Comment:

This is, as the title suggests, a collection of songs used in various films. Not soundtrack music, or songs written/performed specifically for use in the movie, but rather pre-existing songs used by the director to great effect in a movie. Now, any Hollywood peon can cobble together some songs, with an eye towards cross-marketing a soundtrack album. But it takes a real artist to utilize the music in such a way that nobody who sees the movie will ever hear the song again without remembering the movie or, even better, the particular scene in which it was used.
This is a collection of those songs. Every one of these tracks was, in my opinion, used so distinctively that I can't hear the song these days without immediately viewing the scene again in my head. Some directors -- Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorcese in particular, but Wes Anderson and others as well over the past few decades, have shown a real knack for taking some random song from the past and making it seem like it was written and performed wholly for the scene in which it was played.
This turned into much more of an ordeal to make than I'd assumed. Had to make some tough cuts; I certainly couldn't do without "The End," a song I will forever associate with Coppola's timeless Apocalypse Now, but at nearly 12 minutes it was forcing me to cut a handful of tracks, so I ended up fading it early and losing the last 4 minutes. Still ended up cutting Petty's "American Girl" (from Fast Times at Ridgemont High) and Colin Newman's "Alone" (from Silence of the Lambs. Otherwise, mangaged to fit most of what I'd hoped to include, though I had to cherry pick a few tracks off Pulp Fiction and ended up not using anything from Dazed & Confused.
Incidentally, should you wish to download this -- there is an error in the back cover art included with the download; let me know if you'd like it and I can email you the corrected version.
