“Goooooooood morning, Vietnam! Hey, this is not a test! This is rock and roll! Time to rock it from the Delta to the D.M.Z.!”
Adrian Cronauer in “Good Morning Vietnam”
Adding to yesterdays posting, I thought about other things I usually take from movies. One thing — irrespective of the quality of the movie — are new favorite songs. In the best cases — with good movies — these songs really condense a movie. Looking at my iTunes database, I stumbled upon all of the following songs via movies or series. There are many more, but after thirty or so I thought that’s enough. BTW, I tried to insert links to YouTube, but I did not listen to the full tracks, so I’m not sure whether they work — nor for how long they will work, given that I do not upload these videos. But I’m guessing there will be some other uploads available.
