The use of recognizable songs in movies is a double-edged sword, capable of either greatly adding to a scene, or just annoying the living hell out of the pop-weary audience. On the one hand, you’ve got Jesse’s Girl in Boogie Nights, on the other, that accursed “Are You Ready For This” song that plays over every single live-action Disney trailer. Why do I bring this up? Of the last 10 films I’ve seen, an incredible four have used Jeff Buckley’s cover of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. (The most recent offender, which shall remain nameless until released next month, also imaginatively uses Clapton’s Cocaine … over a scene of someone using cocaine. I mean, Jesus.) Yes, it’s a great song, and Buckley has a voice like an angelic Ghost Rider, but good god, enuff z’nuff. Somebody needs to send Hollywood a copy of K-Tel’s Freedom Rock, stat.
