Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Those interested in finding their own film syncs should be aware that syncing to The Beatles album Help! is one of the most widely used albums. Interestingly, it is often used for action films which seems (at first blush) a rather odd choice as it has so many love/relationship songs on the album. Filmmakers compensate by making broad use of "Ticket To Ride" and "Help" and then to cast a rather blind eye to gender issues. So, the song "You're Gonna Lose That Girl" could be used tongue in cheek for a lost enemy, lost gem, lost dog, etc. etc.

Another thing to forget about is that one song follows another. Filmmakers don't give a darn about the order of things on an album, they care about using music to inspire them. Period.

I've done a sync of four songs to a segment of the film including:

"Ticket to Ride"
"You've Got To Hide Your Love Away"
"Help!"
"I Need You"

Those interested could easily continue the sync to the end of the film if they pay attention to the scenes and little care about needing to repeat songs (hint, hint).
