You know anything by Lion is GOLD! Nice horror movie montage BTW.

"Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak in Wild at Heart

G'n'R "You Could Be Mine" on T2: Judgment Day.

I'm talking about when a young John Conner and Bobby Budnick a la "Salute Your Shorts" are riding around on a moped.

There's a very wide shot, and in way off in the distance you can see the bike whizz from one side of the screen to the other and all you hear is:

"Yaaaaaiiiiiayeyieyieyieyie" and slash wankery going from left to right in the background. I find it hilarious.

"The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News in Back to the Future

also,

"Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves in American Psycho

it was "heart of the sunrise" and i think it was a brilliant choice.

STF wrote:The first few scenes of Repo Man are perfectly paced and the music works great in them. From the Iggy Pop theme song to the Cricle Jerks song when Otto meets up with Duke, then "Institutionalized" when Otto gets a beer from the refrigerator to "TV Party" playing in the background when Otto finds Duke fucking his girlfriend. When Otto is all pissed off and drunk and alone he sings some lines from "TV Party." It's all so good.

Words out of my mouth.

How about all of 2001: A Space Odyssey...

Also, George Crumb, Mike Oldfield and Penderecki in the Exorcist.

best quote ever from Exorcist wikipedia entry:
"Lalo Schifrin was hired to write music for the film but his score was rejected, and a frustrated Friedkin reportedly threw the reels out into the street, dubbing the score "fucking Mexican marimba music" and deeming the parking lot the best place for such music."

Buffalo 66/Yes is great but also 'I Remember When' by Stan Getz is a nice part.

Maybe the Doors in Apocalypse Now.

I watched Goodfellas for the 476th time little while ago and it struck how detailed and artistically the music was cut into the movie. It really was cut in like an original score. It's amazing how one can take that kind of thing for granted. Was this edited digitally? It was released in '90.

I am now 'Les Paul'. Finally!!

I forgot to mention Burt Bacharach and Hal David's gem "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head" from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Also, Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer" from The Sting.

"Hurdy-Gurdy Man" in Zodiac creeped me out. CREEPY song anyway.

Say what you want, but that faux-Irish band in The Departed, that one song? When it's all crazy? That was pretty good. That song with Boston in it. That's pretty damn good.

"You Got the Touch" in Boogie Nights, too.

"Axel F" in the Beverly Hills Cop trilogy.

The intro song in TV's How It's Made.
