songs about the End of the World [View all]

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101458/

Sometimes-muddled road movie-turns-sci fi. Hurt plays a man who is traveling the world taking pictures with a special camera that will enable the blind to see (specifically, his blind mother). He meets up with Dommartin on the way, and they predictably hit it off. Set in 1999, a subplot about a nuclear satellite that has fallen to earth and presumably destroyed civilization only adds to the confusion.

The awesome soundtrack:

Graeme Revell: "Opening Titles" (Revell) (Solo cello performed by David Darling) – 1:59

R.E.M.: "Fretless" (Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe and featuring Kate Pierson) – 4:49
Elvis Costello: "Days" (Ray Davies) – 4:49
