I can’t hear the song Brazil without thinking about the movie Brazil. It made the recent Visa commercial that used it seem even more surreal and sinister.
Kindly hand in your headbanger’s card at reception: “Ace Of Spades” is by Motorhead.

I haven’t seen Zodiac but, for me, Donovan’s “Hurdy Gurdy Man” always did seem to have an at least slightly sinister edge to it.
Anyway, since we’re talking about the use of Donovan songs in movies, I’ll always associate “Atlantis” with the scene where Billy Bats gets whacked in Goodfellas (warning: language and violence NSFW). “Season of the Witch” was also used quite nicely at the end of To Die For.
Oh hell yes! I heard Tubular Bells at high noon while driving in my car and it scared the shit out of me.
The Superhero would like me to add that he can’t hear more than two notes of “I’ve got a brand new pair of roller skates” by Melanie Safka without thinking of Heather Graham nekkid.

He used to crack up every time the commercial for the shoe store came on that used the same music a year or so ago.
Me too. I guess that scene had more “dramatic impact” than we realized, eh?
“In the Hall of the Mountain King” will forever be creepy to me because of the whistling in M.
I’m not the only one!?
I can’t hear “Stuck in the Middle With You” without reliving the ear-cutting scene in “Reservoir Dogs”.
The Hallelujah Chorus has been ruined in a big way for me by Neon Genesis Evangelion. :eek:
Funny. I had exactly the converse experience.
Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin” will forever be associated in my mind with the Theron/Ricci love scene from Monster.
Not necessarily a bad thing, mind you.

That’s interesting because I think most people now associate it with the last episode of “The Sopranos” when Tony, Carmelo, and A.J. are in the diner eating onion rings and
I’m singin’ in the rain, just singin’ in the rain…
(Notes that there is an ad or parody, not sure which, of Roddy McDowell as Alec, with the caption, “Got Milk?” :eek: )
Ugh! :smack: (Walks away to begin the shame spiral)
And? What happened after that? Well? WELL?

“My Hero” by Foo Fighters will always bring to my mind slow-motion high school football, a la Varsity Blues
