The From Paris With Love Soundtrack

There are 21 songs in the movie From Paris with Love. The soundtrack album for the movie is going to be released as an import on February 23rd, but there is no indication of what songs are going to be on the album until then. In the meantime, here’s the complete list of all 21 songs in From Paris with Love with links to downloads for most of them.
The majority of songs are listed just as the writers of the songs, not the performers. Where possible, I have found a link to an artist who has performed the song. For instance, the Michael Buble version of Me and Mrs. Jones. The soundtrack is mostly jazz, classical music and French standards.
Original music in From Paris with Love – David Buckley

The Dear John Soundtrack

There are 15 songs in the movie Dear John, but not all of the songs are on the soundtrack album. You can find all 15 of them here.
If the soundtrack to a movie alone were reason enough for me to see that movie (and it often is for me), then I might just have to go out and see Dear John. Snow Patrol’s Set the Fire to the Third Bar plays at the end of the trailer. And I love the song Paperweightby Josh Radin and Schuyler Fisk. They are both brilliant individually, and are even more so together. Schulyer Fisk’s song Hello is still one of my favorites from the last couple years. Together, they are even better.
Here’s the complete list of songs from Dear John, including tunes from 311, Ryan Adams, Ozomatli and The Swell Season. The soundtrack album to the movie has a good number of the songs on it, but you can find all of them here.
Original music for Dear John – Deborah Lurie

The When in Rome Soundtrack

There are 21 songs in When in Rome but only half of the songs are on the soundtrack for When in Rome. Not to worry, all 21 songs from the movie are here.
I have to say, I didn’t expect much from the movie. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a rotten 19 and Yahoo! Movies scored it a D. But I actually liked the movie. I saw Dax Shepard in the commercials for When in Rome, but didn’t know that Will Arnett, Danny Devito and even Jon Heder were in the movie. Plus there’s a special guest that I would vote for at any high school election.
The music is also good from the get go. Jason Mraz kicks it off with Kickin with You. Katy Perry also takes a double turn, singing Starstrukk with 3OH!3  at the museum at the beginning of the movie and If You Can Afford Me when Nick’s photographer friend is taking pictures of Beth being chased by the other guys (mural, levitation, flowers, etc.).
I’m not always a huge Matchbox Twenty fan, but the song is perfect for the car ride scene on the way to the museum.
I have a feeling people will also be looking for is the scene before the car ride, when she leaves Nick. The song is Make You Feel My Love by Adele Adkins.
Paulo Nutini can also do no wrong in my book. Pencil Full of Lead is a good song. As isHold onto Your Heart by Tina Parol, the song playing when Beth is running through the park.
The soundtrack for When in Rome also includes a host of classical Italian songs plus a similarly styled score from Christopher Young.

Extra song on the album but not in the movie – Fox on the Run – The Academy Is [linked version performed by Sweet]

The Tooth Fairy Soundtrack

They did not release an album for the Tooth Fairy soundtrack, except for the score by George S. Clinton, but you can find all 11 songs from the movie here.
The soundtrack is a mishmash, from Cream and 2 Unlimited to The Blue Danube. It’s a soundtrack in desperate need of a bridge – I cannot see how all the songs go together. To be honest, I haven’t seen the movie yet, so maybe I’m just missing a bit of context.
Here are all 11 songs from the Tooth Fairy soundtrack. Brace yourselves; it’s a bumpy ride:

The Legion Soundtrack

There are 11 songs in the movie Legion but the soundtrack album for Legion only has the score on it. You can find all 11 songs here, as well as notes on the scenes they were in. John Frizzell, who also crafted the music for Henry Poole is Here, White Out and Thirteen Ghosts, provided the score for the movie.
The music mostly plays on the diner jukebox during the movie, so it’s a mix of Willie Nelson, Ann-Margaret, Merle Haggard and the like. However, there are a couple other musical scenes as well. King Juju plays when Tyrese is driving toward the diner at the beginning of the movie. And The Showdown razes the scene when the possessed are swarming the minivan that stops to get some gas.
I actually had a bit of a hard time placing the scenes that many of the other songs were in. Definitely could use some help here.
As for the movie itself, at first I was worried that I might have a hard time believing Paul Bettany as a badass angel gone bad by going good, but he was spot on. In fact, I wish I had a copy of the scene in the middle of the movie where he was talking to Jeep about faith and hope. It was the most poignant part of the movie, and was a highlight of the post-apocalyptic movie-fest we are experiencing these days.
Here’s the complete list of songs from Legion in the order they appeared in the movie with notes on many of the scenes.

The Crazy Heart Soundtrack

Here are all 26 songs from the Crazy Heart soundtrack with notes on each scene they were in and in the order they appeared in the movie. Let me just say that this is abrilliant soundtrack. T. Bone Burnett has never steered us wrong, and he certainly doesn’t here.
Don’t be fooled by the description of the movie as the story of a country singer. It doesn’t matter whether or not you like country music – you will love this music and this movie. It’s good ole school bluesy country that speaks truth and heartache all in the same.
The movie kicks off in a bowling alley. I could not help but think the dude abides. And he does. Jeff Bridges was awesome. Who knew the man could channel Waylon Jennings? And not just the hat and glasses – he sounds damn good too. As does Ryan Bingham, who backs Bridges up in the bowling alley and sings the definitive version of The Weary Kind, the theme song from Crazy Heart, that won the Golden Globe for best original song.
I don’t know how many people are going to end up seeing Crazy Heart. Certainly not as many as should. This was a great film with one of the best soundtracks of 2009. This is kicking the year off right. Fallin’ & Flyin’, Hold on You, Brand New Angel and The Weary Kind are the right kind of music for me. Enjoy.
The Crazy Heart soundtrack album has a good number of the songs from the movie, but you can find them all below. I was able to identify 29 out of the 30 scenes with songs in them (some of the songs are used a couple times). If you know the unknown scene below, please let me know in the comments.

The Spy Next Door Soundtrack

The soundtrack album to The Spy Next Door only has the score from the movie on it, but you can find of five songs from the The Spy Next Door. Fittingly, the music starts with the song Secret Agent Man by Johnny Rivers.
The soundtrack also includes a tune from Jackie Chan, who is something of a pop star in China, as well as Blondie’s One Way or Another.
Here’s the complete list of songs from The Spy Next Door with links to download the songs. I skipped the movie this weekend in favor of The Book of Eli, but if you saw it, I hope you enjoyed it.
