Top Five Soundtrack Songs


Music is an important part of a movie.  It enhances the mood and emotional impact of a scene- makes it scary, dramatic, exciting, funny, etc.

So, what follows are my Top Five Soundtrack Songs:


"Haunted Heart" (Christina Aguilera):  This song is from the start of the latest animated "Addams Family" movie.  It is a nice, haunting, beautiful song- a song fitting for introducing Mortica Addams.




"The Touch" (Stan Bush):  This is considered one of the best songs to appear in an animated film.  That film being "Transformers" from (1986).  Just a really energetic, rocking song.


"Hooked on a Feeling" (Blue Swede):  The Guardians of the Galaxy is known for it's classic songs- for me one of the more iconic ones from that movie is "Hooked on a Feeling".  A nice, bouncy, relaxed song that you can bop around to like Starlord on an alien planet looking for an Infinity Stone...


"Hunger City" (Cherry Bomb):  While "Howard the Duck" is considered a pretty "bad" film (I personally love it), the soundtrack was considered fairly decent.  The best song on it is this one featuring Lea Thompson singing as part of her movie band, "Cherry Bomb".


I'm a huge "Star Trek" fan- and that includes the music.  When I first heard the Jerry Goldsmith's main theme for "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," I loved it.  I was so pumped when it got reused as the theme for "Star Trek: The Next Generation!

So, there we have it- my Top Five Soundtrack Songs!  What are yours?

    It was Jerry Goldsmith not John Williams who did the Star Trek Motion Picture theme but you are right it gets you pumped.

      Many thanks for the correction. I often get the two great composers confused. I have corrected the mistake. :D

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
