Did Bullz-Eye hit the mark (har har)? We think they did a bang up job, although we'd probably have Anchorman and "Shout" from Animal House somewhere in the top 5, along with the scenes from Ferris Bueller's and the awesome Almost Famous (which we saw again this weekend -- so fucking good!). What would have been our #1:
Hold me closer, Tony Danza!

The typical disclaimer for lists such as these: I usually don't pay attention to these lists nor do they do the subject(s) any justice (end disclaimer), but I find this particular list to be damn solid. You can always argue about these things until you're blue in the face, but I think everything in the Top 10 is definitely Top 10 material, whether you agree with the finite placement or not. Those are moments that transcend the movie--they are part of pop culture.
Score = 0
I think the list is about as good as it gets for anything that is this subjective but I do have one major quibble - 2 entries from 10 Things I Hate About You and none from Goodfellas? Both the Gimme Shelter and Layla scenes are worthy of being ensconced in the pantheon.
Score = 0
I'm a moron - clearly I should read more closely. But still - 2 for 10 Things I Hate About You? Really?
Score = 0
Layla is #18. I am a golden god.
Score = 0
How about those two brilliant scenes in Blue Velvet? Fuck this list.
Score = 0
pretty good. but three of my favorites i'd add near the top:
'a change is gonna come' sam cooke - malcolm x
'born slippy' underworld - the end of trainspotting
'this woman's work' kate bush - she's having a baby (but this might break the rules)
Score = 0
"Ooh la la" The Faces - Rushmore.
I also think they should've steered clear of using more than one song out of any movie. I like Beautiful Girls, but only Sweet Caroline stands out.
Score = 0
Can anyone listen to American Girl by Tom Petty without feeling slightly queasy??
Score = 0
i would add 'cry to me' in dirty dancing and 'telephone line' in billy madison. and if we're talking about 'afternoon delight', how about the arrested development episode? hilarious.
Score = 0
no free fallin' from jerry maguire? i guess that might be too many cameron crowe films...
other than that, the list is quite solid.
Score = 0
They should have stated their caveat more clearly. I can only assume that, "The song couldn’t have been written specifically for the film or have made its debut on the film’s soundtrack" is in place to allow them to focus only on recent, mostly non-diagetic music (e.g. rock music in films from the listmakers' lifetimes)
And yet...by their rules, Gene Kelly performing "Singin' in the Rain" or the "As Time Goes By" scene in Casablanca or "Rock Around the Clock" at the start of Blackboard Jungle would be eligible, to name just three obvious things off of the top of my head that are a far sighter "greater" than most if not all of the moments on this list.
Score = 0
I'd say anything from Rushmore should have been included. "Oh Yoko," "I Am Waiting," "A Quick one While he's away." Great stuff.
Score = 0
I knew "In Your Eyes" would be very near the top...
"Oh Yeah" from Ferris Bueller should definitely be higher on the list.
Score = 0
Almost Famous is a cinematic orgasm!
Score = 0
I fucking hate that moment in Almost Famous. So schmaltzy and cringeworthy.
Score = 0
What about "Head Over Heels" (Tears For Fears) in Donnie Darko? Or "Jump into the Fire" (Harry Nilsson) from Goodfellas?
Score = 0
How about the end of Rushmore when Ooh La La by the Faces is playing? That is absolutely brilliant, as is the montage scene in the beginning of the film with the song "Making Time" by Creation.
Score = 0
These Days- Nico, Royal Tenenbaums
Score = 0
i agree with Sean but more cause Kate Hudson bugs me alot but also yes it's super hokey and lame
Score = 0
This list is a joke. Scorsese invented rock & roll in film and he doesn't get ONE film in the top 10? Please. No sense of film history or context.
BTW, The Departed is excellent.
Score = 0
Agreed on the Wes Anderson. Best soundtrack selections since Tarantino in his prime. How about "She Smiled Sweetly" by the Rolling Stones in Royal Tenenbaums.
Score = 0
i really like those moments in almost famous and office space.
i think "just like honey" by the jesus and mary chain should have been on there for its use in lost in translation. also maybe simon and garfunkel's "the only living boy in new york" from garden state and aimee mann's "wise up" in magnolia.
i agree with the poster who metioned "ooh la la" by the faces in rushmore.
Score = 0
food for thought:
Not to be lame, but I think there were at least 8 or so moments in Forest Gump that could make this list. Off the top of my head the "fortunate son" moment as they're cruising over veitnam was awesome.
I'll second the donnie darko call; however, also really enjoy the usage of killing moon
Also, raindrops and roses to open fear and loathing in las vegas.
and finally, the shins at least need an honorable mention for their usage in Garden State where N. Portman says they will change z. braff's life
Score = 0
does anyone else think that 'the killing moon' by echo and the bunnymen goes almost freakishly well donnie darko?
and I agree with whoever cited the moment from office space.

Score = 0
I love 10 Things as much as the next guy, but the lack of anything pre-1980 makes this list extremely limited and mostly useless. What about Easy Rider (The Weight especially), The Graduate (Sound of Silence), Midnight Cowboy (Everybody's Talkin'), and Saturday Night Fever).
Score = 0

what about vanilla sky, i can think of 2 from that movie, radiohead at the beginning , jeff buckley after he stays the night at penelope cruz's house, and at the end sigur ros when his life is flashing before his eyes...
or even dead presidents deserves some mention...
Score = 0
No songs from Wes Anderson movies? How about 'Stralfur' by Sigur Ros in Life Aquatic, or as has already been said 'These Days' by Nico.
Then there is my personal favorite movie music moment from Back to the Future. Things are looking bad for Michael J. Fox as he strums along to Earth Angel. As he begins to fade away on stage, suddenly Crispin Glover bursts in to the ballroom and steals a dance with Lea Thompson just as the chorus of Earth Angel begins its crescendo and all is saved in Hill Valley.
Score = 0
better thread like this at Pajiba (http://www.pajiba.com/damn-it-feels-good-to-be-a-gangsta.htm) but where's the Sister Christian love for Night Ranger in Boogie Nights?
Score = 0
I agree with Brian. There's NO reason why "Jumpin' Jack Flash" from Mean Streets shouldn't have been on there...yet there are TWO entries from both Beautiful Girls and 10 Things...? Silly.
Some others:
* "Tracks of My Tears" from Platoon
* The Rushmore mentions + "Me and Julio..." from The Royal * Tenenbaums, "Alone Again Or" from Bottlerocket or maybe even "Search and Destroy" from Life Aquatic.
* "Out of Time" from the opening credits of Coming Home (another Hal Ashby film that deserves mention...and why was the Harold and Maude entry so low?).
There are some good entries here, to be sure...but it just seems pretty cobbled together...not alot of thought given, etc.
Score = 0
i fucking hate that scene.
Score = 0
needle in the hay-royal tennenbaums
Score = 0
No "In Dreams" from Blue Velvet? No "Judy Is a Punk" or "These Days" from Royal Tenenbaums?? No Rushmore??? The "Notorious" Sparkle Motion dance routine in Donnie Darko???? Yeah, this list eats it.
Score = 0
just because it's a great song in a good movie doesn't mean a damn thing... it has to do with the meaning behind the moment.
dammit, indiefucks. dammit.
Score = 0
"As Time Goes By"- Casablanca
"Sound of Silence"- The Graduate
I've seen Forrest Gump at least 50 times, and I'm ALWAYS given chills during the scene where "Turn, Turn, Turn" is playing as Jenny is riding away on the hippie bus and she and Forrest give each other the peace sign while he's standing there in his army uniform.
"Scorsese invented rock & roll on film"
Watch Blackboard Jungle.
Score = 0
I've always loved the way David Fincher used Goin' Out West by Tom Waits in Fight Club. The barbaric coolness of the song perfectly sets the tone for the movie, and everytime I watch it (at least once a month) and it comes to that scene, I just sit up straight, and ask myslef, "how fucking cool is that?" The answer is very fucking cool.
Score = 0
NO HIGH FIDELITY?!?!? WHAT THE FUCK
Score = 0
"Where Is My Mind?" is top 5 in my book.
Score = 0
Um, yeah, pretty much any Aimee Mann moment from Magnolia.
Score = 0
nothing from Repo Man..?
Sixteen Candles pick is great - every last track in that film is perfect. ditto Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Score = 0
We clearly have a Wes Anderson leaning group here in general. Perhaps there should be a list of top 10 Wes Anderson uses of music in a film.
My vote goes for "Needle in the Hay". The song ABSOLUTELY makes that scene what it is.
Nico comes in at second with the "These Days" cover.
Score = 0
i think actually that the tarantino entries seem almost like cheating, because sometimes you swear he writes the scene FOR the music. "110th st." at the beginning of jackie brown? that's so perfect.
but what i really wanted to add is a cheesy but super pairing: "ain't no sunshine" and notting hill.
Score = 0
can i nominate nina simone's "just in time" from "before sunset"? utterly perfect.
Score = 0
Evan:
Yes, Blackboard Jungle. But no one has streamlined the use of modern music with film, using editing, performance, time and setting with nearly as much meaning, enjoyability or sheer power as Scorsese. He created a whole new way to appreciate film and music, together.
Score = 0
The Spanish 'CRYING' in Mullholland Drive.
All the songs in Pulp Fiction.
Score = 0
needle in the hay - the royal tenenbaums.
yep.
Score = 0
i didn't read all the posts but how about "mrs robinson" from the graduate, and the who's "the seeker" from american beauty.
Score = 0
Wrong: Afternoon Delight from Anchorman
Right: Cornelius Bros. & Sister Rose's Treat Her Like a Lady from Anchorman (the song in the opening credits)
Score = 0
wait no, Paint it Black at the end of the Full Metal Jacket. Scorcese, Kubrick and Tarantino are masters of placing amazing music. period.

They mention two molly ringwald movies, but no don't you forget about me from the breakfast club

"Sometimes" by My Bloody Valentine in Lost In Translation.
C'MON!!!!
Score = 0
Krist... Scorsese was a master of placing music in films, until The Departed.
I loved the movie, but the music in it sucked.
Score = 0
I 5th Nico's "These days," I can recall very few moments in film that capture the visual and emotional aspects of a song so well. Wes Anderson deserved several spots, definitely some for Rushmore. I tried to judge this on a jaded gen X compiled list level, since most were post 1983.
p.s.
the graduate?
performance??
Blow up???
Score = 0
"twist and shout" wasn't even the best musical moment in ferris beuller's day off. (neither was "oh yeah")
hello??? "please, please, please let me get what i want" -- the muzak version? classic.
Score = 0
this list is great, and all these comments have mentioned tenenbaums, but i seriously think "me and julio down by the schoolyard" is my number one(from tenenbaums)... yeah, also killing moon from donnie darko, and quite a few garden state moments... also that beta band song in high fidelity... "we'll meet again" in doctor strangelove and "singing in the rain" in a clockwork orange... cameron crowe is great at using music in movies though, like he took freebird, the redneck anthem, and used it so well...
Score = 0
Shows how fucking awesome Tarantino is with his music placement. Although I cannot dispute the number of times he's shown up on the list, I can't help but want to suggest a few others
at the very least, how about the strip club scene with marsellus and Al Green's "Let's Stay Together."
That's half the reason I love that song so much.
Score = 0
this list is shit.
every scene in harold and maude should be on this list, as well as a lot of wes anderson and baz luhrman. also, what about the new movie half nelson, which had amazing musical scenes.
Score = 0
ok, the killing moon is def tops in donnie darko, but i freaking love Head Over Heels in there, too. aaaaaand hell, Love Will Tear Us Apart when jena's character shows up at the halloween party. obviously i'm too into that movie for these opinions to count though.
Score = 0
"just like honey" provides such a better moment in LIT than "sometimes."
Score = 0
I fail to see what's so great about that scene from Almost Famous. The song is pretty great, but that scene could not be any cheesier.
The whole movie sucks, really.
What's up with all the Darko love, but no mention of "Mad World?" Too obvious? Not hip enough? Not enough cred points?
Score = 0
Boy, came to give some love for Killing Moon for Donnie Darko - apparently I'm not the only one, hehe....
Score = 0

I think "Mad World" misses the debut criterion. Pretty sure about that because the guy who did the soundtrack is listed in the arrangement credits on Gary Jules version of the song. If we could break that criterion, it'd def. be there, as would Beck's "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime."
The old Japanese song featured prominently in Kurosawa's Ikiru comes to mind as something that should be there. I guess not enough people have seen that movie though.
Score = 0
Nothing from the Life Aquatic? If the closing scene with Queen Bitch didn't make it, then I don't know what should. Lets not forget seu jorge being snuck up on by pirates.
Score = 0
In case anyone wants to listen to these songs, I loaded the list up on playlist site FIQL.com for easier consumption. You can listen in iTunes, Rhapsody and Napster. Not that these songs were meant to be listened together but.....

also who can forget elliott smith's needle in the hay in royal tenenbaums?! that's scenes amaaaaaazing.
Score = 0
I don't know... I think I'd have Cat Stevens' Trouble from Harold and Maude in the top ten.
Needle in the Hay from The Royal Tenenbaums would be in there. So would Ooh La La from Rushmore.
I almost want to count Downtown in Girl, Interrupted, too.
Score = 0
i vote hard for needle in the hay in the royal tennenbaums.
also, in secretary, leonard cohen's "i'm your man" is splendid to me
Score = 0
what!?! nothing from pretty woman? or any of those julia roberts chick flicks? she by elvis costello from nottinghill should've been here.
Score = 0
Final sequence in Dr. Strangelove should be on there.
Loved the Audioslave track in Collateral . . . which wasn't a good scene . . . or a really good track . . . or a really good movie, but that moment with the coyote is EPIC. Even that Mogwai track at the end of Miami Vice was great.
It may be cheesy, but who doesn't love the Righteous Brothers in Top Gun?
Score = 0
Why did "Don't Stop Me Now" from Shaun of the Dead place so damn high? As far as musical movie moments it DEFINITELY doesn't top the Goodfellas or Fight Club musical moments that made the list.
Someone should tell those listmakers to turn off "Beautiful Girls" and "10 Things" to get some better, more cultured choices like Wes Anderson's films.
Score = 0
what about Ennio Marconi and all of that music from "A Fist Full of Dollars" and "For a Few Dollars More." That is how film and music were meant to go together. Also Wagner's "Ride Of The Valkyries" is pretty amazing in "Apocolypse Now."
Score = 0
take out letters to cleo - and I like the cover - but put in ABBA's "Waterloo" in Muriel's Wedding. C'mon.
Score = 0
...and what about the 1812 Overture in Caddyshack??
Score = 0
I know all the words to "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" because of Top Gun.
Score = 0
25. "You Can Leave Your Hat On," Tom Jones – The Full Monty
Should be:
25. "You Can Leave Your Hat On," Joe Cocker – 9 1/2 Weeks
Score = 0
I know it just came out and everything, but the opening titles sequence in The Departed.. holy shit. Whoever that was playing, some Irish punk band, it just worked, it's up there with the opening credits of Pulp Fiction.
Score = 0
I thought someone, somewhere on this list would have listed Baba O'Riley from Summer of Sam. An incredible scene. gave me the same epiphany I felt from Killing Moon in Darko. It completely redefined and personalized my relationship to a song I'd never really listened to closely or appreciated before seeing it set in the movie.
Score = 0
oops. I meant Under the Milky Way by the Church from Darko. When that bagpipes kicks in, wow. Transcendental.
Score = 0
I noticed someone else put this. The part of The Royal Tenenbaums when Margot get's off the bus and Nico starts playing is my favorite part of any movie, ever.
Score = 0
Bad Moon on the rise - American Wearwolf in London
Black Betty - Kung Pao, Enter the Fist

c'mon now, Sonic Youth's "Kool Thing" being blasted out in the sticks of Strong Island with "You may tell jokes, Mr. Jerry Seinfeld, but you are no comedian" Elina Löwensohn dancing doofily with Bill "deadpan" Sage and Martin "deader-pan" Donovan?
The round table music discussion that follows is a hoot. "Hot Fucking Tuna".
Score = 0
one of the first to comment screwed up and mentioned gimmie shelter. the rolling stones' gimmie shelter during layer cake was INSANELY AMAZING.
i think that entire soundtrack is perfect, though. i'll add the cult's she sells sanctuary (opening) AND the remix of starsailor's four to the floor (closing) to my personal list, too.
also --- urge overkill's girl you'll be a woman soon from pulp fiction... easily my favorite musical moment from that movie.
and of course mad world. but does that count?
Score = 0
list needs at least two more harry nilsson songs.
Score = 0
Here's a correction. #23 describes the end of "Fight Club" thusly: "...the entire Los Angeles skyline falls to the ground before them..." Actually, the film is set in Wilmington, Delaware.
Score = 0
lennyx is dead on. the use of night ranger's 'sister christian' in boogie nights is genius. the tension built in that scene between the guns, cocaine, and the power guitar is brilliant. 80s decadence at its peak. not to mention the strange little boy who comes in and out of the shot... this should have been on the list for sure.
Score = 0
"These Boots are Made for Walking", Full Metal Jacket.
"So Happy Together", Adaptation.
"California Dreaming", Chungking Express.
Score = 0
Lots of Coen Brothers scenes are perfect for their use of music: The Busby Berkley dream sequence from The Big Lebowski with Kenny Rogers's "Just Stepped In," and the flying carpet dream sequence with Dylan's "The Man in Me." "Danny Boy" during Leo's ultra-violent rampage in Miller's Crossing. The opening "Big Rock Candy Mountain" in O Brother.
Also, I agree that the dearth of Wes Anderson on this list is absurd, and no one has even mentioned Dignan hot-wiring a car in Bottle Rocket with the Proclaimers' "Over and Done With" playing.
Score = 0
The Mary Chain's 'Just Like Honey' from the last scene in 'Lost In Translation'. That song has never sounded so perfect, the drum echo in the theatre was worth the entrance price alone. Makes your hairs stand on end.
Score = 0
"Almost Famous" is a horrible, pedantic, maudlin tour de fource. That scene epitomizes it. "Almost Famous" is to the 70's rock scene what "Rent" is to 90's downtown NYC. You must LOVE Ryan Adams, eh? My case now rests.

You forgot Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye" in Vanilla Sky. As Tom Cruise is leaving Penelope Cruz's apartment after their evening together (before he gets into Cameron Diaz's car) the intro to "Last Goodbye" is playing, but it is cut off before the words. Brilliant use of music as foreshadowing for anyone who knows the song. Cameron Crowe is B.A.

I've never heard anyone else mention it but Abide with Me from the parent's house scene in 28 Days Later really impressed me, I think because I would never have thought of using a hymn, but it creates perfectly bleak associatons of funerals, church services and school assemblies which you wouldn't have got from a rock song.

What is this obsession with fucking TEN THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU? Seriously. Fucking seriously. So a Nick Lowe and a Franki Valli tune make it- I can feel that, but from TEN THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU?
I didn't see A Clockwork Orange on there. I didn't ANY FILM with the exception of Harold & Maude from BEFORE 1983. You do all know that the period of 1969 to 1980 is considered the best period of American film, right? You've heard of things existing before the 90s, right? Jesus Christ. I was born in 1975, I'm not ancient, but seriously, this is a weak ass representation of 100 years of cinema.
