I thought I'd share the best use of music used in a movie to set the mood and tell a story.

    That was exactly the scene that I thought of when I saw the subject of this thread. Good pick!

    Yes, Donnie Darko definitely nails it several times... hmm. I'm on a snow day. Perhaps I'll watch Donnie Darko later; haven't seen it in years! :)

    I'd also say that the entire Pulp Fiction soundtrack is a lesson in perfect soundtracks - timing, music choice, everything. For the whole movie.

    Although this looks to be a re-edited music video, the real movie and music scene was perfect and kinda happens around 1:35. I felt like I was a desperate, horny 17 year old again when I originally saw this. :P She was so cruel. :oops:

    Great topic - The End/Doors/Apoc Now is tough to beat....Here are some classics and new entries.....I suggest you listen to/watch the following scenes:

    Stealers Wheel, "Stuck in the Middle" - Movie: Reservoir Dogs (torture scene)
    Eric Clapton, "Layla" - Movie: Goodfellas (scene that shows all the different dead bodies)
    Red Rider, "Lunatic Fringe" - Movie: Vision Quest (scene before the big match)
    Hans Zimmer, "You're So Cool" - Movie: True Romance (ending scene)
    Glen Hansard, "Falling Slowly" - Movie: Once (scene where they play for 1st time at Music shop)Radiohead, "You and Whose Army" - Movie: Incendies (beginning scene)

    Good list...you mention Goodfellas,...that reminds me of Casino when House of the Rising Sun comes on while Sharon Stone stumbles down the hallway.

    "Takin' a Ride" from Heavy Metal was pretty epic.

    So was "Reach Out" by Cheap Trick (same show).

    I didn't think this was a debate. I was just informing everyone that the use of Tiny Dancer in Almost Famous was the best use of music in a movie scene. :P

    But there are a few suggestions that could make me reconsider. The Pixies and Fight Club is a nice choice.

    Now I'm curious what else is out there: :corn:
