Sisters tracks in the movies

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Maybe some of you have heard of John Sinclair, a German horror detective fiction and penny dreadful. In the late 90ies they also made a low budget TV series of it. Some time ago I bought the John Sinclair 3 DVD collectors edition. I find it quite funny because it is so trashy. There is an episode on one of the DVDs called "Der Hexenclub" – The witches club. The story line is quite silly and the actors are mediocre. However, I was quite staggered when they played Colours – not once but twice. They also played More and Neverland and one of the witches is named Lucretia. Guess there was a Sisters fan in the production company. Let’s hope :von: does not know about it. :lol:

I guess most of you know that they played Vision Thing in Showgirls. I also remember Phantom being played as background music in a movie about architecture. So, what’s your favourite appearance of Sisters tunes on TV and in cinema?

Got to be the theme tune to Lost Boys.

Temple of Love is played in Fatih Akin's movie Head-On (2004) as Hom mentions.

If you have a look at imdb you will find them all 3 movies, one videon game and some tv appearance lin TOTP or Wake, didn't know that Wake was for TV until now :lol:

Oh yes. That and The Cult at The Lyceum were both on ITV late night IIRC. Both recorded on VHS at the time. :)

More was used some months ago from a Greek tv channel to promote CSI:Miami and many more songs used in trailers in previous years. But all those trailers are made by the channels as promos to their program and can not make a list of them that could be used for any useful reasoning. It sounds like trainspotting :twisted:

Rain From Heaven is a code name for an operation & they even use Finland red, Egypt white as the coded commands.
