...or one you can't get out of you're head.
The scene in the big Lebowski set to the Bob Dylan song seems to come straight to mind. On my phone or I would provide a link.
Definitely a good one and great to hear Kenny Rogers singing anything other than "The Gambler".
thanks I was going to go with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrMRks07XyY
Yes, my favorite too from "Der Himmel über Berlin". I've got the whole soundtrack and it's amazing. I remember when I first saw the movie (the wall was still up) I felt depressed and hopefull at the same time and getting out of the film theatre I stepped into a huge street fight with drunken people and cops. It was like stepping from one movie into another.
we should be friends we both like Nick Cave and Kleinbloo hates us. :D
Well, I would rather be friends based solely on common interests and enjoyment. For the record, once I've spoken my mind on a topic I consider the matter closed for the most part on my end. KleinBl00 can be very assertive and aggressive and so can I, but that doesn't define him (and I hope not me as well). He posted recently about an interesting problem he was having that sort of piqued my curiosity (an OSX command line question at the very moment I was getting acquainted with the command line myself). I chipped away at it a little and he was really gracious and sincere about the meager help I could provide (cause I pretty much suck at that stuff). I consider that interaction just as defining as any other (even mundane ones), believe it or not, and that goes for everybody. If you live in Chicago I'd def meet you for drink at Delilah's http://www.delilahschicago.com after the show. Decent whiskey selection, and they usually have an afterparty for his shows where they spin records on topic.
I definitely did not say that we hate him. :D I still can't figure out how I offended him. If I ever come through chicago I will take you up on that.
I'll pick this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubpRcZNJAnE since my real favorite is too much of a spoiler...
J.S. Bach's "Ich ruf zu dir" (Bwv 639) from the beautiful 1972 russian movie Solaris by Andrei Tarkovsky has haunted me my whole life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlD-9uwHA40
The best music sequence I've ever seen was used in a class project back when I was in high school. We had the option of using any sort of media, and one of my classmates decided to do a documentary on the Holocaust. He did a good job. As the film approached the end, it cut to old B&W footage from the camps as Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" faded in. The song unfolded as just the most awful scenes played out and reached a climax. That juxtaposition and the dripping sarcasm of it all just laid so bare mankind's two extremes. Fucking powerful.
Not a movie, but the climax episode 4 of FLCL (and climax of episodes 5 and 6). I love that homerun swing scene! (I set the bookmark earlier for context, the music doesn't get full swing until 19:15) The Pillows music, Gainax animation, and that scene just give me goosebumps.
Django Unchanged played on what music I was expecting when very well. Less recently, though -- the section of Requiem for a Dream with Clint Mansell's epic composition in it stands out immediately. Here's the song, unfortunately not with the actual clip because I couldn't find it. ...just listened to the piece, reminded all over again what a powerful movie that was. My god.
One I can't get out of my head: When in the sleeper sci-fi movie "Monsters" (2010, dir. Gareth Edwards), the characters montage their way through a party in the streets of Mexico to the sound of "El Cascabel", the representative song from Mexico on the Voyager Space Probe's Golden Record. Such a nerdy but awesome drop - I think it's the only use of non-score musical soundtrack in the film. Related links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record

Morvern Callar (2002, dir. Lynne Ramsay) is an adaptation of the novel of the same name, written by Alan Warner. The story is about a woman who returns home from work one night before Christmas to find that her boyfriend, a writer, has killed himself and left her a bunch of gifts - a gold lighter, a leather jacket, a Walkman, some mixtapes, and his finished novel. The use of the mixtapes really plays with the idea of diegetic sound in several scenes, and the deceased in the story had impeccable taste - almost obnoxiously so, in the way that boyfriends can be.

WARNING: Possibly NSFW - at work and didn't watch all the way through, but it's a party scene and it does get racy.**

Apex of the art form, in my opinion: Season 4 finale, *The West Wing* A full, unedited Massive Attack track that manages to crescendo five different storylines into one amazing cliffhanger. When that aired my jaw just dropped.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW that I just got here. And I've been thinking about and looking forward to this bit for a month. And it's 3 am and I've got work soon and my heart can't stop beating because that was incredible. Leo McGarry doesn't run, he's Leo fucking McGarry. But Leo McGarry at a full sprint toward the residence. Massive Attack. Black credits on a white background for the first time in four seasons. Charlie sitting outside. X. Cliffhanger.
Now you have something to look forward to. Season 1 left me cold. Season 2 was okay. In my opinion they really started to fly in seasons 4 and 5 but by the time they got to season six if you missed an episode you were fucked. one of these days I oughtta go back and plug through them all. As it is I've got The Wire sitting on my server glaring at me and over half of Experiments:Lain left... and I dig the shit out of Experiments:Lain.
Ditto on Weeds. I think I got to about halfway through s2 and then maybe they moved out of the suburbs or something which was the entire fucking point of the show so I stopped watching. As far as s1 goes I have trouble caring about the female political adviser they bring in from the enemy camp. Also the president's daughter and her SS sidekick. No interest in those plotlines.
