Nov. 16: Movie music

Did you know that there’s a new community over at dooce.com? Well, there is. I haven’t spent much time there yet—in fact, I finally just registered today—but some of the discussions have been interesting to follow. A popular one right now is about memorable movie scenes made even more memorable because of the music accompanying the scene.

The movie scenes that first came to my mind were the last scene in Sixteen Candles and the emergency C-section scene in She’s Having a Baby. It was no surprise that several members of the dooce.com community mentioned these two as well. Both of these movie soundtracks are next to impossible to find, so I’m gonna very generously and probably a bit illegally share these two scene-accompanying songs here. But only because I love you.

I can think of lots more memorable movie scenes—some from Love Actually, Singles, Toy Story 2, to name a few—but I don’t want to start a whole new discussion here when the one that initiated this is perfectly good and much more active. So share some of your favorite movie scenes here, or check out the boards at dooce.com and add to that discussion. Remember to ignore the trolls. She’s got lots. Fortunately, she’s got lots of clever, intelligent contributors who make it a site worth visiting.
