Top music moments in film history

[cinephile2000]

This topic came to be through a discussion with some friends on which movie used the song shout better Wedding Crashers or Animal House. I just want to find out what movies you guys think use songs to their fullest.

[thomasgaffney]

I voted Animal House. Classic movie with an awesome use of Shout.

[wharto]

I voted for the top one not knowing what the fuck people were talking about.

[cinephile2000]

The song Shout from either movie. Also people can post their fav song moments from any movie. I love nearly every Quentin movie because he uses music so effectivly. The ear scene in Reservoir just gives me the heeby jeebies

[wharto]

Don't know the song shout sorry.
But I do like A Town Called Malice by The Jam in Billy Elliot.

[thomasgaffney]

Don't know the song shout sorry.

That's because in England it's spelled Shoutujkglsjfkflhsdlkfhsdkjfhsdjkfhskd.

The scene in Wedding Crashers was Fucking Shit if you ask me.

It just didn't work at all and just looked like they were trying to be funny but weren't. I dunno, I just couldn't work out why that scene just built up so much hate in me, couldn't put my finger on it.

It just seemed so deliberate to me. Vince Vaughn especially was unfunny and coupled with the fact that it looked like he knew he wasn't funny but was trying real hard, just made me hate it even more. Him singing with cake in his mouth (or it could be him inspired by Thomas with something similar in hsi mouth, and I don't mean yogurt), I dunno, something just made me think he was just a Fucking Wanker.

As for that stupid shit scene where the repeated shots of women falling onto the bed in perfect time to the music, oh man I could be here all night 'shout'ing about how I hated that bit too. It was the worst thing in the sequence. Gratuoutos (how DO you spell that word?) and a complete insult not just to women, but to every male in the audience, as if to say, 'Oh yeah, just crash weddings and you can get these birds just like that.' OH FUCK OFF!!!!

FUCK OFF sums up my whole feelings (yes there are more reason for the hate) about that particular bit and the entire montage.

Rest of the movie was overhyped and overrated shite with nothing more than the lovely Rachel McCadams and her cute 'n' sweet dimply smile (tm) and her curly red hair, to make it half worthwhile at all.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck! TO think I only came to this thread so I could vote Atomic Kitten's 4 second use of their single 'See Ya!' in Bring It On's shower scene as the best use of music in a video (deep breath) EVEEEEEEEEEEERRR!!!!!!

Now, thanks to this thread, I just wanna kill someone.

[cinephile2000]

I told my friends to not even bring up the Wedding Crashers sequence against the Animal House one but they were sure that Animal lost.

Shoutujkglsjfkflhsdlkfhsdkjfhsdjkfhskd why didn't someone say, it had to be dumbed down for you lot again didn't it??
Didn't you learn anything when we tried to civilise you lot?

[cinephile2000]

Sorrey Captain Kirk for ruining your night.

[thomasgaffney]

Yes. We learned to spell civilize without an 's'.....

[wharto]

You see therein lies the quintessential difference between is civiliZed British and you philistine septic's.
That is why you all look like Dumper Trucks, your literacy laziness is reflected in your attitude to physical exercise.

[Cpt Kirks 2pay]

You're probably all wacking off over Paris Hilton just 'cos you know Bush is spying on you right now and can see this.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

It's called efficiency. Why waste a letter like U (colour, flavour) when you don't need it?

[thomasgaffney]

You're probably all wacking off over Paris Hilton

Yeah. What's your point?

[wharto]

Also they have a man who lists his favourite childhood book as The Lazy Caterpillar.
Which was released some years after he had left college.
Way to go Georgie!

IPAMPILASH!!

[wharto]

What does ipampilash mean?

[thomasgaffney]

What does ipampilash mean?

I Piss A My Pants I Laugh A So Hard

[wharto]

Efficiency is just laziness spelled differently for the so called US intellectuals, like Dick Cheney and Rob Schneider.

[Cpt Kirks 2pay]

My point ish, ish that you're a lying member, of a no good rashe.

Don't dish the English and Shcottish Marn. We gave you guysh Atomic Kitten.

[wharto]

Is that a Dino phrase?

[thomasgaffney]

You got it...

[wharto]

I have to say that tonight is the first time I have posted properly on this site, and I have enjoyed it, but you Americans sure are dumb.

They can't drink for shit either, nothing like the English.

Based on the evidence of Thomasgaffney, the only thing they cna drink is Spunk. There, I finally said it.

Now that this sexual literal foreplay is over, I have nothing to be excited about. Go Thomas, I've had my use of you, time for a stick now.

[wharto]

I am indeed, but since my girlfriend left me it's either that or carry on fucking her.
As Woody Allen once said masturbation is sex with someone you love.

[cinephile2000]

Wharto I think you will make a nice addition to the Zone it is good to have you.

[wharto]

Thank you very much Cinephile your sentiments are very much appreciated.

[cinephile2000]

My pleasure, I have to say that my favorite movie moment with music is Think in The Blues Brothers. I love me some Aretha Franklin. Funny thing about that scene. It took her hours to record that in studio because she changes it everytime she performs it. Her voice never matched her lips exactly.

[wharto]

I am not a fan of The Blues Brothers and I don't know why it has all the things that I usually like.

[cinephile2000]

The second one was shit but I love the first one.

[wharto]

We all do.

Capt. Kirk I think you should rename yourself, Sean Connery and have all your posts be in character from now on.

[wharto]

It is so good to hear that, I had to watch that fucker on a ten hour flight to fucking cuba last year some new pile of shit that he was in.
I cried.

Dear You,

For the sake of the human race, put a bullet in your brain before someone does it for you.

I will stand by this until the day I die, Animal House is one of the most overrated movies of all time. It might have been groundbreaking at the time, but it has not aged well.

That being said, the song was essentially made by that movie, where it's an entirely forgettable part of Wedding Crashers.

But John was amazing.

[Keepcoolbutcare]

not sure if this has been done already, apology made to whoever it pleases...**

Holla Bullz-eye

for the lazy, the guidelines are as follows...The song couldn’t have been written specifically for the film or have made its debut on the film’s soundtrack.

for the slothful, Scott @ stereogum has a list of the 40 chosen.

something like this is bound to be uber-subjective, but I shit on that list. And then piss on the shitlist. And then fart on the shitlistpiss.

10 Things I Hate About You gets 2 fucking noms? Look, I've seen that movie (owing to an ex-ex having an affinity for tweeny-bopper High School frivolity films), it's not bad and all (based on the Bard, I believe), but that's inexcuseable.

or maybe I'm just bitter that my favorite music-drop ever* didn't make the cut. Yes, that was "You may tell jokes, Mr. Jerry Seinfeld, but you are no comedian" Elina Löwensohn dorkily dancing to Sonic Youth in Hal Hartley's Simple Men.

I'll only list 4 more, but my ocd is gettin' Twitch, 'prolly chime in with more later.

"So Happy Together" Adaptation.
"Making Time" Rushmore.
"California Dreaming" Chungking Express
"Saturday Night" King of New York

*GooTube, eh?

**the longer I spend typing this, the more I have this nagging feeling of Zoner-Vu. But hey, we can talk about that list, no?

[mistertim]

Two obvious ones, but

Roy Orbison - In Dreams in Blue Velvet
The Gypsy Kings - Hotel California in the Big Lebowski.

Hearty +1s to your Rushmore and Adaptation nominations too...

[Keepcoolbutcare]

Hearty +1s to your Rushmore and Adaptation nominations too...

8)

man, how can Scorsese only make that list once, and 2, count 'em, 2 tracks from 10 Things I Hate About You?

[mistertim]

it's a shit list, by all accounts, really. mediocre songs used in mediocre movies, bar a couple of exceptions.

Another one that comes to mind (whatever your opinion of the film) is
The Thirteenth Floor Elevators - You're Gonna Miss Me at the beginning of High Fidelity.

[The Vicar]

Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime - Beck cover of a Korgi's song in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

[Keepcoolbutcare]

what, no "Dry the Rain"?



good call.

you know who didn't even make the list?

Kubrick.

"Boots are Made For Walking." Full Metal Jacket.

[mistertim]

what, no "Dry the Rain"?

true! or for that matter, Walking on Sunshine, Seymour Stein, Lets Get it On, or I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More, Babe.

In fact, the entire soundtrack to that film is appalingly well judged.

[Al Shut]

Kubrick.

"Boots are Made For Walking." Full Metal Jacket.

Hell yeah


I always loved the way Rammsteins Heirate mich is used in Lost Highway. Just having the intro spoken using the first to beats as sound effects and skip the song, pure crazy.

[Fried Gold]

Sigur Ros' Starálfur played over the submarine shark encounter in The Life Aquatic. (but then Wes Anderson films are full of em)

[TonyWilson]

Another Kubrick one is We'll Meet Again at the end of Dr Strangelove. The perfect song for a pitch black comedy.

The Tommygun/Dann Boy sequence in Miller's Crossing is another classic.


Cool thread KCBC, although I have a feeling we've done this before too. Nevermind.

[ThisIsTheGirl]

I heard they bombarded Lynch with tapes for years and years asking him to use their stuff in one of his movies, then when he was making LH he was listening to one of the tapes and shouted "Oh, this is PERFECT!"
