Last night I saw that Watchmen movie with

chlorrel. Overall I thought it was pretty awesome, but I'm fairly sure the best part was how it was accompanied by the least subtle soundtrack in the history of cinema. It was like being hit multiple times with a sledgehammer! Sometimes it was a totally awesome sledgehammer, and sometimes it was just a completely hilarious sledgehammer (and you all know which scene I mean.)

So, now I totally want to know: what would you guys add to the ~*~least subtle soundtrack ever?~*~

For example, I am kind of shocked that they never used American Pie - possibly for the scene when Dr. Manhattan dumps Janey Slater? Or maybe when Janey Slater pulls off her cancer-wig. BYE BYE, MISS AMERICAN PIE. And

chlorrel suggests Last Midnight for the scene with the Doomsday Clock!

Totally agreed; I loved the music in the trailers despite mass fan loathing, and was a little flabbergasted by just how stupidly obvious all of the choices were in the actual movie.

Though "99 Red Balloons" was FUCKING HILARIOUS/MASTERFUL, and no one will convince me otherwise.

SO VERY AGREED. *just about died*

I also loved the "The Times They Are A-Changing" montage; obvious it may have been, but it was exactly the right kind of obvious!
