Five of my favorite movie soundtracks
(Community ~ 01/05/14)
1. "The Hangover." To be honest, I have a hard time making a movie list that doesn't include the original in this trilogy. It covers a lot of bases. But I do think they did a great job setting the tone using music in this movie, from Danzig's "Thirteen" in the opening credits and "Yeah" by Usher in the time-lapse scene, to The Cramps' rendition of "Fever" for that "Am I missing a tooth?" moment and "Iko Iko" by The Belle Stars as an homage to another great Vegas movie, "Rain Man.". ...
