fave U2 song from movie

[europop2005]

whats your favorite U2 song recorded for a movie?

(Million Dollar Hotel doesn't count)

 

[jonnytakeawalk]

How many u2 songs have been created especially for movies?! I can only think of Stay and HMKMKMTM

 

[Axver]

Slug.

 

[Screwtape2]

Slug.

FTW!

I'm not sure it counts but I really like the version of October for the film They Call It An Accident.

 

[JCOSTER]

I'm still going to say The Ground Beneath Her Feet given there isn't much to choose from.

 

[Joey788]

HMTMKMKM

 

[david]

why doesn't the million dollar hotel count?

 

[ramblin rose]

The Hands that Built America. I love that song.

 

[JCOSTER]

^ My 2nd favorite.

 

[Trinity3000]

Definately Ground Beneath Her Feet

 

[dr. zooeuss]

The Ground Beneath Her Feet and Stay are both incredible songs.

Hands that built.... not so much.

HMTMKMKM is kind of fun, but not what I'd call "Great"

I can't think of many others right now either.

 

[fandangamoq]

It wasn't really *from* the movie, but I thought Bad at the begining of Taking Lives was perfect.

 

[u2trinity]

Million Dollar Hotel should count , the songs were made for a movie !

I choose Stateless , Dark and beautiful .

 

[Catman]

HMTMKMKM - Batman Forever
Always Forever Now - Heat

 

[vRS]

HMTMKMKM and THTBA are mine, both cracking songs.

 

[Galeongirl]

Million Dollar Hotel should count , the songs were made for a movie !

I choose Stateless , Dark and beautiful .

seconding that

 

[An Cat Gav]

Ground Beneath Her Feet and Your Blue Room

 

[last unicorn]

The Million Dollar Hotel stuff is great, very underrated, I wish they'd do something like that again.
Apart from that I would say Stay, one of my all time favourite songs. And Until the End of the World, both were for Wim Wenders movies.

 

[europop2005]

I didnt wanna Million Dollar Hotel since it was Bono produced, still a great movie though

 

[JulioArca]

Goldeneye!

 

[An Cat Gav]

Goldeneye!

Agreed, it's pretty damn good.

 

[fly so high!]

All my favs have been mentioned but i got a nice suprise to hear Utravoilet in "CLICK"

 

[europop2005]

I also loved the Mission Impossible theme

 

[redhotswami]

Wow, I didn't realize U2 songs were in so many movies. Not my fav song, but the only time I was awake during Vanilla Sky was when I heard Wild Honey.

My fav would have to be Stay.

Does anybody have a list?

 

[waynetravis]

Goldeneye!

the MacPhisto version


Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill
that song is a god

 

[WildHoney]

Have to be Hands That Built America

Although i Love Stateless

Billy Boola always makes me

 

[U2girl]

Does anybody have a list?

Assuming we are talking only about songs specifically written for the movies, I think this is the list for the most well known movie U2 songs:

Captive soundtrack in 1986, written by Edge

music for Clockwork orange in 1990 (Alex descends into hell... B-side is from that)

Goldeneye for Bond movie
Hold me thrill me kiss me kill me (both 1995) for Batman

I'm not your baby, performed with Sinead O'Connor in 1997

Ground beneath her feet, Stateless 1999 (I believe originally planned for ATYCLB) for MDH

Hands that built America 2002 for Gangs of New York

UTEOTW and Stay and The Wanderer were also featured in Wim Wenders's movies, but I think these songs appeared on U2's albums before the movies were made, although Stay and UTEOTW are different mixes and Wanderer has a few extra lines.

more U2 music in the movies can be found here

Hands That Built America and HMTMKMKM are both such awesome and different songs...I pick both.

 

[powerhour24]

Stay (Faraway, So Close!) and Until The End Of The World were both used as titles for Wim Wenders movies, although it's unclear of their origins to me, seems like they traded titles.

Has the rebeliion for MDH been sucessful yet? If not...al choose ONE TREE HILL, twas in a sean penn film yrs ago. think it was called the indian runner.
