i think it would've been so hard to pick a song to end that film.
it was done very well i reckon. :)

on of the best uses of music ive ever seen had to be in vanilla sky.

the jeff buckley song "last goodbye" plays when tom cruise leaves the building jsut before he has a car crash and dies, then waking up and we dont figure he is dead till the end.

the fact that the song is "last goodbye" is the audiences clue that he dies...

i think i may have the story line/characters a bit confused, none the less you get the point

The Sound of Music!
Fellowship of the Ring.
The Company of Wolves had a good one (albeit appropriated)
pfft come to think of it most good movies have reasonable soundtracks, none have excellent ones.

i've got another few...

oh, i cannot go passed..."Downtown" (Petula Clark), ""Bookends" (Simon & Garfunkel) and "End of the World" (Skeeter Davis) all from Girl, Interrupted. Excellent music, even better film...

(and yes abu this one is probably a film for lesbians seeing that Angelina Jolie is in it......)
