The 20 Best Songs Written For Movies

7 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Everyone seems just as pumped for the Jay-z-produced soundtrack for "The Great Gatsby" as they are for the flick itself. But before we look ahead at what The Hova has in store for what we can only imagine will be the coolest-ever soundtrack to something you were forced to read in high school, let's look back at some of the all-time great movie songs.

Feature by Adam D'Arpino

20. Three 6 Mafia: 'Hard Out Here For a Pimp' ('Hustle & Flow')

Three 6 Mafia took home the Oscar for Best Original Song for this jam that confirmed what we had all already suspected: Pimpin' ain't easy. Terrence Howard and Taryn Manning's performances in "Hustle & Flow" were stellar, but there's little doubt that Three 6 Mafia's Oscar appearance, combined with host Jon Stewart's verbal Oscar tally ("Three 6 Mafia 1, Martin Scorcese 0") is what everyone remembers most about the movie. »

The 5 Best Wins in MTV Movie Award History

6 March 2013 12:26 PM, PST | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »

Not-so-shocking confession: The 2013 MTV Movie Award nominations were just announced, and I'm psyched about it. Sure, the ceremony has become overrun with Twihard vote-in victories, but that doesn't mean the ceremony is a total drag. In fact, I can think of five times the MTV Movie Awards restored my faith in award show culture and, subsequently, life itself. Here are the five greatest moments in MTV Movie Award history.

5. 1992: Best Movie -- Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Other nominees: 

Backdraft

Boyz n the Hood

JFK

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Going all the way back to the first ceremony, MTV rained trophies on Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and with good reason: It's one of the most watchable action movies ever and features some of the most well-developed characters in the history of the genre. Sorry, Lisbeth Salander, but Sarah Connor has more grit and fabulousness in one strap of her »

Watch a clip from ‘Blood Money’, starring and co-directed by Tony Tarantino

29 January 2013 1:56 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Quentin Tarantino is often criticized for his terrible acting, and with good reason. The subject came up again during our Tarantino month-long tribute, back in December. Justine Smith wrote a very interesting piece, titled simply, Tarantino the Actor. While she did not defend the director’s skill in front of the camera, she did however, defend his performance in From Dusk Till Dawn, stating:

The only time that Tarantino has ever given a truly impressive performance is in From Dusk Till Dawn, where he plays a mentally unstable killer who has difficulty distinguishing reality from fiction. He is perfectly cast in this role, as his natural “strangeness” works directly in favour of the character. In comparison with George Clooney, who navigates this universe with familiarity and an effortless sense of cool, Tarantino’s character struggles to understand the moral boundaries of this criminal milieu. He is literally out of place in this universe, »
