Mad World (Donnie Darko) and The Unanswered Question (Lola rennt) {nm} second gary May 31, 15:40

both top notch! {nm} lobogotti May 31, 15:42

Ella Fitzgerald's cover of "Get Thee Behind Me Satan" and Jo Stafford's cover of "No Other Love" are also on my longlist. {nm} second gary May 31, 15:52

Both in "The Master," of course. {nm} second gary May 31, 15:53
