Almost Famous is one movie that really makes good use of music in relationship with whats going on in the picture. My favorite scene was the one where they're were all huddled in the tour bus, and Tiny Dancer was playing on the radio... loved that one!

Tiny Dancer! Almost Famous is one of my all-time favorite movies. Cameron Crowe is a filmmaker who knows exactly which song to play at any given scene. That scene where they all made peace with one another singing Tiny Dancer is a golden moment in cinema for me.

Napansin ko lang sa mga movies ngayon ang songs na ginagamit sa movies di original but existing songs na binabagay sa eksena sa movie. There was a time when movies contained nothing but originals songs.

Napansin ko lang sa mga movies ngayon ang songs na ginagamit sa movies di original but existing songs na binabagay sa eksena sa movie. There was a time when movies contained nothing but originals songs.

yup, and those existing songs were released way back in the 60s, 70s or 80s revived by modern groupies/singers which seems refreshingly new again. local movie makers should approach this trend to upbeat stiff scenes.

Actors/Actresses that have sang songs in the movies which became instant hits:

 

1. Keith Carradine (half-brother of Kung Fu's David Carradine and Lizzie Mcguire's Dad Robert Carradine) - lyrics and composed/sang by Keith from the movie NASHVILLE.

 

2. Gwyneth Paltrow - sang CRUISIN' from the movie DUETS with Huey Lewis.

 

3. Jennifer Lopez - was an actress first before she invaded the music scene, lipsynched Selena's Dreamin' from the movie SELENA.

 

4. Peter Fonda - sang "I'VE GOT THE LAST LAUGH" from the movie OUTLAW BLUES. although not necessarily a hit.
