Nice. Of course these days, pretty much everything seems to make it onto a soundtrack at some point. The key is for a director to do it in a way that you'll permanently associate the song with the movie. I, for one, have a hard time listening to the Shins' wonderful "New Slang" without thinking of Garden State. And Scorcese's Goodfellas made pretty unforgettable use out of the Stones' "Monkey Man," Nilsson's "Jump Into The Fire," Derek & the Dominos' "Layla," and George Harrison's "What Is Life."
I agree with the last commenter. It takes a special combination of elements to create an indelible memory of song-to-movie. Of this mix, I would agree with a lot of them: "Playground Love", "Elephant Love Medley" (obviously)", "Stay", "Across the Universe", "Bittersweet Symphony", "Alright", and that "Love is All Around" cover. Some of the others don't ring a bell ("Northern Sky" was in "Serendipity"? I can't believe I don't remember that), but whatever; I like the idea of this mix and you executed it wonderfully. I'm gonna have to steal the concept now, of course. Forgive me :)
