Makes you wonder what other, better Knopfler songs could be put to use in famous films in a serious way... :think

I love it! It's really fun and interesting to see how it actually fits in both sad and happy endings.

there's a little mention in the french magazine "STUDIO Ciné live" (a magazine about movie) this month

traduction :

Dire Straits' "Walk of like" would be the best appropriate song to end a movie. Therefore, the YT channel WOL project put it on several famous ending. Bingo !
