I don't know if there is a similar thread with this topic, but I start one, because I just stumbled across a movie called "What just happened". Near the end I heard a drum pattern very similar, if not identical to Skateaway start. But it continues very diffrently. But after a couple of minutes there is a huge portion of Brothers in arms song

Come on, it is not funny anymore.

I can think of the following :-

An officer And A gentleman - Tunnel Of Love
Desperados - Six Blade Knife
Metroland  - Sultans Of Swing
Hot Fuzz - Romeo & Juliet
Twister - Darling Pretty


My brain is not working so well to remember any more at the moment but I'm sure our fellow fans will enlighten us :)

Well, I was keeping it for a surprise, but just to prove that even imdb which is fine, is incomplete.
Riding high is not listed, and it has the hard to find Solid rock studio version that is so much better than the one on MM. It has been bootleged a lot (usually together with the early tapes at full length).
So no you haven't spoilt the fun, you have made it much harder to break.
Also missing is the VHS contribution on Weird Al Yankovich movie. It was called Beverly Hillbillies.
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

I watched a film called Destroyer last night.

Decent film, with a really good performance by Nicole Kidman.

It not only features a DS song (not one of the usual suspects), but DS are mentioned in the narrative.

Nicole’s husband is a huge DS fan so maybe he had some input :)
