only saw on the waterfront once, don't remember the music at all might just have to re-watch it. Movie is a CLASSIC.

and yeah sound wise, Heat is up there. I liked the use of sound in the shining alot to. It's hard to pinpoint what's special about it but it makes themovie all types of crazy, especially towards the end.

I was ready to be like %*+? But i thought about it and I actually agree. The dark knight had great sound effects. the opening scene always reminds me of HEATsoooo much

Watchmen needed a dark, foreboding,dreary score that would create tension up until the ending. the music helped ruin the movie for me.sounds of silence was horribly placed, hallelujah was misused, having all along the watchtower blaring when they reach veidt's watchtower was tacky ashell. Very dissapointing imo.

Oh man... first day of my film class the professor played this movie for us. Kids were freaking out ready to drop the class off this one movie alone.

Definitely separated the kids who wanted to discuss film and those who just wanted to watch movies and get an easy A.

A lot of good choices in here, my number 1 off the top of my head is probably The Graduate.

same thing happened to me. First day we get shown this movie and everyone started freaking out. The funny thing is, the class wasn't cinemarelated. It was a communications class.

That's because you weren't listening to Dark Side of the Moon at the same time.

Yea i think your suppose to be high.

The Hendrix choice I thought was great. Especially if you read the comic, at the end of the chapter they use "two riders wereapproaching..." so, I thought it fit perfectly. But the Leonard Cohen song and 99 Luft Balloons...not so much.
