I have had this account for quite a while but have done nothing with it. I decided today would be a good day to try it out and share a birthday gift with my #HATM friends.
I have created a playlist that includes one song from *most of the movies we have viewed. The chosen songs included in the playlist are the ones with the most “listens” on Spotify. My son helped out doing a little research of his own to help find songs for movies with albums that are not included on Spotify. The songs are listed in order from our first viewing to our movie set for this Sunday -Titanic.
This playlist is diverse with songs from just about every genre. I had fun putting it together. I want to provide a list of movies that are not included in the playlist, plus movies that won best picture (our yearly Oscar viewing) that I did include.
Movies albums/songs not included on Spotify:
The Dirty Dozen
The Other Boleyn Girl
Disney Secretariat
Mr. Mom
Daughters of the Dust
Red Dawn
First They Killed my Father
She’s Gotta Have It
The Sandlot
The Sword in the Stone
Christmas on the Bayou
Die Hard
The Joy Luck Club
No Country for Old Men
Oscar Winners included in Playlist:
Green Book (2019)
Parasite (2020)
Nomadland (2021)
Coda (2022)
Everything Everywhere All At Once (2023)
National Treasure, Lincoln, Black Panther, and Holy Grail were watched more than once. For the next viewings I used second most listened to song, third most listened to, and so on.
I want to thank Jason Herbert, founder of #HATM, for hosting us each Sunday. I know we have said it before but Historians at the Movies is not only extremely enjoyable but so important. I wish you well in the next 5 years, and I hope that #HATM reaches whatever goals you set forth. Thank you for your time, hospitality, the community, and most of all giving us a space to geek out each Sunday! Here’s to 5 more years!
