    Many, I know, but one of the most perfect that fits the moment, is the end scene of 'Fight Club', when Ed Norton is watching the buildings blow up, with a hole in his head and Pixies 'where is my mind' comes on.

    The theme from Requiem for a Dream was great. I’m not sure but I do think it was composed for the movie. Does that count?

    The Rage song in the riot scene in Natural Born Killers.

    "The Man in Me" throughout The Big Lebowski.

    Any of that goofy '80s pop shit in Scarface.

    Carmina Burana in Excalibur when the knights ride forth to war. Merlin brandishing his staff and pointing the way.

    Also in Excalibur, the "la la la la la" song in the fair while Arthur is running about looking for Kay's sword.

    Hey Man, Nice Shot in the Cable Guy during the basketball game.

    "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" by Nancy Sinatra in Kill Bill.

    "Where is my mind" rocks. Pixies rock.

    Also, "Rags to Riches" by Tony Bennett in Goodfellas, and pretty much all the classical music, but especially, "The William Tell Overture" in A Clockwork Orange.

    The Leonard Cohen stuff from <i>Natural Born Killers</i>...

    Even though it's just over the ending credits, I always liked "Paint It Black" at the end of <i>Full Metal Jacket</i>. Kubrick's films always had great musical accompaniment -- tracks that took on a new life when inserted into new contexts (e.g., "We'll Meet Again" in <i>Dr. Strangelove</i> and the aforementioned <i>Clockwork Orange</i> selections). The Shostokovich waltz at the beginning of <i>Eyes Wide Shut</i>, also the "Backward Priests" bit during the orgy are quite appropos.

    Well, "Paint it Black" is the song of songs, so it'd be good in a Vin Diesel flick.

    Agreed.

    I'm thinking, in the hypothetical Vin Diesel movie, they would probably have some lame modern band cover it (cheaper, ya know). Though I'm sure a Nickelback version would be breathtaking... (sarcasm) :bugeye:

    The piano solo portion of "Layla" during the murder montage scene in Goodfellas.
    "Sympathy For The Devil" at the end of Interview With A Vampire
    The Tom Wier piece at the end of Swimming With Sharks
    The "love theme" from Young Frankenstein (French horn ... cool)

    Does anybody know whether Iron Maiden's "Where Eagles Dare" is from the Richard Burton/Clint Eastwood movie? Or was it inspired by the movie?

    The movie came out in '68, and Piece of Mind was released in '83, so I'm assuming it was inspired.
