Live Poll: "Everybody Knows" Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen was a Canadian singer-songwriter. His songs may not have been chartbusters immediately when released. But his unconventional singing style made sure to keep an everlasting memory of his melodies. Even his songs crooned by other artists create a similar aura because of the soul-lifting lyrics.
These are the most popular movies with his songs. If you get a chance to create a Leonard Cohen playlist, which of these versions of his songs would you choose?

Perhaps you should include the other performers' names.
I would usually prefer Cohen's versions, though.

I love Leonard Cohen's work; he was such a great songwriter and this is a great poll! There are so many great songs and versions on this list but I'd probably go with Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" because, wow, his voice was exquisite. My favorite version of that song is actually Rufus Wainright's for the piano and his vocal choices but it wasn't actually in any movie so I'll go with Jeff Buckley's. I'm surprised that no film, other than a documentary on Cohen, ever used "A Bunch of Lonesome Heroes."
May I suggest three small edits to the intro? The third one isn't a grammatical suggestion so only use it, of course, if you agree. : )

I discovered Everybody Knows in the version of Sigrid, which I discovered watching Justice League, and was one of the very few things I liked about the movie. It gets my vote.
