Bowling for Columbine (2002)

This is not a film about gun control. It is a film about the fearful heart and soul of the United States, and the 280 million Americans lucky enough to have the right to a constitutionally protected Uzi. From a look at the Columbine High School security camera tapes to the home of Oscar-winning NRA President Charlton Heston, from a young man who makes homemade napalm with The Anarchist's Cookbook to the murder of a six-year-old girl by another six-year-old. Bowling for Columbine is a journey through the US, through our past, hoping to discover why our pursuit of happiness is so riddled with violence.

The movie Bowling for Columbine, released in 2002, features 16 songs from artists like Teenage Fanclub, Billy Murray, The Beatles and Louis Armstrong. What is your favorite song from Bowling for Columbine?
