Is there any way to find out the title of a specific song from a movie? I’ve been looking to find out the name (and performer) of a song in “Grosse Point Blank” that plays during the scene when Martin Blank (John Cusack) pours the bottle of liquor over his father’s grave. Can anyone help on this one?

Follow the bouncing link and take a peek. I can’t remeber specifically which song is playing at that part, however this link should list all credited songs in the film.

IMDB (Internet Movie DataBase) is the best place to find anything you want to know about any movie, all cross-referanced, linked, checked and so on.

hmmmm. thanks for the link, but part of the problem is i’m pretty sure it’s not credited…there are only a few lines played, and i had never heard it before or since. is that possible? that a song can be used in a movie and not included in the credits? ahhh, the search continues…

Now I’m going to have to go rent it again and watch it for that song… 🙂
