Major Music Moments in Movies

Due to the overwhelming amount of inappropriateness on this blog, I thought I'd share a list I've been marinating over for the past few months... movies that stick out in my mind as having great music moments, or moments in movies that just make me love a song that much more, or that have actually introduced me to new music. Most are some of my favorite movies (I've excluded Disney on the basis of unfair advantage). Ch-ch-check it out (or don't)!

...hopefully they're not all completely obscure or completely obvious. In no order...

“True Faith” by New Order from American Psycho
-it's the 80s, at a night club and they're doing coke in the bathroom. classic

“Last Goodbye” by Jeff Buckley in Vanilla Sky
-cruise & cruz meet. he gets a new face - yadayadayada, jeff's in a movie. jackpot

“Good Vibrations” by the Beach Boys in Vanilla Sky
-completely changes the way the song sounds, seeing as how it's played either during or soon after a sex/murder scene

“Dry the Rain” by the Beta Band in High Fidelity
- "I will now sell five copies of "The Three EPs" by The Beta Band."

“In The Waiting Line” by Zero 7 in Garden State
-drugs, teenagers, zach braff in slow mo

“Now We Are Free” by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard in Gladiator
-the best finale to a movie. ever.

“Confusion” by New Order (Pump Panel Reconstruction mix) in Blade
-vampires raving in russia with blood coming out of the sprinklers

“Born Slippy” by Underworld in Trainspotting
-ewan mcgregor running. a lot.

“Love Will Tear Us Apart” by Joy Division in Donnie Darko
-omg donnie lost his v-card.

“Anything” by Anyone in Blow
-duh.

“Fake French” by Le Tigre in Prime
-this is a wild card - uma thurman's 30 and dating a 22 year old.
they're both hot and they dance like hot people dance. the end.
