Top 5 Piano Songs In Movies

Check out the "sequel" to this list: Another 5 Great Piano Songs in Movies

y favorite piano songs written for movies. It was quite hard to put them in order but I would say that nr. 1 and 2 are clear favorites.

#5. Jan A.P. Kaczmarek - Japan/Goodbye

from Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009)

The melody from "Goodbye" starts at 1:38 in "Japan" but with a faster pace and some different notes, which to me sounds better.

#4. Yann Tiersen - Le Moulin

from Amélie (2001)

#3. Michael Nyman - The Sacrifice/The Heart Asks Pleasure First

from The Piano (1993)

A repeated melody throughout the movie and The Sacrifice is the version I like most.

#2. Clint Mansell - Together We Will Live Forever

from The Fountain (2006)

#1. Michael Nyman - Big My Secret

from The Piano (1993)

For those who're interested, I've uploaded some piano tutorials to Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/trackmarked/
As soon as I learn how to play these five I will try to make tutorials for them too.

Top 5 Trees In Movies

Usually, trees in movies are just trees, but sometimes they're more than just a tree, they're a character, a symbol or simply an extremely usable object. They might have an extraordinary ability, be incredibly beautiful or just be of great meaning to the characters or the viewers. This is my list of the  five greatest movie trees.

#5. Grandmother Willow 

from Pocahontas (1995)

The tree that gives pocahonthas and her fans necessary advice about life.  
It's a long time since I heard her voice, but I'll definitely be hearing her again soon!

#4. Treebeard

from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

This ent has the best voice in the world of trees and he's also an important fighter on the good side.

#3. The Tree of Life

from The Fountain (2006)

The tree that gives life, though maybe a little too much of it. Extremely beautiful.

#2. Home Tree
from Avatar (2009)

An extremely powerful tree that I would be happy to keep in my backyard! Or simply live in.

#1. The Swimming Tree
from Pippi Longstocking (1969)

Maybe the least beautiful tree on the list, but this is a real tree that exists or existed somewhere in real life. It has always been a dream for me to play in a tree like this, just like Pippi and her friends does.
