Many Carpenters songs would be great as a movie theme. What are some songs you think would make a great movie theme, and for what type of movie?
"This Masquerade" is my choice for a movie theme. I think it would be great in an Alfred Hitchcock type thriller.

This is a tough one most Carpenter songs are love songs and can go with any romatic comedy or romance movie. I will go with Desporado this song can go with any outlaw movie (Like The Outlaw Josey Wales) or a Billy The Kid movie (Like Young Guns) thats the best I can come up with right now.

Yeah, this song comes to mind instantly for me, but..., I've always said that I see Sean Connery in a romantic '60s Bond scene..., with champagne and everything.

For me, This Masquerade fits well in a James Bond's movie. It could be used in the next Bond's movie, if Richard wants it. I always dreamed The Carpenters doing a cover for "You Only Live Twice". This song, performed by Nancy Sinatra, was tailored for the voice of Karen.

I really like "Where Do I Go From Here". It would make a great theme song for a tearjerker kind of film about a failed love affair. The lyrics are so poetic.

For me, This Masquerade fits well in a James Bond's movie. I agree all the way on this one. The song with it's dark mysterious sound and lyric fits well with the whole atmosphere of James Bond.

As a 007 fan, I do agree. This Masquarade fits perfectly as a Bond film song. Yet Karen could have done some of those Bond songs herself.

Well, speaking of Bond films, though not an official 007 flick, Sean Connery starred in "Never Say Never Again" in 1983. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Herb Alpert involved in the musical score of that movie? (Alpert is the A of A&M records, a key player in the Carpenters' success.) This is a post-Karen movie.

Hi Mariah, you are right. Herb Alpert did the trumpet solo on the main title theme song "Never Say Never Again" which was sang by his wife Lani Hall. As for movie songs, I also think "I Just Fall In Love Again" would be great in a romantic comedy. Maybe a movie about a couple who has been seperated by some sort of tragedy and then years later they are reunited. The movie can star Nicholas Cage and Julia Roberts.

Yes Rick, I agree about the pairing of Nicholas Cage and Julia Roberts. I wonder if anyone in Hollywood has ever considered that combo. Perhaps if Karen had lived, Herb Albert would have teamed up with her somewhere along the way. It was definitely a "missed opportunity". I really wonder what influence Jerry Moss the M in A&M exerted over Herb, Karen and Richard. I'd love to have the opportunity to ask Richard about this topic. I have a suspicion Jerry blocked Herb's involvement with Karen and Richard in some way.

I think "I need to be in love" would make a great theme for a romantic movie, drama or comedy. I see Sandra Bullock or Meg Ryan starring in the lead. "You" and "(Caught between) Goodbye and I love you" would make a strong song for a movie.

How's this sound for a pair in a romantic comecy Sandra Bullock and John Travolta.
