'Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando And I' The penultimate cut on their last album, Collapse Into Now, sees Stipe ruminate on the nature of fame and heroism, reimagining the setting of Neil Young’s 'Pocahontas', which recounted a fictional meeting between Young, Pocahontas and Marlon Brando. Best Come Dine With Me ever.

1	Until the End of the World
	R.E.M. had a gorgeous track, Fretless, that appeared in this Wim Wenders film. It featured Kate Pierson and wouldn't have looked out of place on Out of Time. More

2	Vanilla Sky
	Sweetness Follows lending the sequence of Tom Cruise's final collapse into the gutter a huge emotional heft. (Is 'heft' a word, I think it is) Great moment. More

5	Best R.E.M in movies for me is....
	Leave, from New Adventures in Hi-Fi, over the soundtrack to A Life Less Ordinary. Absolutely the best bit of the film (not too difficult to be fair). More

	What about Michael Stipe's foray into producing? Velvet Goldmine and Being John Malkovich both have his name on the credits for what it's worth. A bit more of a concrete association with movies than a song being cinematic. More
