13. The Wedding Singer (1998) – Grow Old With You
Performed by Adam Sandler
14. Vanilla Sky (2001) – Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
Performed by Spiritualized
A really sad and beautiful song.
“All I want in life’s a little bit of love to take the pain away…”
15. Natural Born Killers (1994) – You Belong to Me
Performed by Bob Dylan
I really like Mickey Knox’s quote at the end: “I won’t forget about you. No matter where he takes you….Timbuktu, it don’t matter. Fate, you know? Nobody can stop fate…nobody can. And one of these nights soon…I’ll be coming for you.”
16. Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem (2003) – Digital Love
Performed by Daft Punk
“Last night I had a dream about you. In this dream I’m dancing right beside you. And it looked like everyone was having fun, the kind of feeling I’ve waited so long”
17. The Darjeeling Limited (2007) – Strangers
Performed by The Kinks
“Strangers on this road we are on. We are not two, we are one.”
18. Lost in Translation (2003) – Sometimes
Performed by My Bloody Valentine
“Close my eyes. Feel me now. I don’t know how you could not love me now.”
19. The Graduate (1967) – April Come She Will
Performed by Simon & Garfunkel
“A love once new has now grown old.”
Great song to reflect on, or be deeply depressed about, a lost love.
20. The Devil’s Rejects (2005) – Honeymoon Song
Performed by Banjo & Sullivan (Jesse Dayton)
This is a funny but dirty one. I’m not sure if it was actually played in The Devil’s Rejects, but it was released by a fake band created for the movie. Lyrics are NSFW.
21. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) – Everybody’s Got to Learn Sometime
Performed by Beck
“I need your loving like the sunshine.”
22. Dick Tracy (1990) – What Can You Lose
Performed by Madonna as Breathless Mahoney and Mandy Patinkin as 88 Keys
23. Great Expectations (1998) – Like a Friend
Performed by Pulp
The ending to this song is just awesome. I went ahead and included all the lyrics in their entirety below just because I like them so much. This song was also used to great effect in The Venture Bros season 4 finale.
Don’t bother saying you’re sorry
Why don’t you come in?
Smoke all my cigarettes againEvery time I get no further
How long has it been?
Come on in now
Wipe your feet on my dreamsYou take up my time
Like some cheap magazine
When I could have been learning something
Well, you know what I meanI’ve done this before
And I will do it again
C’mon and kill me baby
While you smile like a friend
Oh and I’ll come running
Just to do it againYou are the last drink I never should have drunk
You are the body hidden in the trunk
You are the habit I can’t seem to kick
You are my secrets on the front page every week
You are the car I never should have bought
You are the train I never should have caught
You are the cut that makes me hide my face
You are the party that makes me feel my ageYou’re like a car crash I can see but I just can’t avoid
Like a plane I’ve been told I never should board
Like a film that’s so bad, but I’ve just got to stay ’til the endLet me tell you now – it’s lucky for you that we’re friends
Thanks for reading! If you have any suggestions for songs I missed, let me know in the comment section.
