Music in movies

Describe some scenes in movies where the music goes hand in
hand with the scene.

Pretty good, and obvious example: Charlotte in 'Lost in
Translation', staring out at tokyo, looking all isolated
among the tall buildings, with tommib playing in the
background. Works brilliantly.

You must mean examples wherre music orr songs that werren't
intended to be played therre in that specific scene arre
used, else I can think of countless examples.

No, I meant what I mean (for once).

Sure you can say "eye of the tiger" was good while rocky did
his workout, if you think that helped to create a good
atmosphere in the scene.

The slow motion scene in Harmony Korine's Gummo where the
kid is riding his bike down the street and this really slow,
heavy metal tune is playing. I don't know what it is though.

The bit in American Beauty wherre they'rre watching the
videos of the wind blowing stuff arround, a crrisp packet I
think.

"I've got a golden ticket" in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory, it really capture the feeling of charlie getting a
Golden ticket. It's llike you could just listen to the
music and know EXACTLY what is going on in the film.

"ive got a golden twinkle in my eye"

"born slippy" at the end of Trainspotting - comes first to
my mind.

-use of the christmas music from Charlie Brown in that one
scene in the Royal Tenenbaums
-Jean-Pierre Melville's films always have fucking amazing
scores, completely suited to the emotional tenor of the
scene.
-Last Days and Hildegard Westerkamp's decaying surrealist
soundscapes
-some of Toru Takemitsu's work on films like Woman in the
Dunes (really delicate rainstick type stuff during some of
the really sexually taut encounters between the two main
characters)

etc.
etc.

Chu Ichikava's track at the beginning of Tetsuo.
And yes, almost all songs in Trainspotting work very well

Akira has one of my favorite soundtracks ever, and anything
by Walter/Wendy Carlos is worth listening to. few hold a
candle to DANNY ELFMAN though.

Bernard Herrmann blows Elfman clean out of the water.

as does Jerry Goldsmith.

as does Howard Shore (.. well.. before his atrocious "Lord
of the rings" scores..).

all soundtrack from Blade Runner. i'm not Vangelis fan, but
i can't imagine the film without this music.

In the second Matrix, the fight scene between Neo and the
millions of agents went perfectly with the music. The music
was the only good thing in that film.
