In the depths and throws of emotion
I didn't know quite how to word that, but your favorite scenes in movies where all the sound is cut out and just a song is playing over the top . . . . my favorite is the first scene at school in Donnie Darko where he jumps out of the back of the bus and it starts playing that Hall and Oates song.


What are yours?
 
I thought Angel by Massive Attack was very well used in Snatch, while Mickey is trying to get in the burning trailer.

Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" while Renton ODs in Trainspotting, and Louis Arrmstrong's "What A Wonderful World" as scenes of war go by in Good Morning Vietnam. I guess I'm a sucker for irony.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
For months i've been wracking my brain for that scene! Every time i listen to Angel I think about some movie that uses it well, but I couldn't pick it!

Good Morning Vietnam is a very good call.
 
There's a scene in Monster where Christina Ricci and Charlize Theron get it on that is underscored by 'Crimson & Clover' by The Shondells that's pretty cool.
 
Angel is used to fairly good effect in Best Laid Plans as well.

That song is so fucking good that it could make a scene with Leonard Nimoy fucking a polar bear wearing a cowboy hat cool.

Hmm... That would be a cool scene anyway. But you get my point.

:D
 
I love the scene in Mean Streets where Johnny Boy struts into the bar with a bird on each arm to Jumpin' Jack Flash by the Stones.
 
rushmore - when max exits the elevator in slow motion during the bee incident. i think it's a who track.

the scene with "nothin' in this world can stop me worryin' 'bout that girl".

and when the faces' "ooh la la" plays over the end credits, i get goosebumps every time.

"Where is my mind?" by the Pixies at the end of Fight Club. Climax of a great film and an amazing tune. Awesome stuff

Hell yes - one of the greatest. It almost makes me cry when the song comes in. I love the song so much and its one of the greatest movies ever!!
 
Donnie Darko -- The final scene playing Gary Jules "Mad World", everyone waking up and thinking back on the events of the film as if they just woke up from a dream. Everytime I see this scene I get teary eyed.
 
^^ thats just so wierd - took me a couple of watches to figure out what the hell happened, but i did and love the movie even more as a result
 
Pretty much all of Requiem for a Dream. The Kronos Quartet/Clint Mansell combo is great. Just plain creepy listening to the soundtrack.

The Royal Tenenbaums,
The scene where Ritchie tells his reflection he is going to kill himself tommorow...
The scene where Ritchie goes to collect Margot at the Bus stop...

Not sure about the music in the first scene, but the later is Nico I believe.

:)

The first is Elliot Smith - Needle in the Hay? Well, that's when he does try to kill himself...the second one, Nico - These Days

The soundtrack to that movie is really good. Wes Anderson always seems to have pretty well done soundtracks.

Trainspotting, the end...with Underworld's Born Slippy is fucking amazing.

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels...when the cat loses the poker game...The Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog.

Favorite, though? Office Space, trashing the fucking printer...Geto Boyz - Still. Fucking awesome. Die mothafuckas, Die mothafuckas
 
I was a big fan of the music and the way it was used in little miss sunshine. i only saw it once so i dont remember any specifics, but i just remember thinking it worked great.
 
Ditto to The tennanbaums "These days" scene (by Nico and velvet underground)

Ditto to The fight club scene

Ditto to The slow-mo Donnie Darko shot where they play Tears for Fears - head over heels

I would add:

Scenes in the Hudsucker Proxy (lots of them, the music is sabre dance, and the theme from Spartacus)
 
Ditto Tenenbaums, ditto Fight Club.

Apocalypse Now: The legendary opening with "The End" playing to napalm fire.

Traffic - When Benicio Del Toro looks upon the baseball field to Brian Eno's "An Ending (Ascent)."

Superman - I still get chills whenever I watch the opening credits set to John Williams's majestic score (dare I say the best credits sequence ever).

2001: A Space Odyssey - The whole damn movie. Not just the famous "Blue Danube" sequence, but Ligeti's haunting "Lux Aeterna" as the ship makes its way to the monolith. Or his terrifying "Requiem" when the apes first discover it. Or its reprise when Dave Bowman goes into it.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - Vinnie Jones walks out of a bar. He lights up a cigarette. "Fools Gold" from the Stone Roses plays in the background.

The Last Emperor - An elderly Pu Yi looks upon his former throne as a tourist, while Ryuichi Sakamoto's gorgeous theme kicks in.
