this was great considering how i was thinking about how the academy awards should add some sort of category to acknowledge "uses of song" as a critical category for film making.

anyhoo...the list looks pretty good to me...what are some snubs you see

[xzxmhatxzx]

CCR should be in here somewhere

[Recovery Room]

My all-time favorite, which should be somewhere on this list, is:

Broken Social Scene's "Shampoo Suicide" in Half Nelson.

[itsmesean0630]

Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds in The Breakfast Club

[Full Effect Ed]

The Cure - "Burn" (From The Crow)
Always been a personal favorite usage of a song in film

[derekmoyer4]

"Running on Empty" Jackson Browne

[WilliamCParke]

I love when 'Where Is My Mind?' by Pixies plays at the end of Fight Club. So good.

I have always been a fan of how 50 First Dates used "wouldn't it be nice" by the beach boys

[Craig Manning]

John Cusack with the boombox in Say Anything.

You could legitimately fill this list with scenes from Cameron Crowe movies. Actually, this guy did.

[SoundwaveUproar]

do not care that it's a kids movie, its perfect

agreed. they use "fortunate son" for every Vietnam movie.
also, "gimme shelter" in every martin scorsese movie.

Lust for Life in Trainspotting is one of my favourite choices.

[PeeDster]

it shouldn't be on the top 50, but i always thought that Mad World was pretty perfect in Donnie Darko.

[Jeremytheturtle]

List is missing Johnny B. Goode from Back To the Future

[MADSTA]

Definitely agree with The Big Lebowski, Trainspotting, Almost Famous, and Wayne's World.
