10 Reasons Why The World's End Is Secretly The Best Of The Cornetto Trilogy

9. Soundtrack

One of The World's End's secret weapons is nostalgia €“ unsurprising given the nature of the premise €“ and in no aspect of the finished product is this more rewarding to the viewer than in its excellent soundtrack. Wheeling out a host of forgotten gems from the early '90s Britpop movement €“ including Teenage Fanclub, Suede and The Soup Dragons €“ alongside some better known hits from the likes of Pulp and The Stone Roses, the film's choice of soundtrack underscores the plight of fallen idol Gary King, a hero of the heyday he refuses to loosen his grip on. What's more, who could sit through such a wealth of bygone classics and not themselves fancy a pint afterwards? While Shaun and Fuzz each have a superb choice of fitting pop to prop them up, The World's End outdoes them yet again with its constant onslaught of rousing, rocking numbers (there's even room for some early Kylie Minogue in the only place where you'd expect to hear her). And in true Cornetto fashion, each song lyrically compliments what is happening on screen at the time. Pegg and Wright leave no stone unturned.
