Gloomy Sunday is such a haunting song. Especially when she sings it.
Night and Day is also one of my favorites.

There is also a full length German/Hungarian film which is quite good called "Gloomy Sunday", however it's hard to find. I was able to find a full length streaming version on You Tube, which is subtitled. It's based on the original song by a Hungarian composer - it was known as "The Hungarian Suicide Song" at one time, but it's hard to know how much of the legend was truth and how much was rumor.
Anyway, it's a good story and a well done film w/ mostly German, Hungarian and a few other European actors. Takes place during the Nazi occupation in WWII. It's a bit on the depressing side, but it really draws you in.
See link if you are interested...
