Music Challenge – 25 days, 25 songs – Day 10

Carrying on with @jokossita’s music challenge that I came across on a post by @ravenruis. It’s getting confusing now as their lists are a bit different. I’ll stick with @jokossita’s – at least for today, and when it suits me. But I figure as long as I’m picking something from one of the lists, it’s close enough ;-)

Day 10: A song from your favourite movie

Oh, come on now, how is anyone supposed to pick one favourite movie?

Let’s narrow it down. It has to be a movie that I’ve seen more than once, or would like to see again. Still a long list. Where’s my pin?

First place

Ok, I’m going to call it – “Truly Madly Deeply” starring the delightful Juliet Stevenson, and one of my favourite ever actors, Alan Rickman. This was the first movie I saw him in, and who could not fall completely in love with him in it?

The clip I’m going to share I have actually shared before, after he died, but it’s worth sharing again. If you get a little teary, watching this clip of him singing Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Any More, I won’t judge.

And if you’d rather see the original version, from the Walker Brothers, who I also adore – here it is:

Second place

I’ve seen this movie countless times (at least 3) and sometimes with Mum, who loves it too. If you remember my post about the movies I’ve embarrassed myself crying in, you’ll remember one where I embarrassed Mum even more. (If you didn’t read that post, go and read it next and have a good old laugh at me.) Mum doesn’t like to cry in movies, while I actually quite like it. But when this movie gets to the bit where I’d start bawling, Mum would whip out some lollies (candies) and start loudly unwrapping them, anything to not cry. @themagus may have guessed by now – yes, it is indeed Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson in A Star Is Born.

Oh, but now I have to choose the song. Given that it’s full of songs, easier said than done. Let’s have one each. Here’s Kris with the opening track, Watch Closely Now. And you thought he was just a dreary country singer.

And from Barbra, Woman In The Moon

Third place

This is possibly my favourite ever New Zealand movie – Hunt For The Wilderpeople. Funny as can be. If you ever get chance to see it – DO IT!

Here’s the opening music. Maybe not the music I would choose, but some great opening shots of the kiwi bush.

Ok, that’s me for tonight. Over and out. Have a good weekend.

Thanks for reading and listening
