Not to take away from the undeniable awesomeness of the “Jurassic Park” reveal scene, but…this alternate version puts it to shame.
Holy crap, I can’t stop laughing.
+10 pts.
I must look like a complete idiot laughing like a hyena at my work desk!FlyingRat, you win a cookie!
I counter with this.
The Delfonics in "Jackie Brown, actually even played into the plot line.
Phil Collins on the train in “Risky Business”
Guesch Patti singing “Blonde” in “Pillow Book”
Faye Wong’s vocals behind her stunning scenes in “Chungking Express”
Tangerine Dream’s background behind the truck restoration scenes in “Sorcerer”.
Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic” in the touching scene in “Immediate Family”.
Geoff Muldauer’s whistled theme in Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil”.
The Brazil scenes in “A Man and Woman”.
That was used in Reservoir Dogs, actually, but Pulp Fiction has a ton of great musical choices as well. Dick Dale’s “Misirlou” over the opening credits is sheer genius - just so energetic and full of attitude that it tells you exactly what kind of movie you’re about to watch.
Didn’t Zack Braff pick a lot of the music for Scrubs like he did for Garden State and Last Kiss? Because they all seemed to have the same “late 20-something coming of age” vibe captured by his hand-picked turn of the millennium adult alternative indie singer / songwriter soundtrack.
Here’s to Ben!
Agree but I would have picked Jump Into The Fire.
The use of Joplin’s ragtime in The Sting. The music was absolutely wrong for the period (Joplin’s music was popular almost 30 years before the Depression-era setting) but it worked extremely well.
Tangerine Dream in Risky Business.
The Last of the Mohican’s use of “The Gael”.
It was the main theme, but particularly its use in the Ascent/Pursuit sequence was a strange but highly effective choice. It still gives me slight chills when it plays in my head.
I almost asphyxiated myself laughing at this. You win the thread.
I believe a little pee may have escaped the first time somebody played that video for me.
Sia’s 'Breathe Me" used in the finale of Six Feet Under. A perfect marriage of music to images which still brings tears.
The beach scene, “Chariots of Fire”, Vangelis…'nuff said.
The “Ode To Joy” from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony was used extensively throughout the movie Die Hard, but the best usage was in the scene in which the vault finally opens…
