Movies/TV Shows that would be great for Damo

Today I was thinking about how Damien Rice's music can, at least for me, make any TV show or movie better. What songs fit perfectly for movies or shows?

I was thinking (yeah I know it's cheesy) but Titanic, 'Cold Water', it should have been in the movie. haha

I found some strange connection between Never Been in This Place Before and Le Science des rêves lately.

I think it's OK when they use the songs 'wisely' like they did in House or Grey's anatomy or in the movie Closer... I mean, connecting the lyrics of the song with what's happening in the movie...

I think it's a bit of a sell-out to use it in something as commercial as Shrek 3 but that's my opinion. But not sure if that's Damien's decission or his management...

Thank god his songs weren't on Titanic!!!!!!

Well I have nothing against big green monsters but yeah I was disappointed by the utilisation of 9 crimes in Shrek III. But I ve really appreciated "delicate" in Lost although lost is as commercial as shrek is, so... I guess it's just that I can see Damien's music illustrate the feelings of the characters of a tv show or a movie but not that of a big green monster, it just doesn't make sense. (but once again no offence to Shrek! I totally respect his feelings!)
I heard Damien saying on the french TV that the decision of letting a song be used in a TV show or a movie was not his but the one of his manager.

haha but it fits, you have to admit it. I guess it's either that or "We Both Go Down Together" by the decemberists!

Nanook, a documentary movie about an Eskimo. Guess I don't need to precise wich song of Damien should suit the best to this movie.

Yeah, when I heard Damien say that, I couldn't understand, and felt the first time Damien being unsincere, I was quite disapointed.
How can that be possible ? I'm sure it's not so hard for him to say to his manager "No, I don't want my songs to appear in this program/movie"...
I don't like his song appearing in american series. Damien songs are much more valuable. When will a firm use one of his songs for an add ? Will he then say, "It's not me who took the decision, it's my manager"...

I for one, am kind of glad they use his music in television and movies (I don't know about Shrek because I haven't seen it). but I first became aware of Damien when they played "Delicate" on an episode of Alias in '04. I went out the next day and bought the CD. If I hadn't seen it on that show I don't know if I'd have ever found him. I know a few people who began listening to him after they saw Closer and I think the way it was used in Grey's Anatomy worked well for the show and the song...

Same here!! I made Alias mixes and put all the songs from the show on cds, and when I heard Delciate I was like WOW. So that's how I became a fan. Thank you J.J. Abrams (if you pickd it) for making me aware of Damo!
