And they also use a version of 'Talk Show Host' in the film too, and that was exclusively on the soundtrack.
"Exit Music" is not on the R+J soundtrack, and the version used over the credits is a different mix from the one on OK Computer. But both soundtrack CDs (volume 1 and volume 2) feature different versions of "Talk Show Host"... volume 2 has some astounding music on it that always makes me cry. Particularly the last three tracks.

As a father of two daughters The Way You Look Tonight in Father Of The Bride (Steve Martin) always brings a tear to my jaded eye.

Interesting, I haven't seen the movie in years.

Recently, the most saddest song I have heard is 'Keep Me In Your Heart' by Warren Zevon.

That was his goodbye song to his family, friends and fans and you can clearly hear it in his voice that he is weak and dying. Hard to listen to.

Here's a tasteless joke to sum it up: How do you tell the difference between Cat Stevens and Harry Chapin using only a gun? If you pull the trigger it's Harry Chapin, if not it's Cat stevens.

That's not a Cat Stevens song. It's a Harry Chapin song.

It's not paticularly a sad song, but I've noticed a lot of people tend to get quiet when they hear it...Imagine, by John Lennon

Seriously, Dust In The Wind always makes me feel melancholy.

Yep.. both sad tunes in their own rights..

For me.. Hmmmmmmm.... Empty garden by Elton John...in memory of John Lennon always mists me up...
