Surely the song Think (freedom) is more associated with the movie blues brothers where aretha franklin actually performs it in that cafe.

    As I said on another thread, I'd never heard of the Blues Brothers but had heard of the Bridget Jones films.

    That says more about your film knowledge than anything else.

    We were saying that!!! It's a CLASSIC - one of my all time faves, and Aretha singing that song in the cafe is one of my fave scenes!!!

    Didn't Bridget Jones make a lot more money? Maybe they think more people know that movie than Blues Brothers?

    Yes it does - I can't help it if I'm stupid, and I'm entitled to like the films I like just as everyone else is.

    Maybe it is a age thing,but Blues Brothers was turned into a musical as well and is more well known in my house than Bridget Jones.

    I would associate it with Blues Bros. too.
    (To be fair,though,I probably missed it in the other film as I quit watching half an hour in because I couldn't stand the idiotic Bridget or the film in general)

    No, she's a bit too shouty for the subtleties of Gabrielle. I tout it was going to be "it's raining men" from the famous fight scene. :)

    I thought it was going to be Eric Carmen's, " All by myself" done Mariah Carey style. :)

    Oh yes, I forgot about that one! Hate to say it, but I think Misha is too shouty for that, too. :o.

    I've watched the Bridget Jones films loads (prefer the first one) and I wouldn't associate Think with it (I can't even remember when it's in the film).

    I thought Blues Brothers and I've not even seen it.

    When they said Aretha, I thought she would be singing R.E.S.P.E.C.T. which I feel is more associated with Bridget Jones than Think to be honest, just for that part in the first film where she tells Hugh Grant where to shove it. Think is so much more associated with the Blues Brothers, it's actually performed IN that film by the original artist and was way before Edge of Reason. Makes no difference if the audience will know BJ more than BB, it still appeared in that movie first and in a more prominent position. Flippin' X Factor!
