I heard that: Solsbury Hill
"Solsbury Hill," Peter Gabriel
The song's use in trailers and commercials for heartwarming films about family was mocked in the excellent alternate trailer for "Shining". But what films has this song actually been used in?
According to iMdb:
• "In Good Company" (2004): Topher Grace shows up Dennis Quaid in the business world AND dates his daughter Scarlett Johnassen.
• "Vanilla Sky" (2001): I saw this movie and the Spanish original, and I still can't really tell you what it's about. Tom Cruise is a crazy man. And possibly dead?
• "Party of Five" (1996): I never watched this show.
• "L'Argent fait le bonheur" (1993): Some French comedy.
• "Say Anything" (1989): Just kidding! The PG song used in this John Cusack masterpiece is "In Your Eyes."
So only four soundtrack uses, and one of those is a French film and another is a TV show. I would have expected more. I suspect it's been used in more marketing campaigns, but iMdb doesn't track that. And I don't have the resources to actually research that myself. But off the top of your head, neighbor, do you know any?
— eh.
