Fellow Synchers Unite! (Please)

Group Shared Projects

Hi one and all.

I am a new member but have been a bit obsessive over this type of activity since I saw The Dark Side Of Oz for the first time. Obviously that Sync rocks serious balls and i could go on about what it all means for a long time. I'll spare you that for now but in the mean time i have a request of you guys...

Here are a few movies I love and/or think would make great synching fodder but im not sure what tunes might spirit that special little something we all know and love into them:

Shawshank Redemption
Monty Python: Life of Brian
Citizen Kane (maybe White Stripes actually as they obliquely reference the movie in White Blood Cells)
Highlander! (Beyond Queen maybe)
Stupid ones, Happy Gilmore and shit like that.
The Good the Bad and the Ugly (beyond animals though im yet to try it)
Memento
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
There are more but if anyone can think of a movie with spectacular visuals then that'd be sweet.

So any suggestions?, basically! I clearly have too much time on my hands, but what the hell. Another thought, Red Hot Chili Peppers' One Hot Minute album is an ace collection of roughly Buddhist songs so any movies come to mind that fit that mould? Crouching Tiger probably, I'll get on it I guess...

Thanks if you can be bothered to get back to me/us on this one. Peace Out brothers and sisters! and other hippy bullshit. Shit! Star Wars! Thats gotta be worth a synching. OK enough. Thanks and till next time!

I did something with Star

I did something with Star Wars a few months back, it was just small thou. It was the intro for when Darth Vader is walking down to face Luke and Luke see's Vader for the first time. The Intro riff to "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath I just looped the opening riff for Vader's large walk.

And older Black Sabbath would work godly for LOTR! Laughing out loud Except their early anti-political albums. (Paranoid, for War Pigs, Hand Of Doom etc) Iron man was off of Paranoid. lol

Amnesiac for Momento?

Citizen Kane

Hi Mr Danger!

Citizen Kane is an inovative movie for its time. I tried Millerzoid's idea of "the Wall" to this but It did not match for me. (I think it was also listed in a Pink Floyd interview as a caption under the musician's picture).

No music comes to mind, but you list some interesting movies. I tried Tangerine Dream's "Mars Polaris" to "The Good the Bad and the Ugly' but some body threw out the scrap of paper I wrote the instructions on. This has happened more than once.

Sincerely,
Karl

Star Wars At The Gates of Dawn

I recently tried "Star Wars" with "Piper at the Gates of Dawn", and it worked pretty well... for about 3 songs or so. I was a little disappointed when it started to fall apart (see my "Synchs that almost were..." Batman/Odelay! thread) I think it has something to do with the fact that I used the re-mastered version of the film (with new special effects and all) "Lucifer Sam" is Darth Vader!!
