The votes are in.
Last week, with a Covid-busting Golden Discs voucher worth €25 on offer, I asked you to name your favourite use of a song in a film or TV series.
You answered in your tens.
And, owing to the sheer volume and quality of the entries, I am giving two vouchers to two joint winners for the first time.
Third Place:
In Dreams by Roy Orbison in Blue Velvet.

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack in Play Misty For Me.

Surely it has to be this. It makes me smile every time.
Thanks all.
Last week: Win Nick’s Voucher
Thanks Nick, it was great week, some brilliant choices :)
Roll me another one, joint winner :)
Congrats Bertie+Millie!
Nick, has there been winners of all the Golden Discs comps?
Excellent choices, and well done Bertie and Millie (of course, it had to be you two :-) )!
Seriously, this was one of my favourite of the competitions, some fantastic songs, some fantastic films, some I never saw before. I now have a little list that will make the days go by much more pleasantly.
Close but no cigar. Honourable mention for a David Lynch film and Roy Orbsion & Dean Stockwell is good enough for me!
Is that Andrew Strong of the Commitments , at 2.10 directly behind the main singer in the “Tiny Dancer vid ? Certainly looks like him although uncredited on IDMb cast list .
