What this quiz tells me is that bad movies generally utilise bad music.

BAAKKEERRRR - 8. A Life Less Ordinary
BAAKKEERRRR - 9. Arthur’s (?? a guess…)

Zimmer 20. Tom Jones (?)

  1. Romeo and Juliet

Zimmer. 6. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

  1. Jack Rabbit slims twist contest
  1. Marvin Gay?
  1. You’ve got a way

I thought Christopher Cross and Peter Allen also had a hand in this.

In fact, I thought the legend was that Allen got an Oscar for the sole lyrical contribution of ‘…is fall in love.’

Dingus - 9 - Arthur’s

Dang!

They did, as did Carol Bayer Sager ( Bacharach’s wife )
4 Oscar winners, 1 song.

Peter Allen wrote the line about being caught between the moon & NYC after being stuck in a holding pattern over JFK.

I was under the illusion that Carole Bayer Sager’s significant other was Marvin Hamlisch (The Sting) and that she wrote You’re Moving Out Today about giving Marv the lemonade.

But she was otherwise hitched to Burt Packrack.

Re: q1, you sure it’s a 1996 movie? I know of one that was earlier.

13 - simmo41 - Atomic
17 - simmo41 - Thelma & Louise (total guess)

20 band was Hot Chocolate, no idea who the singer is

13 - I know Blondie’s Atomic was in it, so I’ll guess that it was actually Sleeper doing that song?

1 - Definitely 1996. Sean Bean and Emily Lloyd were the stars.

17 - Susan Saradon and Sean Penn stars. Tim Robbins directed.
