Request Line: Exit Music (For a Season)

There’s a British horror film called “My Little Eye” that I saw a bit of a ways back. It’s not a particularly memorable film except that it used a lot of night vision effects and was one of Bradley Cooper’s first film roles. The premise is that five people inhabit a house, Big Brother style, with the prospect of collection a share of prize money if they serve out their term despite various offputting hijinks unleashed on them by the show’s creators. As the contestants eventually learn, to their horror, the “reality show” is actually just a setup for a snuff film, with gamblers placing bets on the order in which the contestants will die. At the end, the last virgin standing escapes the house and falls into the arms of a police officer, only for him to handcuff her and later shoot her in the back as she tries to run off into the woods.  The film ends with a shot of a TV monitor showing her lying on the floor of a locked room, bleeding and moaning and whimpering in fear, before the camera is switched off and the final credits roll.  That’s kind of how the end of this football season felt to me.  Here’s the song that plays.

This week’s theme: exit music for a film.  Throw down some of your favorite songs that were used to close out films.  They don’t have to be anywhere near as dark as this one; I just figured I’d strike while the iron was hot.

Did last night’s game kill Hippo?

Curse of Marino

No Patriot Schadenfraude day? Fuck thats the worst part about this

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

The Patriots have made it to at least the AFC Championship Game 11 times in 16 seasons under Belichick. Holy balls.

The only streak that compares is the 1981-94 49ers, who had 5 SB in 14 seasons.

Ugh.

Very drunk. Any Smiths fans? Morrissey is a fuckhead but young Jonny Marr is fantastic.

If we’re talking Lost In Translation, I prefer the song that ran over the credits. I never get tired of these chord changes.

Sticking with Life Aquatic music. One of the few Bowie covers I love

All the musical fun of a funeral dirge, and the lyrical component of surviving a nuclear war. Yeah, an apt ode to this NFL season. And seemingly life in the USA in general right now.

More of an actual last scene in the movie than credits, if you haven’t seen Life Aquatic and plan to watch it at some point skip this one

This is the Townes Van Zandt cover of “Dead Flowers” that played over the end of Lebowski.

I fucking love Townes and Lebowski, so it’s a pretty natural pick for me.

Stay on point man!

We’re only a handful of comments in.

You can do it!

It was the climax of 3 seasons of plot, they just showed everything being ruined after if I remember how they framed it correctly

laserguru

It’s cool.
Here, have a twinkie. I’ve got two of them. I’ll share.

I might have cheated before and used TV shows, but fuck you, they are normally better than movies now. See the ads for movies from earlier

Godfather III may have been lousy, but the music at the end is beautiful. (Not credits music, but it is the end of the movie.)
