Every single song in Goodfellas is perfect for each scene, but I really like "Mannish Boy" part performed by Muddy Waters.
The frenetic scene changes pace when this slower paced blues dirge blasts out, giving you the feeling of how the drug taken is affecting the main character.

Agree completely. Every song in that movie is very effective in capturing a certain mood for various scenes where no dialogue is spoken. My favorite music scene in that movie is when they play George Harrison's song "What is life without your love"? or whatever it's called as Ray Liotta is starting to go off the deep end from paranoia in his car thinking the narcs are following him in helicopters and shit.

Other favorites:

Midnight Cowboy - that sad instrumental song at the very beginning (not "Everybody's Talkin", the other one, don't know what it's called) as Joe Buck arrives in the Big Apple.

Midnight Express - very good synth/electronic ambience music throughout the whole movie by Giorgio Moroder, but especially when the main protagonist gets busted at the airport at the beginning of the movie.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - chilling instrumental soundtrack throughout by Ennio Morricone, the master.

I still get pumped up when I hear the instrumental "Going the Distance" from Rocky I. It's not the main theme but the music when Rocky and Apollo are dukeing it out in the ring in the middle rounds.

I like the scene in 'School of Rock' when Jack Black and the kids listen to Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" in the van. That song rocks.

And I admit, I like the scene in 'She's All That' when Rachel Leigh Cook walks down the stairs after getting all dolled up and "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer is playing. God, did I really just admit that?

Speaking of Goodfellas, I love the Copacabana scene, when Ray Liotta leads Lorraine Brasco through the back way into the Copa, and the song, "Then He Kissed Me" by the Crystals is playing. That Scorcese, he's good with the tunes. There's another cool scene later, when Robert DeNiro is at the bar, and he is looking tough, smoking a cigarette. Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love" is playing.

I had to mention also Harold and Maude, one of my all-time favorite flicks. Superb soundtrack by Cat Stevens consisting mostly of acoustic folk-rock songs.

 

[Berlin]

Platoon (when alias gets killed)

"Adagio for Strings"

I second that. It was some powerful moment.


'In Dreams' - Roy Orbison

- In 'Blue Velvet' when Psycho Frank (Dennis Hopper)was beating the hell out of goody two shoes Jeffery ( Kyle MacLachlan), while a wig wearing white trash " hooker" dancing mindlessly on the hood of a car in the background. It was just surreal.


'Relax' - Frankie goes to Hollywood

- in ' Body Double ' when Jake was acting out a porn scene with Holly Body ( the then pretty and attractive Melanie Griffith ) Needless to say, when Jake was supposed to pull out and do the money shot, he just , as the song goes,
CAME in her tunnel. The singer had a cameo in that very scene as well. Totally BBFSCIP ... LOL

 

[shack]

I loved when they played The Weight in Easy Rider.

 

[t_dot]

the scene at the end of 'heat' when al is chasing bobby through the airport, and that moby instermental is playing. i thought that was a cool ending. al holding bobby's hand as he dies.

 

[tillithurts]

The soundtracks from 'A Clockwork Orange' & 'Reservouir Dogs'

 

[langeweile]

A few come to mind:

1) "The End" by the Doors in the movie "Apocalypse Now"
The whole scene when Marlon Brnado get's killed, at the same time they show a sacred cow being slaughtered.

2) "Feuer frei" by Rammstein in the movie " XXX" one of the spy's get's shot at a concert.

3) "Also sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss in the Movie "Space Odyssey 2001"

4) "Once Upon a Time in the West" by Ennio Morricone.
Sergio Leone actually changed the original script to match the soundtrack.

BTW I liked most soundtracks by Ennio Morricone

 

[homonger]

If we are talking soundtracks and scores, then two of my favorites are Elmer Bernstein's 'The Magnificent Seven', and Bernard Hermann's 'Psycho'.

 

[Spode]

And I admit, I like the scene in 'She's All That' when Rachel Leigh Cook walks down the stairs after getting all dolled up and "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer is playing. God, did I really just admit that?

Ok I'm not a 14 year old girl or anything, but that seen has to be one of my all time favorites.

One more popular one. Pulp Fiction with Marcellas and Butch in M's bar with Al Green lets stay together

 

[Warm Hands]

Aretha Franklin, "Respect", in the diner scene of the Blues Brothers. Hell, the entire movie is a classic for musical performance.

[t8rs]

Top Gun - especially the opening scene with "Danger Zone"; "Take My Breath Away", "You've Lost That Loving Feeling".


Grease - "Summer Nights", "You're the One That I Want".
What?

 

[homonger]

Grease - "Summer Nights", "You're the One That I Want".
What?

Don't worry, t8rs, I like the "Summer Nights" scene too. One of the best musical numbers ever.

2 of my faves

the opening of "Back To The Future"...M J Fox striking the guitar.

Zabriskie's Point with "Be Careful With That Axe, Eugene"

 

[Tugger]

Aretha Franklin, "Respect", in the diner scene of the Blues Brothers. Hell, the entire movie is a classic for musical performance.

WH

It wasn't Respect that she was singing...It was "Think".

I love the part when she sings Freedom, and Jake and Elwood dance a long with their hands.

Now I have that song in my head...Thanks.
