Film There are two irritating things about film trailers. Firstly, the fact the longer ones always give away the plot. But secondly the music. If I see one more with the theme from 'The Rocketeer' playing in the background I'm going to give up film as a hobby (no really). But more than that I hate it when I know I've heard a theme somewhere before but I can't quite put my finger on where and so spend the first ten minutes of the actual film trying to work it out. I'll wonder no longer, as SoundtrackNet offers a staggeringly informative list of films and their trailer music. Some this is fascinating. Want something creepy for that John Malkovitch film? That'll be the theme from 'Brazil'. 'The X-Files' pilfers from 'Romeo + Juliet' and 'Scream'. Sadly 'The Rocketeer' isn't listed -- although I think I can guess what that would have been.
