Paul songs in movies
-
It occurred to me recently how many Paul songs have shown up in movies. He's had very up-and-down success, & of course, thats mostly tied to the success & quality of the movie, not necessarily the song. Off the top of my head: Some Big Winners: Live & Let Die (HUGE) Jerry McGuire (Singalong Junk) Spies Like Us (fun & popular classic 80s comedy) Some Big Misses: Father's Day (Young Boy, World Tonite) The Inlaws (I'm Carrying, A Love for You)

The Fireman track, "Universal Here Everlasting Now," would've been perfect for The Matrix.

Didn't he have a song in the lake house?

Great Day was used in Adam Sandler's Funny People. (I Want To) Come Home was written specifically for De Niro's Everybody's Fine

Awesome list. Thanks for putting it together. Wonder if Paul will do a movies compilation CD. That seems to be the latest thing - Van Morrison, Sting, etc.

It's unfortunate that only a couple movies with Paul songs in them have been huge hits. Young Boy was actually very well used in the opening sequence of "Father's Day," but the movie was all downhill from there. It takes some doing to get Billy Crystal and Robin Williams to be unfunny, but these crack filmmakers succeeded.
