Episode 5!!
The soundtrack episode - songs played will be written in a nice colour.

Ennio Morricone – "the good, the bad, and the ugly" (1966)

Ry Cooder - "No Safety Zone" from Paris, Texas (1984) a film by Wim Wenders

These two guys have worked together a few times, most notably when Wim Wenders filmed Ry travelling to Cuba to rediscover the Beuna Vista Social Club. Wim’s use of music is incredibly important to his work as a film-maker in such films as incredible Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin) from 1987, or the mediocre Million Dollar Hotel (2000) which was part written by Bono – and indeed, the soundtrack feautures members of U2 amongst others.

- "Your Blue Room" from Beyond the clouds a film byWim Wenders and Michaelangelo Antonini.
- "One minute warning" from Ghost in the shell

- Bjork - "Ambergris March" from Matthew Barney's Drawing Retraint 9

In 1995, Jarmusch released Dead Man, a film set in the American West in the 19th century starring Johnny Depp and Gary Farmer that has been called a Western movie, an "acid western," an "anti-Western," and a "post-Western" by various critics. The film has been hailed as one of the few films made by a Caucasian that presents an authentic Native American culture and character, and Jarmusch stands by it as such; however, critics have both praised and decried the film for its portrayal of the American West, violence, and especially Native Americans.[5] The film was shot in black and white by Robby Müller, and features a score composed and performed by Neil Young.

Other films of his that emphasise music and music culture are – Coffee and Cigarettes, which stars one of his favourites Tom Waits (who also starred in Down By Law directed by Jarmusch) along with Iggy Pop in one of the eleven short stories, GZA and RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan and even Jack and Meg White from the White Stripes. RZA also did the soundtrack to Ghost Dog: the way of the Samurai (1999), yet another film that had a huge emphasis on the sound and culture that hip-hop plays in the back-streets and parks of New Jersey.
