Big screen entertainment ... what are the best songs inspired by cinema? Photograph: Sang Tan/AP
A good crop of European songs last week - thanks for that. No countries were omitted for any particular reason. I was just looking for the songs that fitted.
I'm on holiday for the next two weeks so the splendid Sophie Heawood will be looking after everything. Frogprincess has suggested we have a cinema-themed playlist to coincide with the Cannes film festival and it would be churlish to refuse. The theme is songs inspired by films - that means anything involving movie titles, characters, actors, famous dialogue or the act of going to the cinema, but not songs that have only appeared in films. We've had Bananarama's Robert De Niro's Waiting, the Kinks' Celluloid Heroes and Billy Bragg's Ingrid Bergman before, so they're out too. Everything else is fair game.
Deadline for recommendations is Monday 1pm. The archive of previous columns is accessible here, and you can also see an A-Z of every single song that has appeared in the weekly playlists.
