    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.

    Elton John's Tiny Dancer on the bus scene in Almost Famous. All the characters singing along make it very memorable.

    "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:

    Wayne's World: Bohemian Rhapsody?
