Layer Cake has one of the best…..

nice post bro. glad to see another human on this board lol

yeah you are kinda late to the party. i think it was in skyfall when sidney became Q. as i understand it, craig and whishon are long time friends off screen, even before layer cake. personally i think making him into Q was a mistake, but hey it's just one of several things i wish they HADNT done with the new bond series. (post quantum, btw. i think the series was developing fine up until skyfall was released)

love that song, you got the love.

i agree about the soundtrack. if you poke around you may find some old threads where i discussed this at length with some old board regulars here (in the imdb days, that is). one was 'Damocles' Sword' but i haven't seen him here since 2017 when moviechat was launched. it's sad, really, that the boards had to die because it was a great thing for almost 20 years.

at one time i was on this board daily, but i barely even check it anymore.

the soundtrack you mention is the score too, i think. all of those songs are played in the movie.

"whoever was responsible" ...that would be matthew vaughn the director. he talks about the music a lot in the DVD commentray. IMO vaughn has a great ear for music and a great sense for choosing the right song to amplify a scene, even if it's a diminutive track such as all the soft droning ethereal vocals/instrumentals used in layer cake. his music taste is evident in all of his films, but layer cake was his first directorial effort, though he also probably chose most of the music in Snatch and Lock Stock, both of which are very well done musical scores too.

vaughn is a genius when it comes to matching music to a movie scene, IMO.
