Bit late but The Stranglers also covered Money Money with a guest vocalist using the band name 'Celia and the Mutations'. They used to play it live at regular Stranglers gigs.

Oh and whoever mentioned White Room, that was Hugh Cornwell and Robert Williams on Nosferatu.

No idea who the latter is, so I'll guess that their partners are both wildlife artists.

I could do the Wainwrights at a punt, but the first two are a bit beyond me.

Scarface, Hell's Angels & The Outlaw are the only HH films I can think of.

R&J gives me Zefirelli & Luhrmann.

Did Luhrmann have something to do with the soundtrack to the Aviator?

Leo di Caprio was in The Aviator and Luhrmann's R&J, wasn't he? 

Still can't link to Wainwrights :(

They're all ruddy in it, aren't they? ;D

I've never seen the film, but I remember Rufus mentioning it in a radio interview.  I guess it's the sort of thing they would do...

Well, The Aviator's about Howard Hughes, and di Caprio was in both that and R&J, but I'm not sure of anything else.

I don't think any of the Wainwrights were in that, though ???

With a heavy hint from RobH,Clarion has it. Di Caprioin both films,and all three Wainwrights in one film. I didn't realise it was them till I saw the credits......

Oh dear.  It wasn't meant to be tricky, honest!

It was meant to be topical, but it may be waning ;D
