tinnitus photography Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 i guess it took until page 3 for a mention of Mike Oldfield's _Tubular Bells_ and _The Exorcist_, so here it is. Emil Amos (Grails, OM, Holy Sons, etc) has a podcast called Drifter's Sympathy, and he made an excellent point in Episode 10 how that particular piece of music had a lasting impact on horror movies and soundtracks.

Winston Legthigh Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The best part of any thread that asks for submissions as an example of whatever is when someone notes how long it took for their example to be mentioned. Well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well done.is that an adjunct of Godwin's law? i am partial to multiple references to the same example. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Guy Ritchie knows how to use a tune too. Here's Mirwais' Disco Science (great use of the Breeders sample) set to a hare coursing montage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I have to assume that Murray actually owned that swimsuit, and just brought it to set. That was one of the first ones that came to mind. Second was the "Layla" scene in Goodfellas. Third was the Baby Blue scene in Breaking Bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jw harding Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 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 wiseDoesn't he mix Monkey Man and Mannish Boy into that scene, possibly other tunes? The coke paranoia is palpable.

tinnitus photography Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 maybe not the best, but i got a bit of a charge hearing both The Melvins and Sleep in the strip club scene of True Detective (season 1). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chez Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Lots of great choices already mentioned. The scene that stays with me is the scene out of Taxi Driver when Travis is watching an episode of American Bandstand and they show kids slow dancing to Jackson Browne's "Late for the Sky" -- a song that would never, ever have been played on American Bandstand. The look on De Niro's face as he's watching others slow-dancing on television is pretty powerful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chez Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Thanks for posting the Taxi Driver scene, Winston. Just how I remembered it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Thanks for positing the Taxi Driver scene, Winston. Just how I remembered it. The little self-dip that the dude does at the beginning (and his sweater style) is great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 maybe not the best, but i got a bit of a charge hearing both The Melvins and Sleep in the strip club scene of True Detective (season 1).I had a similar reaction to that show's use of Grinderman's "Honey Bee (Let's Fly to Mars)" during the closing credits of the episode where Russ escaped the housing project in Beaumont, TX.

imsjry Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 First one i can think of is the two leads just sitting there listening to "One too Many Mornings" in the film Silver Linings Playbook. Also, the "Tiny Dancer" scene from Almost Famous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 This little scene from Hard Day's Night is great. Knowing that Ringo was very very hungover for this shoot adds to viewing pleasure. I wonder who was playing the This Boy instrumental? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
