You Don't Have to Put On That Red Light...

There's a reason why Los Lobos' Beautiful Maria of My Soul is constantly being played on my iTunes playlist, Mambo Kings is way up high on my list of favourite movies. What other songs that I like came from movie soundtracks?

Let's see, there's Chris Cornell's You Know My Name (Casino Royale, but doesn't appear on the OST), Sugababes' Too Lost in You (Love Actually OST), Toploader's Dancin' in the Moonlight (A Walk to Remember OST), KT Tunstall's Suddenly I See (The Devil Wears Prada OST), The Clash's London Calling (Die Another Day OST), Linkin Park and Jay-z's mashup Numb / Encore (Miami Vice OST)...there's so many I can't really list them all.

Out of the top of my head, I can name the following movies as my favourites:

1. Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
   
   Revelation that Vader is Luke's father...kinda expected. Luke's expression: PRICELESS.
   
   
2. The Silence of the Lambs
   
   Anthony Hopkins was certainly creepy as Hannibal Lecter.
   
   
3. Gladiator
   
   "Roma Victor!"
   
   
4. Mambo Kings
   
   Antonio Banderas can certainly sing, or act like one.
   
   
5. Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan
   
   Perhaps the template for all Star Trek movies to come.
   
   
6. Casino Royale
   
   Bond is afterall, human.
   
   
7. Love Actually
   
   A feel good movie for adults, especially during Christmas time. Killer soundtrack
   
   
8. The Devil Wears Prada
   
   Imagine The Apprentice, but on the big screen
   
   
9. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
   
   Fast cars..and yes..drifting..and a serious load of Gaijin Smash (look that term up on the Internet)
   
   
10. The Bourne Identity
    
    Jason Bourne is James Bond, on steroids and loads of caffeine
    
    
11. Moulin Rouge
    
    This...is really good stuff. The rendition of Roxanne (originally by The Police) was very, very, very nice, the same goes for the rest of the movie.
