Memorable movie music

Recommended Posts

The sad/depressing song thread seemed to bring up a lot of songs that were used in movies. Rather than threadjack that one, I'll ask... what do you think are the most memorable uses of songs in movies? One where whenever you hear that song, you think of that scene in that movie...

"In Your Eyes" ... John Cusack with the boom box in Say Anything

"Tiny Dancer" the scene on the bus in Almost Famous

I always hear "Moon River" in Audrey Hepburn's voice in Breakfast at Tiffany's no matter who's singing it.

Fur Elise, Beethoven - Somewhere in Time (the ultimate love story)

After I saw the movie, I taught myself how to play it on the piano! I used to sit for hours at a time playing it. :)
Latest fav:
Life will go on, by Chris Isaak - (forget the name of the movie)

Ooh ooh! Me! Choose me!

Resorvoir Dogs - Stealer's Wheel -"Stuck in the middle with you"

To quote Tarantino in an interview: "I don't think that Gerry Rafferty neccessarily appreciated the connotations that i brought to, stuck in the middle with you (laughing) there's a good chance he didn't..."

Whatever that song is from Requiem for a Dream



Definitely my first thought.

Also the whole soundtrack to ANY Paul Thomas Anderson movie, particularly the "Give Up" scene in Magnolia.

And the classical piece (I think it's Adagio For Strings by Samuel Barber) in Platoon.

And, I really hate to admit this, but the soundtrack to Titanic. :|

Jaws - perhaps the most famous movie song ever.



Funny thing, I can hum it... I usually get chills down my back just watching the movie when that music is on.

OH SHUT THE FUCK UP! I'm fucking deaf, but not totally deaf! There IS a difference! :D:D:D:D

What the hell, I enjoyed The Blues Brothers' music in the movie. That's one of the best musical/action movies ever made, IMO... "Stand by your man....", "You, you, you..." not to mention a whole treasure trove of one-liners and cracks... :D
