My latest peice on Yahoo I broke down a pretty good list of the best ones I could think of:

I'm sure I missed some more or didn't think of some of the best. Thanks for reading! Enjoy

    That is a spectacular list!

    I also love the Leonard Cohen songs in Natural Born Killers. Kinda creepy feel.
    Also, Chris Cornell Sunshower in Great Expectations...
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    That's Cool!!! One i liked is the use of "Live"'s Overcome at the end of "The Shield" Season 2 after they rip off the money train.

    Awesome list! Another great use of "Yellow Ledbetter" is at the very end and credits of the movie "Fifty Fifty"

    Watched The Graduate the other day; surprised the plethora of beautifully-placed music didn't make the list.

    Also, the end song from the series finale of Six Feet Under...can't remember the name or artist, but holy fuck was it perfection.

    I guess "best" really is subjective.

    Anyway, nice job!

    And you had never seen the Graduate before? One of my all time favorites.

    That version of "Comfortably Numb" on The Departed is technically Roger Waters featuring Van Morrison & The Band. Not a big deal, but thought I'd throw that out there in case you want your article to be more accurate.

    Cool list.

    Here's a couple of ones I like:

    Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe in Forest Gump

    Beach Boys - Good Vibrations in Vanilla Sky

    Not saying they should have been on your list, just ones that I liked...

    Thanks
