Winston Legthigh Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Monkey Man-GoodfellasThere are so many great examples from Goodfellas: He's Sure the Boy I Love to Atlantis: My favorite is the May 11, 1980 cocaine-frenzy montage (I couldn't find a good copy on youtube) that goes between Jump into the Fire, to Memo from Turner, to Magic Bus, to Monkey Man, to What is Life, to Mannish Boy back to Jump into the Fire.

Sir Stewart Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yeah from Tony Bennett's Rags To Riches to Sid Vicious's My Way, GoodFellas is flawless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hard to choose just one from Rushmore. https://youtu.be/xrtlStki1aE A lot of people talk about the Arcade Fire scene at the end of 6 Feet Under, but I prefer the All Apologies funeral scene: https://youtu.be/SRbR1GP5kts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Smith Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Has no one thought of the Barber of Seville in Bugs Bunny? Or everything in Fantasia. Maybe a little obvious but Tiny Dancer in Almost Famous or Bohemian Rhapsody from Wayne's World. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Passenger Sid Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 "Ecstasy Of Gold", the mesmerizing end scene of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. "Philadelphia Morning", Rocky. "And Then He Kissed Me", Goodfellas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Good call on Dazed, Winston. That's one of my favorite music-in-film moments, too. I remember watching that in the theater and being instantly mesmerized by Linklater's rhythm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Same. I remember being skeptical about the movie, probably because of the poorly conceived marketing, but the movie had me locked with the way the opening was edited. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dagwave Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Lonely Boy" from Boogie Nightshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uri-4O29S0w hell, most of the music in that film {Mama Told me not to Come, fooled Around and Fell in Love) Also, love the music from Magnolia - big fan of PTA and Brion collaborations. Special mention for Beck from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Everybodys Gotta Learn Sometime?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Soylent Green Beethoven's 6th The PastoralThis reminded me of another great use of music: all the horrific scenes in A Clockwork Orange set to Classical pieces such as "Symphony No. 9," "William Tell Overture," and "Pomp and Circumstance," not to mention Gene Kelly's "Singin' in the Rain."

sonicshoulder Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Harry Nilsson-"Jump Into The Fire" from Goodfellas when Henry is cooking dinner, Michael is being reminded to stir the sauce, helicopters are hovering and Henry is coked out of his brain. Excellent stuff.... I've always thought Goodfellas was really well done soundtrack wise Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roadhse ma Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Can't figure out how to copy/paste a video without a link, but from one of my favorite movies, Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid: The scene of Slim Pickens dying while his wife weeps and "Knocking on heaven's Door" plays.... That scene and movie made an impression on me. A few few yrs after it came out. I saw it and bought the soundtrack. Was Dylan actually in the movie Its so long ago. But I seem to recall him in it, or a bit part in an early 70s Western. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I seem to recall him in it, or a bit part in an early 70s Western.Yeah, he had a small, secondary (probably more tertiary, but he does stand out and has some lines) role as Alias (good shot with a knife!) who helps out Billy. He has a few scenes. I love the soundtrack, too. Here's some visuals (along with some text on his involvement with the film) to help spark the neurons:http://mashable.com/2016/03/02/bob-dylan-western/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
