SONGS IN FILM: SID VICIOUS (FRANK SINATRA)- MY WAY FROM GOODFELLAS

I love watching movies and TV shows and having those moments when a song really brings a scene or moment to life. It’s genuinely a really great experience and those that last in your mind for quite some time. The other night I was watching the classic and one one the best mob movies of all time, Goodfellas. This movie is downright fantastic. Sometimes I wish it were a longer movie like Casino is. The scene at the end of the film and how things play out is one of those that should be studied in film school. The way it’s shot, the actors, and of course the song. Martin Scorcese has always had a great ear for picking songs for his films and his inclusion of “My Way” the Sid Vicious version not the Frank Sinatra one really adds to this even more. The attitude in the Sid version has always stood out to me and it comes even more to life with being a part of this scene.

  1. I got a kick out of this article. Just for the hell of it…Have you ever Heard Mark Tremonti’s cover of Sinatra’s “My Way” ? If not take a listen. https://youtu.be/1u_XcTf1GRM?si=LU-V_oZrbHBrKS8i Tremonti is so underrated in my opinion. Just wanted to share with ya. I know I’m off topic but if you haven’t seen the movie “Lawless” its a great film. Plus I’m such a die hard Mark Lanegan fan even though the poor guy passed away a few years ago. https://youtu.be/nMYQeCYcdJE?si=8fELdP9UuJ5Tmyqz, Also are you going to cover or write anything about QOTSA “Live From The Catacombs “?

    1. Hi! Glad you liked the article. I have heard the Tremonti version. It’s decent. I’m not much of a fan of him. Lanegan of course! I might do something about the Queens Live album. Depends on how I feel about it once I’m done listening. I haven’t been too keen on them in a while.
