"For optimum dramatic effect.
Rage against machine's Bombtrack in Natural Born Killers"
Soon as I saw this thread I was going to say "shitlist" by L7 in Natural born killers.
The Patti Smith song we cannot name is also well placed throughout the film. |

"Baby driver - the whole movie...
Fantastic show!"
Should add for those who haven't seen it, that it's about a getaway driver who can pull off just about any move with the right track playing...
all action is choreographed against the soundtrack which is also superb!
Worth a watch! |

Without doubt one of the most apt pieces of music for a scene in any film has to be,Inglourious Basterds - Cat People by David Bowie. One hell of a film, the genius of Tarrantino just shines through. |

Whether or not you like his films you cannot say he doesn't know how to put a soundtrack together.

"A bit controversial but Gary Glitter in the Joker "
Was never a fan of glitter, that song worked well but if you had to re do that scene what song would or could replace it? |

Not quite in keeping with the theme of the thread but my goodness I love the musical score from Terminator 2. It's epic
I guess you could be mine playing as John Connor disobeys his foster parents symbolizes his rebellious nature. |

He's good at the old soundtrack game too. Goodfellas has a epic soundtrack with the obligatory use of "gimme shelter"

The Chain in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
Both times, but especially the second time. The scene would not have worked even half as well without that specific track.
James Gunn is extremely talented at working actual songs (not just score) in to the narrative of the movie. |

Agreed. I watched that film last night and the soundtrack is just so good...
I thought the same with the use of Twenty one Pilots Heathens in Suicide Squad. |

"Really like skynards Freebird at the end of Devils Rejects.
Pure perfection. Some good tunes in 31 as well.
Right you are. Was a time i crushed out on Rob Zombies missus.  "
She was good in Halloween. I'm in the minority of people that prefer the zombie versions than the Carpenter.
Doomhead in 31 is my crush lol |

Perfect keeping with the theme. A song is one thing but composing a fully complimentary score is surely a greater achievement |

He really is. For some reason his use of 'then he kissed me' when Henry and Karen go on a date struck a chord with me. |

"Town Called Malice in Billy Eliot when Billy dances off his anger in the streets."

The Hardware soundtrack was pretty good and fitted the visuals.
Especially Ministry-Stigmata. Don't know if Gwar's music was featured but I think I remember them being in it.
Motorhead, Iggy pop and PIL too. |

Here are some TV shows that introduced me to artists I'd never heard of at the time:
Last scene in last episode of Secret Diary Of A Call Girl - Adele, Someone Like You.
Marvel's The Gifted where the character called Twist kills innocent people in a bank robbery - Billie Eilish, Bad Girl.
Netflix's Behind Her Eyes final episode's end credits - Summer Kennedy, Bad Things.

In terms of the "fairy tale" romance then Roberts and Gere were well cast. If you're looking for a realistic hooker role then Theresa Russell in "Whore" was amazing. |
