    That has to be a Clockwork Orange. Even after I saw the movie Singing in the Rain for a film class in college all I could picture when I heard the song was Alex.

    Not the one I was thinking of. Shoulda known there was more than one for that song. Hint: a famous line from the scene later made it's way into a controversial rap song.

    Along the same lines of Carmen...how about Misirlou.

    Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues.

    A Bronx Tale the scene where Calogero's friends beat up the black kids because they are riding bikes through the neighborhood. That scene is just so powerful, it shows how it really was back in the day, especially here in New York. C tries to rip his friend off the defenseless kid, telling him "You're gonna kill him!" His friend responds "I wanna kill him!"


    EDIT: Here's the video.. Strong language.
