I rarely do requests but in an effort to assuage George's disappointment following Friday's post, here's a Bob Hoskins inspired compilation of crime fuelled carnage.
A 13-song, 46-minute trawl through Bob's formidable film and television CV, with namesake songs from some heavyweight artists.
A few notable omissions, however. I was unable to find any songs named after Who Framed Roger Rabbit? or Super Mario Brothers.
I also left off A Prayer For The Dying for three reasons:
1) I only had one song in my collection and that was by Seal;
2) The lead actor, Mickey Rourke, has been getting more screen time in the past week than he deserves;
3) The film is utter shite.
Whilst at least one of Bob's films name checked here is a classic crime drama, at least one is arguably a crime that it was ever committed to celluloid. I'll leave you to decide which is which.
