Many movies over the years have featured a selection or two, or even a whole soundtrack, from A&M Records. I'd like this thread to be a valuable source of information on just which movies featured what recordings. The ground rules are that the song must be used in the movie, and that the artist recorded the song on and for A&M Records.
Examples:
Valid:
MATCHSTICK MEN featured both "The Lonely Bull" and "Tijuana Taxi" by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
Invalid:
PELE featured music by Sergio Mendes. While true, the songs in the movie were not recorded on or for A&M Records, as Sergio had left the company.
The song or music cues can be used anywhere in the movie including over the closing credits. Entire soundtracks are certainly OK, for example:
2010 THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT's soundtrack was on A&M Records as was Jerry Goldsmith's score to THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL.
There may be instances where a portion of a known song is used but is not included in the credits. Those are OK too.
Here are a few obvious ones to get started.
CASINO ROYALE - Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - title song
NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN - Lani Hall - title song
BUTCH CASSIDY & THE SUNDANCE KID - Burt Bacharach - entire soundtrack
List away folks!
