I was delighted to find this film about folk song collecting in the Appalachian mountains. Songcatcher (2000) examines the life of a fictional song collector (loosely based on the life of Olive Dame Campbell, an American contemporary of Cecil Sharp), and her academic and romantic motivations. While it may not have come to a cinema near you, and is possibly more melodramatic than real-life folk song collecting, it is packed with outstanding performances of traditional songs in the Appalachian tradition.

Just saw the new Steven Spielberg movie, Ready Player One, the other day. Excellent movie, full of pop culture references and 80's nostalgia, at least in the soundtrack department. Van Halen's "Jump" and New Order's "Blue Monday" are featured prominently, and are both, in my regard, quintessential 80's tracks.
But to my surprise, early in the movie, a somewhat unknown B-side from Bruce Springsteen is played; "Stand On It"! And it got me thinking... Which other songs by Bruce have been featured in movies, especially lesser-known songs of his?
I remember seeing a film in which Lucky Town suddenly came on. Can't remember the title of the film or what actors (could it have been Robert Downey Jr.?). Think the film was set in Las Vegas (at least partially). Anyone else see this?
Stand On IT has appeared in multiplele films starting with Ruthless People. It is in at least one other that I can't recall. Springsteen seldom lets his music be used in movies though he hangs out on Speilbergs boat so that must help. Look at all the movies named after Springsteen songs that have no Bruce music in them at all
Tougher than the Rest in the Wild (Reese Witherspoon) And she was hiking several hundred miles along the Pacific Coast trail with a rucksack full of camping gear so quite apt. I think she even says something like don't let me down Bruce and then the song starts.
In the TV show Bull, Dr Bull (Michael Waverly) is talking to a former girlfriend. He then says something on the lines of "It's like a Bruce Springsteen song" and the girl replies "You've had your Born to Run Speech, now it's my turn" In the same episode, at the start, we see a montage of a young Bull (who, I assume, is Michael Waverly as a kid and he has a pushbike with Thunder Road written on it)
There are plenty of TV shows, especially 1980s sitcoms that mention Bruce. Charles in Charge, Growing Pains, Family Ties, Diff'rent Strokes, ALF, Golden Girls, etc. Hell, even in the last season of Starskey & Hutch, both Starskey & Hutch are looking after a teen girl who wants to see Bruce Springsteen
No one's mentioned Mask, but it's my favorite use of Springsteen music in a movie. Rocky Dennis was a true Springsteen fan and there's an interesting story, for those who haven't heard it, about the filmmakers not being able to meet the financial requirements to use Bruce's music in the film so, in the original release, Bob Seger's songs are used where Bruce's were intended. Later releases of the film feature Springsteen's music instead of Seger's.
We did Grease in 2016 - so I was able to grab my file to see what we did to use these songs - here's some info:
Samuel French only holds the stage rights to GREASE - so to license the additional songs, you need to contact Warner/Chapell - and that contact information was in the licensing contract. Warner/Chapell, however, does not send you the sheet music. Samuel French can send copies of You're The One That I Want, and Hopelessly Devoted - for us it was an extra $200.
I received a questionnaire prior to our licensing application being fully accepted -and I had to submit a seating chart of our space (because they charge by the seat, not average sales history). One of the questions was: Will you be requesting permission to perform the movie songs - They are "Grease", "Sandy", "Hopelessly Devoted to You", and "You're the One That I Want"
One of the other documents in th efolder isa "Theatrical License Request Form" for the movie songs - and it says to allow 3-4 weeks for clearance of requests.
Hope this helps a bit! I will say that Grease was the most expensive show we ever produced for licensing costs and rental materials, etc (not production costs like costumes, lumber). Contract costs were over $9000 - we did 5 performances, and we have an 1100 seat house, tickets were $6-9. But we had to rent additional chorus books for $10 per person. Buy the script books for dialogue from SF. License additional songs through Warner/Chapell. It felt like a lot of nickel-and-diming because there are so many factors to take into consideration.
For years, I said that we'd never to do Grease - and that if we ever did, it would be because we either needed more community support for our program, or more money. At the time, we needed both. When everyone asks WHY? - I bring up the themes of the storyline - smoking, drinking, Rizzo's situation, Sandy changing to please a guy... it has toe-tapping music, but the messages are mixed at best. We did cover our costs - but we didn't sell out the place.
But if your audience members are like mine - they will want what they see on stage to closely resemble the movie - so we felt we needed to add those songs.

Originally the film producers wanted a period appropriate song with lutes and lyres. When they heard the finished product they panicked and hid it away at the halfway point of the closing credits, not realising what a worldwide smash they had on their hands.
By the mid-90s the name Bryan Adams had started to become synonymous with power ballads and blockbuster action adventures. However, his next collaboration with Michael Kamen was a fairly leftfield choice.
Adams would work just once more with Michael Kamen on a track called When You Love Someone (co-written with folk singer Gretchen Peters), which featured in the 1998 Sandra Bullock vehicle Hope Floats. The song was used as one of his new tracks for his critically acclaimed MTV Unplugged album.
Neither song won that night. It was You Must Love Me, a new track from the film version of Evita that went home victorious. Personally, my hopes were pinned on The Wonders with That Thing You Do!
Here I Am was recorded twice: an orchestral version for a specific scene in the film and another more pop oriented take for the end credits. This version also became a successful single and is easily my favorite song on this entire list.
Adams wrote (again with Gretchen Peters and Eliot Kennedy who contributed to one of the songs in Spirit) and performed five songs for the film. The soundtrack CD has since been deleted and has become something of a holy grail for Bryan Adams fans.
Has anyone done Grease recently and added the movie songs? Here is my problem: I have secured the rights to perform all the movie songs: Hopelessly Devoted to You; Sandy; You're the One That I Want; and Grease (the title song from the movie.) Now Samuel French has the music and orchestrations for only 2 of the songs: Hopelessly Devoted, and You're the One... Now when I went through Warner/Chappel to secure the performance rights, they sent me to a music company that has the sheet music, but it's the typical vocal sheet music you can get at any music store with piano and the guitar chords. I'm wondering if anyone has orchestrations for the two songs (Sandy and Grease) that they are willing to share. Or do you know where I can find them. I am searching but I thought this is definitely one of the first places I should put out feelers.
