The new indie drama “Janie Jones,” about a rock star (Alessandro Nivola) who connects


The new indie drama “Janie Jones,” about a rock star (Alessandro Nivola) who connects with the 13-year-old daughter (Abigail Breslin) he never knew he had, takes its title from the song of the same name by The Clash. Here are five other movies that share their titles with songs:

v “Blue Velvet” (1986): David Lynch uses the 1963 Bobby Vinton song to surreal effect, both in Isabella Rossellini’s performance of it as a troubled lounge singer and in Dennis Hopper’s evocation of it as the drug addict who torments her for his own twisted benefit.

v “Boys Don’t Cry” (1999): A little-known Hilary Swank won her first Academy Award for best actress for her daring and demanding portrayal of Brandon Teena, a real-life transgendered teen who was raped and murdered in Nebraska in 1993. A version of “Boys Don’t Cry,” an early hit for The Cure, plays during the Kimberly Peirce film.

v “High Fidelity” (2000): Since we love picking top-five lists around here, we had to choose the movie in which the characters stand around a record store all day ... making top-five lists. Elvis Costello’s 1980 song “High Fidelity” doesn’t appear in Stephen Frears’ film, based on the novel by Nick Hornby.

v “Dazed and Confused” (1993): The Led Zeppelin song that inspired the title doesn’t appear anywhere in Richard Linklater’s ensemble comedy, which follows a group of high school juniors on their last day of class in 1976. But the soundtrack is packed with hits from the era.

v “Pretty in Pink” (1986): The 1981 Psychedelic Furs tune was an inspiration for writer-director John Hughes, and the band re-recorded it for inclusion here.

“90210” (8 p.m., The CW): It’s Vegas, baby, as the “90210” gang heads to sin city. Don’t expect the strip to ever be the same.

“vietnam in hd” (9 p.m., history channel): “Vietnam in HD” is a visually stunning three-night documentary series that examines the history of the war via rare and restored footage. Michael C. Hall narrates.
