Probably that part at the beginning of Closer which everyone seems to ejaculate over.

how about tv shows?

[eMart]

Bohemian Rhapsody in Wayne's World.

[ThePartialGlow]

The Mozart in Shawshank Redemption and the lady singing in Saving Private Ryan

Oh...and staying with Almost Famous...I love the part where Zooey sits the family down to listen to "America" by Simon & Garfunkel to explain why she's leaving home to become a stewardess.

[wroteurname]

Hands down has to be blink182-Mutt during the scene when Shannon Elizabeth masturbates in American Pie. Mainly because they show the band playing the song in a garage.

[Smash Adams]

obvious ones:
where is my mind in fight club
head over heels and mad world in donnie darko
stuck in the middle in reservoir dogs

Excellent scene.


I just love the score to Rudy , the music throughout the whole movie is great.

[Don't Try]

I'm going to go with George Thorogood and the Destroyer's "Bad to the Bone", when Arnold steps outside the bar after kicking multiple asses in the nude, In Terminator II Judgement Day.

[gloriousmuse]

I absolutely love this scene (and movie)

I'll probably get shit for this but the O.C. had many great music moments especially two uses of Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah, and live peformances by Deathcab and The Killers.

"Dice" from The Countdown was a good one for The O.C. too.

if you watch the movie with commentary on, Wes Anderson says a good deal of the film was built around this scene

[Broken Parachute]

The closing credits of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Why the credits? Well, after that movie was over I think the tone was very ominous. Like...what's next to come? I think "Gollum's Song" by Emiliana Torrini was absolutely perfect. The song was just so haunting. I watched the credits until the song was over the first time I saw it. I still love the song.

[doyouhas?]

no video, but the end scene in Synecdoche, New York with Caden walking through all the warehouses. Its a Jon Brion score called 'OK' and its one of the most powerful things ive ever seen in a movie.

[JHSace923]

I'll probably get shit for this but the O.C. had many great music moments especially two uses of Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah, and live peformances by Deathcab and The Killers.

I'm right there with ya. "Hallelujah" at the end of The Ties That Bind kills me. The use of "In Every Sunflower" and "Champagne Supernova" in The Rainy Day Women are also damn good.

Hate Dane Cook , liked DanIRL. The scene where him and steve carrel play Let My Love Open the door is really good.

Definite yes to all these.
I can't really think of any movies right now, but the season 1 finale of HIMYM has a great musical moment at the end.

YESSS... I felt the exact same way.

:highfive: So did I. I prefer this song to the one for ROTK. It really is haunting.

Came in to say Bohemian Rhapsody/Wayne's World.

I also loved the use of Nice Dream in the season 3 finale.

As for movies, the Bosstones in Clueless.

Let's not forget Ryan Adam's "Wonderwall" cover when Seth and Summer dance after visiting the boneyard(I'm not good with names of episodes like you haha).

I regularly youtube that for kicks every once in a while.

And- the part in Shopgirl that they start playing sunkillmoon.

[popdisaster00]

This thread has been done before, but:

Coldplay's "The Scientist" in Wicker Park. Not that the movie is really that good, but it was a strong scene and the music worked great.

I looked for one, show me.

I have no idea what it was called. It had to have been at least last year. It doesn't matter because new movies have come out since then!

edit: it was actually this thread:

not the same thread, but I made the same post lol

[SwishMX48]

Some personal favorites for me:

Tom Cruise sketching Penelope Cruz in Vanilla Sky with "Solsbury Hill" playing
Michael J. Fox playing "Johnny B. Good" in Back to the Future
John Belushi chugging the Jack Daniels in Animal House

Very random, I know

Agreed on both.

The O.C. had a ton of great music moments. Some of my favorites are when Death Cab and Rooney played shows and when they played "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap like twice in the same episode.

Thats one of my all time favorites along with the scene where she tells him "The Shins will change your life".

[stayillogical]

I'm sitting on a bench in the mall waiting for my sister and Bittersweet Symphony just came on. Cruel Intentions ending was great.

Can't believe I forgot about that.

Not sure if it has the same impact alone, but when watching it in the context of the film it's so intense.

Can't find a video of it, but the opening scene in Billy Elliot, it's Cosmic Dancer by T-Rex. Hell, I love all of the music moments in Billy Elliot.

And also, did anyone post this? Only read 3 pages.

I've only seen 2 episodes of It's Sunny ever and oh dear god, that was hilarious. That Yello song is used in so many 80's movies, it's even funnier when referenced.

Haha, and that wasn't even the funniest part of that episode. Go do your self a favor and watch every single episode of the 4 seasons of that show, hands down it is the funniest show on tv, every season is gold.

[fueledbyerin]

my favorite is "Let The Drummer Kick" at that scene in Accepted where they're all depressec. i don't know why its my favorite- i just love the song and the movie

[eliselovesmusic]

The music in The Breakfast Club is awesome.
"Don't Forget About Me" by Simple Minds is a fantastic song but the Yellow Card cover of it sounded like a dieing cat trying to impersonate Yoko Ono.

In fact Yellow Card just generally suck....

http://www.hulu.com/watch/16775/studio-60-on-the-sunset-strip-k--r-pt-i?c=2163:2461I think Aaron Sorkin makes really good use of music. Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms at the end of season 2 of The West Wing. It shouldn't work after all it's Dire Straits, but it just fits really well.

[fantasma]

Electric Light Orchestra's "Livin' Thing" at the end and in the credits of "Boogie Nights".
Bruce Springsteen's "The Wrestler" in the credits of "The Wrestler".

[gloriousmuse]

This isn't a movie but I just watched my Six Feet Under season 5 DVD and I still get teary eyed with the final scene.

Don't watch it if you haven't seen SFU and want to find out how it ends on your own.
