Music was an integral part of 2000's High Fidelity and the film's soundtrack was packed with memorable songs from all sorts of genres. The film centered on a store owner named Rob who recounts his most painful breakups while actively going through a new one. The movie was praised for its accurate translation of author Nick Hornby's novel of the same name, and its use of music also closely replicated the feel of the book.
"Everybody's Gonna Be Happy" by The Kinks - High Fidelity held up because of its soundtrack packed with classic songs, and The Kinks' hit played under the scene in which he tried to convince Barry to abandon his idea of playing in a band. "Most Of The Time" by Bob Dylan - Folk rock auteur Bob Dylan often had a song for every occasion, and his song "Most of the Time" led into one of the movie's most touching moments. It played as Rob left Laura's father's wake and walked in the rain. It underscored a funnier moment as Rob dove over a fence to avoid being seen.
"Cold Blooded Old Times" by Smog - One of Jack Black's favorite films, High Fidelity featured the song played underneath a classic Barry moment that was brought to life by Black. The song played in the record store as Rob listed his all-time lead off songs, and continued as Barry refused to sell a record he didn't like to an irate customer.
