Movies with inappropriate music 1. Appointment with Death 2. Battleship - Fortunate Son 3. Dead Man 4. Inglourious Basterds “Inappropriate” is an opinion anyway, so I’ll share mine: Tarantino’s use of David Bowie’s _Cat People (Putting Out the Fire)_ was a baffling choice. It’s anachronistic, doesn’t fit the tone of the film, and not least, it’s the _theme song of an entirely different movie._ I love _IB_, but that song just pulls me out of it every time. ---

**Movies with inappropriate music** 1. Appointment with Death 2. Battleship - Fortunate Son 3. Dead Man 4. Inglourious Basterds 5. The Sting Again, concerning ‘inappropriate’ I would submit that the Scott Joplin ragtime songs written ~1902 were not contemporary with the time depicted in The Sting (ie. the Depression). Doesn’t mean they aren’t great tunes, just not appropriate to the era. ---

Birth of a Nation There was a score composed especially for the movie, but it’s rarely used since the film’s original run. Usually a classical music score is played that includes “Ride of the Valkyries” accompanying the KKK’s ride into town. Not that I’m defending the movie, but I’ve heard the original score, and the music that is supposed to accompany that scene is much more sinister. ---
