Socerer and Tangerine Dream

The 1977 Movie Sorcerer (a remake of Wages of Fear) by William Freidkin (of The Exorcist) had Tangerine Dream do the soundtrack. There was a scene where Roy Schieder and his compadres were driving these really old trucks carrying really old unstable dynamite on a desolated, very rocky unpaved mountain road some where down in the Jungles of South America. (Actually it was filmed in Angel Peak National Recreation Area, Bloomfield, New Mexico) It was the Monsoon season and it looked like it was a rainy day on the moon. That is the only way I can describe it but you would have to see it to get the full impact. Imagine seeing this on the big screen and Tangerine Dream blasting out the of the theater speakers in stereo sound. The pulse pounding back beat and the howling synthesizers made chills run up and down my spine, because you knew that at any moment one of the trucks would hit a bump and the nitro glycerine seeping out of the dynamite would blow them to smithereens.

Philadelphia's End.

Neil Young plays and sings:

One is ride a agreable carpet, It could let you to Hell;

Titanic!!! hahaha nah anyway I loved this particular scene from the movie Platoon when they're all getting high and listening to this motown song called "Tracks of My Tears" by Smokey Robinson, it was a feel good moment for me as well as the cast I guess (the actors really did get high haha!).

condemnation without investigation is the height of IGNORANCE

Although the movie was widely panned, Danny Elfman's Main Titles music during the opening credits of Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes had me hooked right away.

Similarly, when Pulp Fiction kicks in with Dick Dale and His Del-Tones - Misirlou during the opening credits, I was mesmerized.

Never been a big Beatles fan, but yeah, that was pretty cool.

How about Judy Garland singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in The Wizard of Oz? That was pretty memorable.

Soundtrack Backdraft

Music is a very big determining factor for me liking a movie or not. The music in Backdraft (Hans Zimmer) is fantastic and moves me to tears. The music throughout the movie is spot on. I used to work in a little movie theater and I would always turn up the sound at the last scenes of the movie and stand there with tears in my eyes:-)
When it comes to a certain song, than I guess The Show Goes On from Bruce Hornsby is perfect for the particular scene in the movie. Someone made a compilation of scenes of the movie with this song: Backdraft Compilation
You should however see the moment in the movie when this song is played..wonderful.
If you haven't seen this movie, check it out. you won't regret it.

*You get what you give*

the sounds of silence in the graduate.it's used throughout the movie and really comments on the scenes.originally paul simon was commissoned to write all new songs. they used the previously released ones until he wrote new ones,didn't happen so they left them in there.

Wow, absolutely awesome example! I had completely forgotten about that!

Didn't come here expecting to add to the thread, but feel obligated to. Therefore...

I'll go with Dazed and Confused from The Song Remains the Same. I could actually pick any number of songs from that film, but that one in particular seems to be the highlight, and is not just a concert sequence (though Jimmy Page playing guitar with a bow is certainly memorable!).

i like the segment in american graffitti where paul lemat and mackenzie phillips are riding in his car and the beach boys song comes on.almost a generation gap there where he hates it and she loves it.a harbinger of things to come? i think so.very good scene.

I like a lot the two Harry Nilsson's songs in 'Midnight Cowboy'. This film is like the second part of 'The Graduate' for me.

Incredible movie. Perfect.

If I have to choose one film with one song in one moment... I choose the last part of Amadeus, while Mozart and Salieri are composing the Requiem.
Wonderful.

I find myself from time to time coming back to Dario Marinelli's score to V For Vendetta: Music From The Motion Picture which also features Julie London singing 'Cry Me a River' and Anthony & The Johnsons - Bird Gurhl.
I liked the movie also.

Usually a movie soundtrack makes more sence if you have actually seen the movie. I've heard some soundtracks without seeing the actual movie, and it doesn't always work. (IMHO)

That scene that oldschool-music mentioned, is on of my favorite movie scenes ever. (Y) I love how that blond guy sings it.

The scene after that one, where Bunny was bitching about them getting high over there, Merle Haggard's "Okie from Muskogee" comes on. It's perfect, because when the line "We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee" plays, Bunny's reply is, "You hear that? That's a bad Jam!" Too funny!

Le Fabuleux Destin D'Amélie Poulain. I only need to hear the music to "relive" the movie. Beautiful, it feels like music that should be handled gently.

Darjeeling Limited.

The whole film has wonderful music, but the introduction of Adrian Brody's character running at the train station to the Kinks 'This Time Tomorrow' is fantastic.
