turbobrando Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Also, Road to Nowhere by the Talking Heads at the end of Little Monsters and the music in That Thing You Do!, especially Dance With Me Tonight where Lenny sings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 First post and this thread seems appropriate to wade into things. Life Aquatic is excellent, but my favorite is Human Traffic, especially the use of Orbital - Belfast. I love Human Traffic. One of my favorites. Itchy Triggah Fingah Niggas!

jerseydave77 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Stuck In the Middle With You from the ear cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs. Music is used perfectly in Res. Dogs. 2001 is probably the best use of music in film of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriss Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Jim Jarmusch uses music brilliantly in his films, for example, the repeating motif of Screaming Jay Hawkins' 'I Put A Spell On You' through Stranger Than Paradise. Also, the Skatalites in the background during a scene in Coffee and Cigarettes. Also, Tom Waits as an overall presence singing to himself all through Down By Law. In terms of soundtracks that work as an entity - Lost In Translation's is absolutely perfect, from the poignancy of the characters parting at the end of the film while JAMC's 'Just Like Honey' echoes in the background to the scene where Bill Murray is crooning Elvis Costello's 'What's So Great About..." in the karaoke scene. Every scene in that film is absolutely perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
