from the end credits of John Sayles’ incredible Limbo (1999))

The Hunger Games soundtracks kept this going in the 2010s

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 2013

I know Cale and Buckley had already released their covers years earlier, but didn't the "Shrek" soundtrack really jumpstart the "Hallelujah" revival?"

Yeah, and that led to Buckley’s version being used in a lot of 9/11 memorial montages a few months later

We're going to have to deal with the Small Soldiers soundtrack (1998) at some point.

1. "War" (Bone Thugs-n-Harmony with Henry Rollins, Tom Morello and Flea)
2. "Another One Bites The Dust (Small Soldiers Remix)" (Queen featuring. Wyclef Jean, Pras, Free & Canibus)

(which I mentioned upthread 18 years ago - sheesh)

ha I think this thread has my one of my first ever posts on ILX. I don't remember posting under that name but it's definitely me. I was also completely OTM.

The NIN Dead Souls cover is great fuiud.

The Henry Rollins Suicide cover is dogshit

The Pantera cover of Poison Idea is a bit rubbish but listen to the original it fucking rules

More xpost Springsteen songs for or on soundtracks In his acceptance speech, he said the Oscar should have been shared with Neil Young:

1. "Streets of Philadelphia" Bruce Springsteen 3:56

...The director deliberately asked Bruce Springsteen to make the feature song for this film. However, Springsteen's first contribution, "Tunnel of Love," was rejected by Demme.[29]

It is notable for being one of the first mainstream Hollywood films to explicitly address HIV/AIDS and homophobia, in addition to being one of the first mainstream Hollywood films to portray gay people in a positive light.

That's from 1993 (Spin Doctors '93 as Hell)

An interesting fact about PHILADELPHIA is that, per Jonathan Demme, when he screened the film at the White House, Bill Clinton had to “excuse himself to go to the bathroom” during every intimate scene

As a Saint Etienne completist I’ve got the soundtrack to 1998 film Mojo somewhere. Never seen it but soundtrack features some pretty good covers of early 60s tracks along with some period pieces.

― beamish13,

So he only left once.

I think Demme meant every scene where Hanks/Banderas showed affection towards each other, of which there are several instances

The guy did sign the Defense of Marriage Act and pretended like it didn’t exist in his autobiography.

The Trainspotting soundtracks are two soundtrack albums released following the film adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel of the same name.

The first album was released in February 1996 in the UK and 9 July 1996 in the US. The comparatively huge fanbase for both the film and the original soundtrack prompted a release of a second soundtrack on 21 October 1997. This second album included songs from the film that didn't make the cut for the first album, as well as songs that didn't appear in the final film, but were involved at earlier stages or were used as inspiration by the filmmakers, and one duplicate song.

I wasn't on ilx 18 years ago, but I was probably one of the DJs that j0n williams listened to play the songs on the soundtrack he mentions 18 years ago... on modern rock radio when he was in 8th grade ... we had computerized playlists, I had no choice ... sorry

I never picked up that second Trainspotting soundtrack CD, but always liked that they included "Golden Years", which was spotlighted in the book.

Me, Myself & Irene

A1 Foo Fighters– Breakout
A2 Smash Mouth– Do It Again
A3 Third Eye Blind– Deep Inside Of You
A4 The Offspring– Totalimmortal
A5 Ellis Paul– The World Ain't Slowin' Down
A6 Wilco– Any Major Dude Will Tell You
A7 Ivy– Only A Fool Would Say That
A8 Hootie & The Blowfish– Can't Find The Time To Tell You
B1 Brian Setzer Orchestra– Bodhisattva
B2 The Push Stars– Bad Sneakers
B3 Marvelous 3– Reelin' In The Years
B4 Pete Yorn– Strange Condition
B5 Ben Folds Five– Barrytown
B6 Billy "Pink" Goodrum– Razor Boy
B7 Tom Wolfe (2)– Where He Can Hide

A little disappointed they couldn't get Dan covers out of the Foos, 3EB, Offspring, and Hootie.

Curious to hear BF5’s Barrytown and Setzer’s Bodhisattva.

Lily Tomlin was nominated for an American Comedy Award as "Funniest Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture" for her performance in this picture.

(For) The Craft: Music From The Motion Picture...The tracks in film, titled "Sick Child", "Fallin'" and "Scorn", performed by Siouxsie and the Banshees, Connie Francis and Portishead, respectively, were omitted from the soundtrack due to copyright issues from their record labels. However, they were only included in the film as part of an arrangement with PolyGram Film & Television Licensing. An uncredited bonus track, "Bells, Books, and Candles", composed by Graeme Revell for the film's score, was included on the soundtrack.

god Our Lady Peace was an assault on ears

Sorry, I should have put more spaces in the lines, but yeah it's "Tomorrow Never Knows" covered by Our Lady Peace and so on.

The Letters To Cleo track is nice--they even brought in Greg Hawkes for keyboards!

...and that Love Spit Love Smiths cover had an afterlife as the theme to Charmed (iirc).

god Our Lady Peace was an assault on ears

One of the first bands I wrote about for Alternative Press, and my first time leaving the country for a story; the label flew me and a publicist to Toronto.

National Lampoon's Senior Trip

1 Our Lady Peace–Starseed
2 The Muffs–Red Eyed Troll
3 Matthew Sweet–Ultrasuede
4 311–Outside
5 God Lives Under Water*–Tortoise

8 Shoveljerk–Killing My Buzz
9 Phunk Junkeez–B-Boy Hard
10 Morphine (2)–Yes
11 Hayride–A Hard Deer's Night
12 Seven Day Diary–Flounder
13 The Jayhawks–Tomorrow The Green Grass

Our Lady Peace were/are <HUGE> in Houston for some reason.

xp Morphine placement reminds me about 1994 indie film Spanking the Monkey, which used several of their tracks (and was the first time I encountered the band).

WTF, Senior Trip was Jeremy Renner's first film.

xxxp unperson: Sounds good! How did it go with the band? I don't remember them, must've been before my job in the CD store.

Senior Trip is still the first thing I always think of Renner in. He IS D’Agostino.

Matt Frewer delivers every line with such conviction.

“Senator BUNGHOLE?”

Morphine got around: "Mile High" is on yon Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead.

Some of those Senior Trip bands* sound like they came from a '90s Band Name Generator'...'Daisyhaze'? 'Shoveljerk'?

*All of whom were on Capricorn, I was think, who put out the album.

― my opinionation (Hamildan), Tuesday, February 21, 2023 9:19 AM

oh there were many of these hiphop/r+b instances. i was just posting about outkast's contribution to the nothing to lose album. "high school high" was always a big favorite for me and yeah: not a great film and one of those instances where it almost felt like the film was created to promote the soundtrack. with so much `90s revival` talk, how has the "bohemian rhapsody" cover not gotten a second life?

others in that style:
the show
panther
rhyme & reason
bad boys

...and so many more.

Seems like a lot of the R&B/Hip Hop soundtracks weren't as transparently junky and cynically constructed as the Rock ones.

Jon Lovitz’s radio presets changing the second he approaches the border of the “inner city” in High School High never fails to amuse me.
