Francis Monkman's theme to The Long Good Friday has to be one of the most memorable pieces of music to have ever been featured in a film based in England, it also makes for a damn good morning alarm.

For some reason, the first to pop in my head was Hitchcock's underrated Frenzy.

I think An American Werewolf in London has some very good music by Ermer Bernstein that begins with a moody piece of music to illustrate the creepy atmosphere of the English countryside with its great forests and dark moors and it ends with the classic song Blue Moon as sung by a rock band, which nicely demonstrates the contrast between the Anglo-Saxon wilderness and the English urban jungle in which Americans, frankly, feel, much like the mythological werewolf figure, like social and cultural outcasts.

If I was you, I'd have a word with Ben 'Plan B' Drew about London, films & music. He seems to be a man in the know.
