Songs that make you think of a certain scene in a movie (1 Viewer)

[Jordan_E]

I can't listen to the end of Layla without thinking of the scene in Goodfellas. And Fortunate Son without thinking of Forrest Gump.

 

[John_Lee]

Nancy Sinatra - Bang, Bang - the B&W open of Kill Bill I.
Also, Battle Without Honor or Humanity - O'Ren and crew on the stroll.


And on the Ray Charles kick - Shake a Tailfeather and Blues Brothers, perhaps the most fun 5 minutes of film EVER!!

 

[Greg Layton]

My Top 5:

1. Casablanca - As Time Goes By
2. Donnie Darko - Mad World
3. Say Anything - In Your Eyes
4. Rocky - Gonna Fly Now
5. The Cable Guy - Don't You Want Somebody to Love

Favorite music-related quote in a movie:

97X, bam! The future of rock 'n' roll. - Rain Man

 

[Colin Jacobson]

Since that was written for the movie - I think? - it wouldn't count in this thread. That'd be like saying the "Star Wars Theme" makes you think of Star Wars...

 

[Patrick McCart]

"Stuck in the Middle with You" from Reservior Dogs:

[Nate Anderson]

"Dream a Little Dream of Me," "It's Getting Better," and "Make Your Own Kind of Music" by Mama Cass all remind me of the film Beautiful Thing

 

[Joe D]

A few that haven't been mentioned.

"The End" by The Doors - Apocalypse Now

"Gimme Shelter" by The Rolling Stones - Casino

"Driver's Seat" by Sniff 'N Tears - Boogie Nights

 

[MatthewLouwrens]

I stand corrected. I don't know what I was thinking - quoting the line the backup singers sing rather than the actual song title. I stand corrected, and will fix my post.

 

[ThomasC]

The best non-classical radio station I know of, and is sadly internet-only now.

 

[Jeff Gatie]

The song I remember most from "The Graduate" is not S&G's "Sounds of Silence", but "Mrs. Robinson". "Sounds of Silence" was on the soundtrack, but "Mrs. Robinson" was the song they kept repeating and it is sometimes even subtitled "The Theme From The Graduate". Are the people who said "Sounds of Silence" sure they are thinking of the correct song?

 

[LanieParker]

Goodness I can't believe no one has mentioned Bohemian Rhapsody and Waynes World! I always think of that scene with them in the car when I hear that song.

Benny and the Jetts during that scene in Sliding Doors when Helen walks in on her boyfriend and Lydia having sex

Venus As A Boy by Bjork always makes me think of the movie Leon. No scene in particular, just the movie itself.

The Shins and Garden State...those two just go hand in hand.


and this isn't a movie, but whenever I hear I shall believe by Sheryl Crow I see Max and Liz dancing in the end of the Future Max episode on ROSELL.

 

[Nate Anderson]

BAH! Of course! How could I forget that one?

 

[Joel Stein]

I now always associate Stevie Wonder's "Living For The City" with the crack house sequence in Jungle Fever.

 

[Aaron Thorne]

You Could Be Mine by Guns N' Roses from Terminator 2...Ahnuld was even in the video.

The Billy Squier tune from Billy Madison when he pulls up at the high school. Can't remember the name of the song.

People Are Strange from The Lost Boys. If I remember correctly it was a remake and not the original Doors' song.

Oh, and lets not leave out Sweet Home Alabama from Sweet Home Alabama ....or you could go Forrest Gump for that one I suppose.

 

[Jeff Gatie]

Remake by Echo and The Bunnymen.

 

[Nate Anderson]

Actually, I'm always reminded of Con Air when I hear "Sweet Home Alabama." Go figure.

"Define irony: a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash."

 

[questrider]

"Oh Yeah" by Yello - Ferris Bueller's Day Off

"There She Goes" by the Boo Radleys - So I Married an Axe Murderer

"Requiem for Soprano, Mezzo Soprano, Two Mixed Choirs & Orchestra" and "Gayane Ballet Suite" - 2001: A Space Odyssey

 

[Jeremy_Watson]

I definitely agree with "Stuck in the Middle" and "Behemian Rhapsody." The other one I really think of is "Where Is My MInd" by the Pixies played at the end of Fight Club. I'm sure more will come to me in the next day or two.

 

[Nick C.]

Definitely the first one I thought of. Also in The Breakfast Club there's the Simple Minds' Don't You Forget About Me.

Cheating a bit, but trailers, commercials, and re-used in other movies have been the omnipresent themes to Requiem for a Dream and In the Mood for Love, to a lesser degree
