Enzville, SWHHW also appears on the "Felicity" soundtrack.

As far as CH songs, "Locked Out" appears on the "Reality Bites" soundtrack, and "Recurring Dream" is featured briefly in the movie "Tequila Sunrise" (I don't know if there was a soundtrack for that movie though).

And of course, there's the "Rain" soundtrack, which is almost all Neil.

That's all I can think of for now. I'm sure others will be able to add to this. Smiler

CH's cover of She's Not There was on the soundtrack of 'The Crossing.' It says 1990 on the Other Enz liner notes.

Enzville, you might like this well-researched fan site:

I thought the bit about Moulin Rouge was rather interesting.

Kare Kare was played at the end of the movie Two Hands, which featured Heath Ledger.

Is the "I am Sam" soundtrack that Neil is on some overseas edition or something? I was looking at a track listing and I didn't seen Neil on there ANYWHERE (and I am in the US), so what's with that?

In the actual "I Am Sam" movie, someone else actually sings "Two Of Us" (can't remember who exactly) and I imagine it would be the same for the soundtrack of the US Soundtrack as well.

There's an Aimee Mann/Michael Penn version on the 'regular' (US) version of the CD, but when it was released in other territories, the Neil & Liam Finn version was included, along with up to a couple of other tracks that varied depending on where you were buying it (I think - I'm going by memory here)

I picked up my version in Japan, but I think it was the European import version. Either way, I think there's at least 3 or four different version out there and only the US version didn't include Neil & Liam's track.

You have to get an imported version in order to get the track with Liam and Neil. I got my copy at Border's in Whitehall, PA (middle of nowhere Pennsylvania), so you should have a pretty good shot of finding it locally.

Yes, Tequila Sunrise is available as a soundtrack.

The Finn's Luckiest Man Alive was also played on the cancelled Rob Lowe TV show this summer as well as Neil's forays on Everwood with Last to Know. I know the later two are not soundtracks but I thought they were worth mentioning.

There was a Stephen King movie (Can't remember which one)which featured Dont Dream it's over and it(DDIO)was also played on Cold Case a couple of months back. I went to see Antz just for Neils song so was a bit bummed it was on over the closing credits, BUT I went to The taping of Good News Week in Sydney and saw Neil perform both I can See Clearly now and Last One Standing live. Oh and the p.a. also played I Got You whenever NZ scored at the world cup in 2002.

His version of 'I can See Clearly Now' is definately played during the film too? Albeit briefly - they're crossing a pond on a big leaf..

Yep I Can See Clearly Now is definitely played during Antz, it happened to be on not too long ago and my Finn radar drew me into the room just as Neil started singing...no idea what was happening in the movie at the time though. Big Grin

Did anybody see "Seachange", the old ABC series?

When Sigrid and William McInnes got erm... 'together' in the ocean at night, I'm sure "Private Universe" was playing... And if it wasn't, it should have, because it would fit that scene so perfectly...

Something about Private Universe and dark, moody and dreamlike ocean scenes just goes so well together.

Neil's best song ever, by the way... did I mention that? Smiler


I'm on a party line wondering all the time, who's on the other end?
Is she big?
Is she small?
Is she a she at all?
Who's on my party line?

I know that I heard "Six Month in a leaky boat" on Gilmore Girls in the back ground in a college bar. Then on Scrubs I caught the Finn Brothers "Won't give up" actually I think I've caught Neil's stuff on there few times. Also, I think the remake of Stephen King's "The Shining" with Stephen Webber and Rebecca De Mornay has one or more of Tim's stuff but I can't remember what song/songs they were.


Experience is cheap, I should have listened to the warning
