Explosions in the Sky had some class instrumentals in the film Friday Night Lights.
Klaus Doldinger's score for Das Boot- the Germans do brooding music really well!!

A bit of a controversial one maybe , but this scene is so well done.

Like an short interlude between all the madness in their day off .

Watching it again really does feel like what was referred to in the film , that this was one day to just be free before all the college, graduation, jobs, responsibilities, mortgage etc begins.

Such a great film.

PS. Save Ferris

Always loved that scene myself, at the time I always felt that it was profound. Watching again there all I can see is the fear & pointlessness of it all in Cameron's eyes looking into that painting. I fear Cameron didn't live a fulfilling life and quite possibly killed himself.

The film Unleashed (with a soundtrack by massive attack) used Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 "Andante grazioso" as a thread through the film and plot

As an excerpt it's brilliant (the piece is the first of 3 movements)

**spoiler**

(Although if you haven't seen Ferris Bueller by now , what the feck have you been doing?!)

I think the day off was more about Cameron than Ferris in the end. He was sick of being pushed around by his father, and would stand up to him about the car. I hope he went home and punched him but I'd say he just stood up and let him know he wasn't taking no more shit. That day was the making of Cameron.

So he probably finished school , went to college and rarely came home to see his parents .

Then a few years later , he ended up with Keanu Reeves on a "bus that couldn't slow down ", as Homer Simpson called it.

Hope you don't do the sequel anyway mate

Watched An cailin ciuin last night. Such a great wee film

If you haven't seen it , do it.

If you have seen it , this tune might bring you back to that heartbreaking final scene .
