    Songs That Should Be In Ski Flicks

    Can't tell you how many times I've heard a song and thought, "hey...this would make a killer segment in a ski flick."

    Off the top of my dome:

    Stranglehold by TN
    Space Cadet, Kyuss
    Three Days, Janes
    Baracuda, Heart
    For Those about to Rock, AC/DC
    "All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring."

    Rammstein - Engel

    edit: it would have to be in a big mountain scene... That whistling in the beginning is just plain awesome

    Exhausted by Joseph Arthur. I see it as a big-mountain heli segment.

    Sick and ashamed and happy (and when I get a heli and a big mountain and make a movie, this song will be in it),

    Thumbs up

    Always thought A mix of Brubeck's Rondo a la Turk and then some new school guitar that complemented it would be cool kind of a fade from some B&W shots skiing pow to some more aggresive, lines shot in color would be a cool intro.

    Also would like to see, Robert Rodriguez do a segment or a whole ski film's music. Check out the extras on Kill Bill disc 2, good stuff, it's a remake of the older flamenco(not sure if that's correct) music that was used in the Eastwood spagetti westerns.

    Radiohead, Exit Music, from Kid A. Probly have to be shortened, but would be a cool intro to a segment, getting geared up, getting to the destination, some slow pow shots.

    Reverand Horton Heat, Baddest of the Bad, this has a Morrison segment written all over it, good shit. Sue Jack Daniels. nuff said.

    Tool, can't remember the name of the saong, the one with "if I'm the fucking man then your the man as well"

    Maybe some Stones as well, Paint it Black, or????
    Skiing, where my mind is even if my body isn't.

    Distillers- LA Girl
    Ministry- Jesus Built my Hot Rod
    System of a Down- Shimmy
    Clutch- Immortal
    Teen Idols- Twenty Below
    Agnostic Front- Liberty
    Propellerheads- Better?
    Mirwais- Disco Science
    The Who- Barb O'Reilly/ Won't be Fooled Again

    The One Minute Silence stuff I've heard in variuos flicks is cool.
    Whenever I hear ELO's Fire on High, I start to picture big mountain scenes too.

    Exit Music is an OK Computer track...but I like the idea.

    I have always thought that No Surprises from OK Computer would make an awesome slow motion powder sequence. (that or slow motion serial killer stabbing someone sequence)
    I went out there in search of experience. To taste, and to touch, and to feel as much as a man can, before he repents.

    I can picture and hear this:

    Eerie and quiet, shot in black and white, with a grainy look, and in low contrast. Skier's head disappears and reappears beneath a washing white current (it's a deep day, maybe 4' of fresh).

    Fade in: the pulsing shimmer of Just Want to See His Face, by the Stones.
