A small aside please!! In the movie " The Bourne Identity " there is a car chase scene through the streets of Paris as Matt Damon eludes the police driving a Mini Cooper. I have been trying to find out about the music played during the chase. Do any of you movie watchers know the name of the music and the artists? The same music is played during the wild disco gunfight scene of " Collateral ". Thank You!
There are many, many more of course, like "Being There", the Godfather trilogy, The Man Who Wasn't There, Kafka, Fargo, A Clockwork Orange, Brazil, E.T., High and Low, etc, etc. There are just too many, fortunately
In no particular order (and there are more than 5 here): The Matrix (just the first), Swordfish, Saving Private Ryan, The Firm, A Time to Kill, Amelie, Taking Lives, Spiderman (both), X-Men (all 3).
Pretty much all of my favourite films have been listed here already. So I won't bother posting them again. I just wanted to make special mention to Infernal Affairs I & II. Picked them up in the video store about 6 months back and in short I really enjoyed them. IMO well worth watching.

It is "Ready Steady Go" by Paul Oakenfold
The version from Collateral is the Korean mix. It is on the Collateral soundtrack which has some other good music as well. You can preview the songs on Amazon.
