Ha I do think of that one, too.

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Back in 2000, I think you were practically brainwashed into linking Metallica with Mission: Impossible II.

It's a decent song but I seem to remember that summer its all I heard. πŸ˜„

[–] goldenbug@kbin.social 5 points 4 months ago

This is the song that got me into rock and eventually metal

[–] misk@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I remember that summer, stuck in the countryside, satellite TV being the only entertainment other than fucking around on my bike. I disappear and Take a look around are similarily linked in my mind.

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 7 points 4 months ago

I was always annoyed a little bit because I was a bigger Limp Bizkit fan and at least their song used the M:I theme music!

[–] Fermion@mander.xyz 6 points 4 months ago

All Star by Smash Mouth will forever conjure images of Shrek.

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 6 points 4 months ago

Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls to City of Angels, but looks like it was written for the movie so not sure if it counts..

[–] CentauriBeau@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Cry Little Sister - The Lost Boys

[–] meathorse@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Short Circuit 2 - Holding on for a hero.

Much more impactful than how it was used in Shrek 2.

Real stakes, life and death. Spoiler warning - clip spoils the climax of the movie...

[–] gotrandom@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Omg yes! I didn’t even think of this one until you mentioned it. I was so in love with those movies as a kid.

Hero wasn't by them, it was only by Chad.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I stand corrected. πŸ†

[–] BoisZoi@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

No worries, it's a common misconception. It doesn't help that Nickelback was founded in 1995 and the song came out in 2002 iirc.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago

Not really a song, but Carmina Burana and Boorman's Exalibur (also bits of the GΓΆtterdΓ€mmerung I guess).

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 2 points 4 months ago
