How do you categorize this one. The Pretenders song from The Living Daylights. Not the love song over the end credits but the rocker(can't remember title). It is on the soundtrack but in the movie you only hear it on the transistor radio of the villian disguised as a mailman. Also Barry used the melody of the song during action scenes like the fight on the cargo plane toward the climax. Is the song in the movie? If a song is only during the credits, but the melody of the song is used as incidental music, is the song in the movie proper?

I think Wes Anderson films allways have music that goes great in the films. My favorite would be Cat Stevens "The Wind" in Rushmore.

Watched "The Life Aquatic" last night. The Bowie songs really helped make the movie great.

The entire soundtrack to the movies: The Final Conflict: Omen III, and Basic Instinct. Both films were composed, conducted by: the late Jerry Goldsmith. These were the only two soundtracks that I ever purchase in my life. Generally, I don't purchase soundtracks, but since, I like these two particular scores in the movie, I made an exception.

I'm surprised I forgot to mention that initially, because I love that sequence as well.

The entire Garden State and Cruel Intentions soundtracks, as used in the movie (and as they stand on their own aside from the movie).

Forget the song name but, the music played in Goodfellas when the camera is zooming in on Deniro as he sits in the bar.

Lick the Tins singing Elvis' "Falling in Love" (Irish/folk) at the end of Some Kind of Wonderfull.

Sounds much better on the end of the film than on the soundtrack, which I only got just for this song. So I'll chuck the DVD in just to listen to the song.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned the awesome music cues in American Beauty, especially All Right Now (after Buddy dumps the wife)...

Also agree with Kenny Loggins... "I'm allright" from Caddyshack and "Danger Zone" from Top Gun.

I was watching "Team America" for the first time last night and loved the first 2 songs I heard. The "America, Fuck Yeah" and that Freedom country song. Funny stuff.

The performance of "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" in front of everyone towards the end of O Brother, Where Art Thou? - gives me warm fuzzies everytime.

not as artsy as most previous, but I really dug it in Blade II when Blade is "reborn" from the vat of blood, the guards come charging in, and Crystal Method's Name of the Game starts pumping

I was also very impressed with the operatic montage in The Fifth Element the way it was edited with the fight...good stuff
