Edgar Ray Killen, involved in the 1964 Freedom Summer Murders as a Klansman and would inspire the 1988 film Mississippi Burning (the reason I wanted to note that passage here).

Re: Passages
I’ve been on a 90’s era Irish rock kick lately-Ash, Cranberries and Hothouse Flowers have been on constant play...what a loss.

Re: Passages
While the Cantonese version of the track over the end credits of Chungking Express is the iconic use of the song in cinema, it did also turn up a couple of years after that over the opening scenes of the Nora Ephron film re-teaming Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, You've Got Mail (in its English language version naturally!)

Ah, of course! It's been ages since I've seen the film, I forgot the recording used was actually sung by Wong in Cantonese.colinr0380 wrote:While the Cantonese version of the track over the end credits of Chungking Express is the iconic use of the song in cinema, it did also turn up a couple of years after that over the opening scenes of the Nora Ephron film re-teaming Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, You've Got Mail (in its English language version naturally!)

"Zombie" (my personal-favorite Cranberries song) was performed by Ruby Rose's character's band in the recently-released Pitch Perfect 3. I really liked Dolores O'Riordan's voice, it's a shocking loss.
EDIT: And I just remembered that "Dreams" is actually used as a plot-point in Sound Of My Voice, and that "Linger" is a plot-point in Click.

Re: Passages
Hers was truly one of the defining musical voices of the 90s. I am shocked and very saddened by this news.

Dreams also plays over the second to last scene of Mission Impossible where Tom Cruise unconvincingly has a post-Channel Tunnel pint with Ving Rhames (same London pub as used in Get Him To The Greek btw!)colinr0380 wrote:While the Cantonese version of the track over the end credits of Chungking Express is the iconic use of the song in cinema, it did also turn up a couple of years after that over the opening scenes of the Nora Ephron film re-teaming Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, You've Got Mail (in its English language version naturally!)
Linger also had an Alphaville-riffing video.

Re: Passages
I reckon the first Police Academy movie would still raise a giggle. Maybe. I remember seeing it when I was very young and I just remember the one bit where some statuesque blonde cop seduces another guy in the academy. It was one of the first times I remember seeing anything sexual when watching a filmButtery Jeb wrote:Hugh Wilson

Re: Passages
I kind of liked Guarding Tess too, which struck me as an amusing combination of The Bodyguard and Driving Miss Daisy! On the other hand The First Wives Club has just blurred in my mind into a contextless montage of the least interesting representations of 'empowerment' - women dancing in joy and high fiving each other in fashion departments to celebrate having gotten rid of the man in their lives (but not their money) set to the overly literal soundtrack of Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves/You Don't Own Me/etc! I seem to remember there being a heck of a lot of squealing and screaming going on! (But that did seem to set the template for a certain kind of film for a while afterwards: The Banger Sisters, The Women and so on. As well as pre-dating Sex and the City by a few years)
