The music supervisor really earned her stripes with the needle drops we hear in the first act. Because almost every song played at the dockside bar is perfect.
It's really a shame that Hollywood has stopped making movies about townies.
Hungry Heart squeaks by as my favorite Springsteen song (it's about leaving Baltimore, and was scooped from Joey Ramone, how can it not be?) and obviously has a great cinematic needle drop history, but my favorite use is in David Simon's Show Me a Hero miniseries. It really works in narratives of idealistic men charging headfirst into tragedy.
I need to see that miniseries! No excuse really given how much I love The Wire. (Of course Simon used that needle drop though. I bet it's his favorite Springsteen song too.)
I’m not sure how I missed this one last month, but I adore this movie. Nice article as per the usual. Love it.
Thanks so much pal! I appreciate you (and your hungry heart).
So you're saying butts is NOT a literal maritime theme?
You know, when you put it that way, maybe I'm selling ZZ Top short.
