Movie scene that best uses a song/music to accentuate it's purpose
- Thread starter HumbleP1e
- Start date
The token never stops at the end... never does the whole movie and it was Mal's... so was the whole movie a dream?
I could never listen to this song again after watching this scene in Good Morning Vietnam:

The pool house scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High where Jackson Browne’s voice raises an octave and the music to “Somebody's Baby” then stops abruptly right when Mike Damone is, ahem, finished.

Kinda underrated scene, but it frames one of the best stories of all time, so...
Forrest Gump is full of great songs/scenes.
You might want to turn your volume down at the start of the 2nd one.

Story and writing? Not great. Cinematography and music of Donnie Darko, though? Awesome. Love this scene and love Tears for Fears.

Good God, man. You couldn't even be bothered to search for and post it?
Love how it starts before the Paramount title cards even come up.
Saw Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop in a drive-in and badgered the folks until they got the soundtracks.
I admit this is not entirely in line with what OP posted but, changing it up to composers who score films, Terence Blanchard has worked with Spike Lee for 30 years and his work brings a whole other level to those films. I haven't been keeping up with Lee's films the past 15 years, but Blanchard's work scoring Clockers, Bamboozled, and 25th Hour are some of my favorites and elevated those excellent films.
Edit: I just used "films" four times in two sentences . . . and "but" twice.
Clockers:
From Bamboozled's impressive end credits:

Two that come to mind immediately are
and for any boy who grew up in the 80s, this immediately comes to mind
sidenote: while looking for the above I came across this great Gwaresque parody band called Cybertronic Spree. And not only do they have good covers of all of the amazingly 80s songs found in the animated Transformers movies like Dare
But they have other good covers of nerd songs including the Hasselhoff song from the fantastic parody Kung Fury.
and to bring it full circle here’s the original of that song, you can see they really copied quite a few scenes as well

It's brilliant cinematography. The contrast between the happy, optimistic lyrics and the scenes showing on screen is very powerful.

I thought that song is played when she is doing the older sales guy from the mall in the dugout
do they use it in both scenes?
