Without an exception that I can think of, every time a Rolling Stones song is in a soundtrack I've thought the show or movie was really great. It isn't that the Stone's music makes the show for me, but it's certainly icing on the cake, and I can't think of any other bands that consistently show up in stuff I like. Kinda weird.  Anyone else noticed things like this? | ||

Yup. I was just thinking of this one earlier. "We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities." | |||

probably because Scorcese is addicted to their songs and he makes great movies. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

Hmm. I'm not so sure... "19th Nervous Breakdown" in Nine Months (1995) with Hugh Grant. "Shattered" in the TV film adaptation S.W.A.T. (2003) "Beast of Burden" in Fred Claus (2007) with Vince Vaughn. "Wild Horses" in the Farrelly Brothers' Stuck On You (2003) and of course "Jumpin' Jack Flash" in Whoopi Goldberg's Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986).This message has been edited.

Correlation is definitely not causation, but any film that can afford to shell out for Sir Mick and his backup band is not going to be skimping on the rest of the moviemaking frills - cast, directorial talent, screenwriting, special effects, props, etc.  | |||

Strangely whenever I think about the Stones in a soundtrack this is the first show I think of Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What's the first instance of this that you can remember? For me, it's 'Sympathy for the devil' in a made for TV movie with Peter Strauss called 'The Jericho Mile' (1979). I had to look up the name, but I did remember the rest. I think I could honestly say if it weren't for the 'Stones song, I would have forgotten that show years ago. I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11 ...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted] | |||

Believe it or not, I think it was the same song in an episode of "Hunter". If I remember correctly the bad guy was a contract killer, and I thought it was one of the best episodes of that show. So this goes back a ways for me as well. | |||

Maybe it's because they just have a shitload of songs? And they like the royalties! SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

Something relatively recent, although it is not the stones performing. | |||

GnR's cover of Sympathy at the end of Interview with a Vampire is pretty good. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

It's the Animals" "we gotta get out of this place" that seems t strike the strongest chord with the Viet Nam vets I know. I certainly am not taking anything away from the Stones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJVpihgwE18 | |||
