sorry for the much belated reply and thanks a lot for your contributions
Not to b*tch about things too much, but your contributions would have just been perfect if you had mentioned the artists for each song :)
Ok, I'm only showing off here but many parts of this movie were actually shot in my town, Charleroi in Belgium and for all JCVD fans out there Jean-Claude was very accomodating to the local press and media as well as the general public... It has to be said that Van Damme is somewhat of a national treasure here in Belgium and that the simple premise of the movie already has lots of moviegoers ready to embrace another facet of Van Damme's.
And you also were a bit too young for it back in early-mid 90's but if you ever get the chance nowadays to see This Life (the trials and tribulations of a five-young adults rent-sharing household in London, starring ao Jack Davenport, Daniella Nardini, Amita Dhiri and Andrew Lincoln) I'd go as far as assume that you'd enjoy it.
Well, as a long-time hardcore fan I did look up on videosharing sites, especially to track down "evidence" of the supposed lip-synching... So I did see Free Fallin' in its abridged entirety, yes... And sorry to shatter any illusions you may have about that but the Superbowl isn't even not a big deal in this here Old World, it's simply no deal at all... I understand only the newscasts in the UK mentioned it, not even the smallest blip on the radar of the other big and small countries making up the EU.
I sadly haven't been able to catch Eastern Promises in the theatres here... But yes, Naomi Watts is a good actress even though she's got gold in her hair... Oh and thank you for posting a comment to one of my lists, my listology account has been incredibly inactive these past months.
Wezz, me boy... Did you by any chance catch any episodes from "Life on Mars" and did you enjoy them ? Please let me be brief, this two-season BBC series simply was the best stuff I've seen from british TV in a very long while (probably ever since This Life in my late teens).
Still baffled by the complete absence of any Tom Petty/Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers records in your list... Do you hold a grudge against the guy ? Albums worth your consideration could be their debut from 76, Damn The Torpedoes from 1979, Full Moon fever from 1989 and Wildflowers from 1994.
And I have been to most places of Belgium, France, Luxembourg and various parts of The Netherlands, Germany, UK (England, Wales and Jersey), Spain, Andorra, Italy, Turkey, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Poland, Malaysia, The Philippines, Morocco and will soon discover Montenegro.
Well, still no Tom Petty in sight in here... But I didn't come here to complain about the lack of recognition that has plagued TP&HB for thirty years now... Rather, I'd like to hear about your opinion of british band Editors... Their latest album "An end has a start" is quite only one of two current new material from fairly young bands that I am enjoying at this time (the other being the more obvious but slightly less young White Stripes)... Thanks for your input if you have any :)
Well, Wez, I'm surprised a chap with your sense of humour and general good taste still hasn't found the opportunity to buy, own and review more classic BBC comedy such as Fawlty Towers and anything the pair of Mayall&Edmonson have done over the past 25 years (Young Ones, Bottom and so on)... And, I must say, where's your AbFab ?
I'll say it's quite a success for a first listology list... congrats on being so litterate and opinionated on such a topic... I wholeheartheadly agree that romances in movies and romantic movies are completely different ideas and your take on the subject is highly interesting, thank you and keep the great lists coming. I'll endorse you right away.
Well, on first and only attempt I got 32 right + 5 for which I had the artist but not the album's name... but again I'm kind of living 24/7 with music, could as well be married to the thing, call me a musical monk LOL
Looking at your top albums ranked and how you feel about Dylan and Springsteen, I'd say it's high time you go out and buy yourself Tom Petty's latest masterpiece "Highway Companion".

Neu! is quite underrated and simply essential... Do not hesitate to purchase Neu!zwei and Neu!78 if you have the luck of finding them in shops.
