2. That song "Spirit In The Sky" seems to be going around lately

in movie soundtracks and trailers. Just last night I was watching the 2014 film "Extraterrestrial" and it played at the end while an X-files type cigarette man was presiding over the unceremonious burial of the main characters killed by the U.S. army for having witnessed the presence of aliens. I think I've heard it in other recent films, too.

4. Movie trailers, car commercials... It's been a popular choice going back a decade or more. n/t

5. Well ...Sergio Leone once said 40% of a movie is sound

Eastwood also acknowledges Leone's innovative use of sound design: "A film has to have a sound of its own, and the Italians – who don't record sound while they're shooting – are very conscious of this in the post-production department. Sergio Leone felt that sound was very important, about 40 percent of the film...Leone will get a very operatic score, a lot of trumpets, and then all of a sudden, “Ka-pow!” He'll shut it off and let the horses snort and all that sort of thing. It's very effective...I think Sergio's films changed the style, the approach to Westerns. They “operacized” them, if there is such a word. They made the violence and the shooting aspect a little larger than life, and they had great music and new types of scores."
