My, pic's from the music video of High..... My TV's messed up, so it sort of blurred where Smith was. Standing on the left is Porl, in the middle is Simon, next to the right is Boris, and at the far right is perry.

Thanx Lordsquidy- I see it now, yeh love it.  :D


- I had noticed 'Cold Case'  played alot of The Cure's songs -  although i hardly ever watched it.

I like 'The wedding singer' that was cute, but not so memorable,. .for me.

But i was thinking of '50 first dates' Adam Sandler & Drew (Loved that film) and YES it had a reggae music beat to all the music, and '311' doing (not a good cover) of 'Lovesong',

and Dryden Mitchells cover of 'Friday I'm in Love'  Which was great- I think 'Friday i'm in Love' was at the end with reggae, not sure- But it did sound good reggae style :smth023

not only in movies it also appear in drama which is one tree hill in season 4 episode 5 and first season episode 19...the song they played prayers for rain and apart.....

and they also discussed about the cure...between the mom and her daughter....in season 3....they discussed the which is the best between disintergration album and wish album....her mom preferred wish album and her daughter preferred disintergartion album....

For what it matters, I am watching TV and there was a preview for the Season Premiere of Without A Trace, and the song for the preview was Pictures of You.  It wasn't the Cure performing, but I have heard some really BAD covers, and this one wasn't too bad...kind of curious to see who did it. :smth023 to the not so bad cover. 
Title: Re: The Cure music in movies

Yeh i hear alot of covers too, in commercials, Not many memorable, though, but i did like the reggae covers in '50 first dates' well one of them.    :smth020
Prefer the real thing though., But cant blame The Cure for the inspiration they give  :smth049

Post by: Cure Freak on September 28, 2007, 19:21:39
Speaking of commercials. There is one,in the US, with Love Song. Can't recall,what product. But it has two teenagers, in a mall, dancing  and singing to Friday, I'm In Love, while it is played on a portable cassette or cd player. Can't recall which.
Title: Re: The Cure music in movies
Post by: lordsquidy13 on September 28, 2007, 21:15:06
I see the Without a Trace one all the time. I, as well, prefer the real stuff.

Friday I'm in Love was on a commercial for a local radio station...

I'll never forget the HP Printer commercials of Pictures of You....

I hear them on Vh1 programs a lot. On I love the 80s part Duex, I remember hearing Why Can't I Be You for some type of doll in 1980.

In 1981, I think Close To Me was on it.

And 1982 had Just Like Heaven and Boys Don't Cry.

Six Different Ways is featured quite well in "Rules of Attraction".

Brett Easton Ellis book made into another highly entertaining movie.
Rent it and see for yourself.

UGH...why is it that when they want to use "The Cure" music in a movie, they use "JUST LIKE HEAVEN", "IN BETWEEN DAYS", "LOVESONG", or "MINT CAR"?

For god's sake, there's enough amazing and powerful Cure songs to fit every mood in a film! In fact, I'm going to make it my goal to one day make a film and score it using ONLY Cure songs!!! That's what I'll do!!! 8) :smth023
Title: Re: The Cure music in movies

You know I have thought about doing something like that.  Making a movie and using only Cure music.  Rock on!  That is a fantastic idea.

david, you know i'm 100% certain we had a thread for this some time earlier and i've been trying myself crazy trying to find it - i'm sure i didn't dream it up... anybody else remember this? because i even remember we actually managed to come up with some extra movies which aren't actually missing from that list on imdb, if i do recall correct...
(aaahhh where is it... it must have been listed on some weirdo name or something or everything was posted on some other thread as off-topic conversation or something... where is itssssssss, they stole it from us, nasty little...)

And of course, which has been mentioned earlier.. 50 1st Dates.. ( just on T.V. tonite ) :lol: I loved the cover of Lovesong, the reggae beats, but Friday I'm in love is a downer..  I still prefer the Cure.. I'm a hopeless curefan.. :( I just get a bit disappointed when it is not the Cure, but I did actually enjoy the Lovesong version.. whoever covered it!? :smth020

I saw Marie Antoinette without being aware of the soundtrack, so for me and my wife it was what made the movie bearable.  How many hours of frolicking in the country side and having inane conversations can you bear?

Do my movies count? Whenever I make a film I load it up with Cure references...it can get pretty annoying to the viewer.

Anyway, why would they choose "Plainsong" of any Cure song to use in Marie Antoinette? They could have picked a better song in my opinion.

The tingling and the crash of the opening fit the scenes at the time, but they cut it off too soon.

I mentioned this movie on the first page of this topic.
It's "The Rules of Attraction", based on the Brett Easton Ellis novel.
James Van Der Beek (the guy from Dawson's Creek) plays Sean Bateman. The character Sean Bateman is the little brother of Patrick Bateman ... the killer from the movie "American Psycho".

If you took the time to read any contemporary fiction, you might know who Brett Easton Ellis is.
And you might appreciate the movies made from his novels ... ... ...

and they also discussed about the cure...between the mom and her daughter....in season 3....they discussed the which is the best between disintergration album and wish album....her mom preferred wish album and her daughter preferred disintergartion album....
The recent season 5 finale "What Comes After The Blues" prominently featured The Cure, though there was no music and no direct mention of the band or it's songs. Say what?

Peyton (the daughter mentioned above) has been carrying her love for Lucas for a long time, but he's still been hung up on his (ex)fiancee Lindsay. In one of the scenes, Peyton is in her office talking with Haley and she was looking at her LP of Disintegration. So then later Peyton painted the entire Rivercourt (the outdoor basketball court) with the lyrics to "Love Song" and signed her name at the end.

I really liked the use of Plainsong in Marie Antoinette, it seemed to fit the scene perfectly. Alhtough they did cut it short somewhat, it does tend to fade rather to soon! I also watched it in-flight on the way to a family funeral, and by the time the end credits came and they used All Cats Are Grey, I was in tears! It suited my mood at the time!

I have often wondered why no-one has made a film using Cure music exclusively. There is more than enough material to use. Well perhaps I need to get writing!!! Hmm, what would it be about then??? LOL!

Cure was on One Tree Hill again last week. Peyton has moved in with Lucas and she was talking about not being able to put her stuff away, including her albums. She pulled out Distintegration and said somehting about maybe they had duplicates, but then Lucas said he didn't like The Cure.  :smth011 Then later they have divided the house in two and she's playing Fascination Street on her turntable until he cuts the power and then she plays it on his phone.

i would really recommend this to any cure fans who haven't seen it. the cure actually are kind of a theme through the film (because one of the 'girls' fave bands is the cure during the 80s portion of the film). there's a great scene at the end where they see a poster advertising 'the 13th' single, and one of them says something like 'hey - i didn't know the cure were still together!'  :D

I also think that Fascination Street was in Lost Boys and here in Sweden Mint Car and Friday I´m in Love is in a tv-serie called Andra Avenyn which is Swedish for The Second Avenue

Then there is Dredd Song in Judge Dredd and More than This in The X-Files.

Yet another Cure sighting on "One Tree Hill." Last week's episode "A Kiss to Build a Dream On" (season 6, episode 21) featured a flashback for Lucas and Peyton and a Cure concert. In the current time, Lucas is fixing Peyton's car (the Comet) and finds a Cure ticket under the seat, June 15 Gwinnett Center and flashes back to high school graduation and Lucas buying tickets to the show as a gift for Peyton even though he doesn't like The Cure. In further flashbacks they go on a road trip to the show, but end up losing one of the tickets so don't actually see the concert. Then at the end of the show, "Pictures of You" is playing and Lucas shows Peyton the ticket (back in present time). Other than the little hiccup of the ticket being for a concert in 2008 (the flashback would have been to about 5 years ago), it was pretty cool.

Apart - is remixed by the same guy who remixed Underneath the Stars for the 2012 Underworld movie (Underworld awakening).

I haven't seen the movie, but this new version of Apart is bone-chilling and beautiful.
I also loved the Rise of the Lycans - Underneath the stars version - i think it's much better than the original.

You can listen to the Apart remix here:

Just watched "White Bird in a Blizzard" a 2014 film directed by Greek Araki starring Eva Green. This director is known to like indie/shoegazing/dream. Music by Cocteau Twins, Echo And The Bunnymen, This Mortal Coil are part of the soundtrack. The Cure's "Pictures of you" is also included!

This is a very good movie so watch it if you get the chance!

Much to my surprise, when I watched "Toni Erdmann" and the movie was over, the end titles (credits) started and I heard the opening chimes of "Plainsong", which then plays while the credits roll on...
It's not what I had expected after this movie (some kind of comedy-drama, was an Oscar nominee, didn't win one), but still nice to hear!

why ARTE did that.  :?

They always do on telly - which is most annoying when you watch e.g. "Judge Dredd", because the Cure's "Dredd Song" is playing over the end titles as well...  :roll:

Yeah, I just (re-)discovered this one! Nice surprise.
Plus the main person (who just lost a girl, she died because of his "actions") puts the files about her on a disc and writes "The Cure Disintegration" on it (he always tries to disguise his data discs as music discs)!

Yesterday I watched the movie "Sing Street" on arte (french-german tv) and it's about some young folks in Dublin, Ireland (it's set in the 1980s), who form a band, at first they wanna be like Duran Duran etc. Then the singer's brother plays him The Cure ("Head On The Door" vinyl, "Inbetween days" is playing) with the hint "happy-sad". Thus the band wants to be like The Cure - the following scene is hilarious (talk about Cure-lookalikes):

Humorous comment on giving it all for art there.  :beaming-face  And as for copying a band - I suppose that's how tribute bands get made. Even in our regional area just across from Antarctica, you can go see tribute bands to ABBA and The Bee Gees, should that be your wish.  :angel

It is not my wish - and as for my husband, he says that is like masochism on steroids...

Well in the movie they were trying to be "futuristic"... (they were just starting out).

I think (almost) every band can't help but "copying" their favourites at first, before "carving out" their own style.
(The Beatles covered their fave rock'n'roll songs at first, The Rolling Stones covered their blues heroes. To give 2 famous examples.)

I geddit that people are influenced, @Ulrich, but there's influence and there's aping. This example crossed into aping for me, especially visually. You may think differently about this than me and no doubt some diehard Cure fans would disagree and cite things like "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" - but I always thought it was sad when a person tries to look so obviously like a particular famous person. I geddit that teenagers especially experiment with different styles to hopefully eventually arrive at their own, but there's ways you can do that without looking like a clone, or like you're on some kind of "soccer team" - and many teenagers manage to do exactly that, instead of assuming an obviously borrowed identity/appearance...

And for instance, Robert Smith was influenced by David Bowie, but didn't look like his clone, not early on either. Mike Scott was influenced by Bob Dylan, but didn't look obviously like him at any point. It's important to be your own person...

(If you really want to be freaked out, imagine for a moment how it would feel for you to suddenly see photos of people who styled themselves to look like you all over the media, and to have clones of you knocking on your door...  :1f632: ...and "Ulrich" becomes a "look" a certain subset of people start aspiring to...magazines calling you to ask where exactly you've bought your glasses and your shoes and what exact shade is your hair colour and who cuts it etc etc...and mothers buying their children "Ulrich" dolls...)

PS: Brett says, "I don't understand why I don't get that treatment. They're all probably just too intimidated, which is a good thing, because I wouldn't want any of that nonsense."

Like I said, that's how most bands/musicians start out, before they find something "of their own".

Keep in mind: this is a movie released in 2016 about a fictitious "band" from the 1980s (who were just starting out, members still going to school)!! That's why this scene was so much fun. (The whole thing was rather "tongue-in-cheek" and a bit "80s-nostalgic" and funny.)

I can see that as a humorous film this might have been fun, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! :cool

And we'll simply have to agree to disagree over some of this one, @Ulrich!  :)

People learning violin don't generally dress up as Bach when playing those practice pieces either (not even schoolkids). There's a difference between playing other people's tunes to practice, and aping other people. It's maintaining a distinction between music and actual people, between your own identity and other people's identities.

(https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.MWIKFuQ74sQEZUUCFijgwgHaJm%26pid%3DApi&f=1)
Brett says, "It's a good thing you don't dress up like him when you play something he wrote!" :lol:

I saw a lot of school bands working in high school but can't remember a single one where the band members playing were mimicking the appearance of another band - much as they might have been influenced by other musicians. So thankfully, I don't think it's the norm for young musicians to act like that fictitious band - although you do see that stuff amongst fans (especially fans with identity issues). And it does make me personally uncomfortable to see that kind of thing when people don't just do it as a Halloween gag etc. Personally I don't like tribute bands either, no matter how "good" they are - I think it's so sad when people spend their lives imitating other people instead of doing their own thing - as if they have no personal worth themselves, outside of how well they can imitate someone other people think has worth.

Of course, this is a problem on a far wider scale - with people following social expectations and having their strings pulled by advertisements and consumer culture, and unconsciously following the roles allocated by their families, instead of thinking it through and differentiating themselves from this - and in a way that's considered, rather than reactionary. That's one of the reasons why we're all going to hell in a handbasket, of course...

Now I'm personally going to stop (hooray! :winking_tongue), as I'm getting even more off-topic!  And if I see the movie on our SBS, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for posting about it! :)

(And if you enjoyed this 80s comedy, you might also enjoy this (http://curefans.com/index.php?topic=3678.msg774808#msg774808) - it may help to be a girl, but even Brett liked it! :cool)

I don't think there's need for any disagreement, as it's just a movie about a band which never really existed. (I don't even know whether the actors played the music themselves.)
I would agree if this scene was from a documentary (or movie) about an existing band!

Quote from: SueC on August 09, 2021, 02:02:48I saw a lot of school bands working in high school

I think I saw/heard only a few, but none of them sounded like the one in the film, who, at that point in the movie, hadn't even had a real gig!
(In the glamourous movie world, it often sounds better as it would in real life...)

It's only a movie, with a little bit of a "tribute" to the Cure and other bands from this time.
