Hey Wireheads-
I have noticed that there are many movies out there that use U2's
music as part of their soundtrack. Some movies use their music better
than others: some good examples I have seen are "Fearless" (WTSHNN
playing in the car while Jeff Bridges drives his car into the wall) and
"Blown Away" (Tommy Lee Jones buys The Joshua Tree tape and sings With
Or Without You and ISHFWILF). Anyway, my point is, what other movies
have you noticed U2's music in, and how much did it affect the film?
The first time I saw "Fearless" (a great fillm!) I didn't even notice U2
in the background because I was so into the scene, and the music only
added to the experience. It didn't sidetrack me at all, and I'm a huge
fan!
Also, maybe to start a new thread, what U2 songs do you think are
the most "cinematic?" What I mean by that is, what songs could you
picture as adding to the overall emotional effect of a certain scene in
a movie? Some examples I have are: One Tree Hill, October, Red Hill
Mining Town, Walk to the Water, and of course One. Hopefully this will
create some good discussion on our faithful U2 list.

Peace,
Dave A

P.S. As for the Wedding Song question, I would love to have U2 sing
their rendition of Unchained Melody.
