Name a great music moment from a movie

[Wetzelbill]

It doesn't have to be your favorite or what you consider the best, just something that you enjoyed which has stuck with you.

The one I'll name is from "Taxi Driver" right after Travis Bickle (Robert DeNiro) shoots the punk who was trying to rob the convenience store he was in. Bickle is sitting on the couch watching, I think, American Bandstand pointing his gun at the screen, and you can just tell he has gone off the deep end. It's poignant and awesome to see the direction and acting in this scene, no words are even needed. The song being played is "Late For The Sky" by Jackson Browne. Brilliant.

[MrScorpio]

1. The first view of the Imperial Fleet in the Empire Strikes Back

First time use of Darth Vader's theme

[LynneSin]

23. Empire Strikes Back: When Yoda used the force to move Luke's X-fighter

Luke said it could be done and Yoda showed him up. John WIlliams scored that section brilliantly and by the time the x-fighter is back on the ground you're thinking "You know I think I could move large objects with the force" and you're covered with goosebumps

[Ladyhawk]

101. Yes, The Imperial March still sends shivers down my spine.

I also liked the score in Star Wars (Episode IV) when Han and Luke were in the gun wells on the Millenium Falcon shooting TIEs. When I play X-Wing Alliance, I love it when that music comes on. :)

[enigmatic]

2. "Wise-up" from "Magnolia"

My favorite film of recent memory, and when the cast sings along w/ Aimee Mann's great song at the emotional climax (for the most part) of the film, it literally made me cry because it was so unexpected, and so perfect.

[Wetzelbill]

5. that is an emotional part

PT Anderson uses her music well in that film. She's sickeningly talented.

"Respect the Cock"

I once filmed a phony beer commercial when I was in video school. You see me walking in an underground garage, then I walk around this corner, I have a beer in my hand, I get up to the camera, pop the beer, take a huge swig, look into the camera, and at this point you can see what brand the beer is -I can't remember offhand - and I say: "Respect the cock." Then you were to see the beer logo onscreen - I never finished editing it all - and it fades out. It's hilarious.

[enigmatic]

7. LOL

Oh man, you should have finished editing that!

[Wetzelbill]

9. I might still have it on an old beta sp tape

One of these days I'll get a really good pc just for editing stuff and I'll have to digitize all of my video and put together some little projects for fun.

[KitchenWitch]

10. Where did you go to film school?

:D

[Wetzelbill]

12. in Seattle

The Art Institute of Seattle, Video Production major.

[KitchenWitch]

13. cool

I know someone who went to the one in Vancouver, I was just wondering...

[thinking is sexy]

75. Massive Attack's Angel in

Snatch when Brad Pitt is gearing up for his revenge. Such emotion amplified by MA's entrancing song -- it was the moment when I had to give Brad due credit as an actor. ;-)

[manic expression]

91. That entire boxing scene is amazing

one of my favorite scenes.

[ghostsofgiants]

6. Damit, I was gonna say that

Great film and a beautiful scene.

[enigmatic]

8. I have to watch it again

I can't remember a film that affected me so much; maybe "My Dinner With Andre"...

[Wetzelbill]

11. Wicked Weapon....

Starring Jenna Jameson kind of had that same impact on me. :)

Actually, in recent memory, I was profoundly affected by Akira Kurosawa's last film "Madadayo." It's a marvel, I seem to remember you saying you liked "Ikiru" and were an AK fan. Pure genius. Everything he ever did was great. "Ran" hit me fucking hard too. Man, that's a powerful film, an adaption of Shakespeare's King Lear. 'Nuff said.

[enigmatic]

14. I love AK

And yeah, "Ikiru" is in my top 10; the scene where Mr Watanabe sings that song of lost love (w/o a trace of sentimentality) at the bar, and everyone there is just frozen in place always nails me to the wall, too..

[Wetzelbill]

15. Kurosawa is the ultimate humanist...

His films will make you cry at the drop of a hat if you aren't careful. Ikiru shows how even a bureaucratic type can come out and make a difference in a short time. It's about touching lives, you know? Kurosawa shows that even simple men can be great and even great men can be flawed and mortal. Madadayo is like that too. It shows the life of a simple professor who eventually leaves teaching to become a writer. His students meet with him every year on his birthday. Very loving in the way they care for him and continue to do so his whole life. Great story.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

55. How did I know you would post this before I could??

[enigmatic]

76. Ha!

I would have left it for you, but it was the first thing that popped into my head, although the scene I mentioned in "Ikiru" is just as good.

I was thinking about this today and came up w/ a couple more:

In "Man Facing Southeast" where Rantes is overcome w/ the symphony and goes up to conduct it himself; he instructs them to play "Ode To Joy", and what happens next is very moving.

The scene in Jim Jarmuch's "Stranger Than Paradise" (one of my three favorite films of all-time) where Eva (newly arrived from Hungary)presses Play on her cheap tape player and Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put A Spell On You" blares out as she walks to her cousin's pathetic apartment. Always makes me smile, and I really became a Screamin' Jay fan after seeing the film when it came out in '84..

[KitchenWitch]

3. I love the entire soundtrack to "Field of Dreams"

[TaleWgnDg]

4. When I was a kid watching Dorothy and the Yellow Brick Road

.
When I was a kid watching Dorothy dance down the Yellow Brick Road hand-in-hand with the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Lion:

WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD
(Music : Harold Arlen / Lyrics : E.Y. Harburg)
Sung by Judy Garland

Follow the yellow brick road
Follow the yellow brick road
Follow, follow, follow, follow
Follow the yellow brick road
Follow the yellow brick
Follow the yellow brick
Follow the yellow brick road

We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz
You'll find he is a whizz of a Wiz, if ever a Wiz there was!
If ever, oh ever, a Wiz there was, the Wizard of Oz is one because
Because, because, because, because, because
Because of the wonderful things he does
We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz




.

[mcscajun]

16. From "The Sea Hawk" -- "Strike for the Shores of Dover"

I'm a sucker for Korngold, but this moment always sticks with me...when Capt. Thorpe's privateers are coming back to England and the orchestra swells and the male chorus (unseen, naturally) breaks into song.

[Misunderestimator]

17. "La Mamma Morta" in a scene from Philadelphia...

Tom Hanks is listening to recording of Maria Callas and describing the aria to his lawyer, while he walks around his living room dragging an IV drip with him.

[JimmyJazz]

28. That was unbelievable. Hard to watch, but impossible to turn away.

:hug:

[Heidi]

18. "Aint too Proud to Beg" . . .

from the kitchen scene in "The Big Chill."

[Wetzelbill]

19. alot of people love that scene

that's something I've always heard mentioned on lists like this etc.

[auburngrad82]

20. From Rocky Horror

"Sweet Transvestite" by Tim Curry and "Time Warp" by the cast. I also like "Hot Patootie" by Meatloaf.

And the whole soundtrack from Buena Vista Social Club. Ditto the soundtrack from Motorcycle Diaries.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

21. Sweet Transvestite is one of my favorite songs of all time...

but my music/movie moment has to be the Air Cav scene in Apocolypse Now with Flight of the Valkyries playing. Powerful.

[Aristus]

85. The reprise of "Science Fiction Double Feature", with music box

accompaniment is strangely moving. At the end: "Pic...ture...show-w-w-w-w-w..." Richard O'Brien sounds like he's near tears. Funny how a silly, fun and kooky movie like that can get you going emotionally.

[Initech]

22. The end of Fight Club

When the entire credit card industry goes down in flames while the Pixies' Where Is My Mind is playing in the background.

[Wetzelbill]

24. I was thinking about that one when I made the op too

That's really a great scene.

[Initech]

37. It's what got me started listening to the Pixies

I bought a copy of Surfer Rosa pretty much right after I saw the movie.

[sakabatou]

25. Godzilla: 1954

When the you see the troops preparing for Godzilla's attack.

[barb162]

27. self delete

[BigMcLargehuge]

89. Ifukube's military march is masterful

I also love his score for Destroy All Monsters

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. When the von trapp kids are singing a very sad "favorite things"

and then Maria returns and starts singing with them from afar.

I always cry at that part.

AND DON'T MAKE FUN OF ME FOR THAT! I CAN'T HELP IT!! :harumph:

[barb162]

29. The ballet of The Red Shoes from the movie of the same name

[MalibuChloe]

30. A scene in Face/Off

It's not the best movie, but there is a scene where a child is witnessing a horrific act of violence and "I Honestly Love You" by Olivia Newton-John is playing over it...no dialogue - just blood and gore and this little kid watching. It's really a good scene.

[ihaveaquestion]

31. Pearl Harbor - The music behind the Japanese Fleet

The American part of this movie sucked bigtime (has Ben Affleck ever really acted in his life?), but the Japanese Fleet preparations and the attack scenes were spectacular with music to match. Japanese drumming played a big part and was very effective.

[NashVegas]

32. Say Anything - "In Your Eyes"

Pretty much said it all.

[Wetzelbill]

35. I bought that movie solely to see that scene

When I heard about it a few years ago, I just had to own it.

[Blue_In_AK]

69. That's the one I was going to say

I loved that scene and love the song.

[bridgit]

33. it's from: 'masked and anonymous'...

http://www.ahafilm.info/movies/moviereviews.phtml?fid=7486 but a little girl walks up to dylan playing 'jack fake' sitting in the midst of these group-w bench looking dudes & sings 'blowin in the wind' straight up a cappella & real pretty, after which the whole crew melts & dylan smiles...and i like it when dylan smiles

[Felix Mala]

34. Scarlett O'Hara in her mourning clothes doing a lively dance from

behind the counter at the bazaar.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

36. "The Magnificent Seven"

Every time I see that movie (and I'm pretty much like Howard Hughes and "Ice Station Zebra" on this one), I'm humming the music for weeks.

[Wetzelbill]

42. I love that theme song

it is catchy. Puts a person in a good mood too.

[youspeakmylanguage]

38. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - "The Ecstasy of Gold"

When Eli Wallach's character Tuco approaches the vast makeshift graveyard and this piece begins to swell, it elevates the movie from merely excellent to extraordinary.



"You want to know who you are? Huh? Huh? You don't, I do, everyone does - you're the son of a thousand fathers, all bastards like you..."

[Wetzelbill]

41. I own that too

great scene. Awesome film. Lee Van Cleef is a treasure too.

[youspeakmylanguage]

44. The greatest casting decision that almost happened...

In "Once Upon A Time In The West", Sergio Leone wanted the three henchmen at station in the opening scene of the movie to be Eastwood, Van Cleef, and Wallach. Therefore when Bronson shoots them down, he is symbolically ending the "Man With No Name" chapter of Leone's life and career.

From what I've read, Eastwood was game but had prior commitments, Wallach was game, but Van Cleef hit the roof - he was chosen for "A Few Dollars More" after Henry Fonda turned down the role and felt slighted that Leone chose Fonda instead of him for the role of Frank. He wasn't about to fly out to Spain to do a cameo, no matter how significant it was.

Once I heard about this, it trumped my previous favorite "brilliant casting that almost happened" - Maynard James Keenan in the role of Raoul in "Panic Room". Again, prior commitments forced the director to cast Dwight Yoakam in the role, who was great, but not as great as MJK would have been.

[Kraklen]

48. That's the perfect choice.

Every shot is perfect and it's choreographed to the music.

[petronius]

106. I get goose-bumpy at the prison camp chorus...

[mikita]

39. two that I loved...

one is the music when they are flying in "Out of Africa". The second is the piece (maybe sung by Bocelli?) when Ramon flies in "The Sea Inside".... just beautiful....

Mikita

[RandomKoolzip]

40. The end of "Rushmore...."

Max cues up "Oooh La La' by the Faces. I swear, it kills me every time I've seen it, and I must have seen this movie 50 times.

[youspeakmylanguage]

45. I love that song...

...but the misogynistic nature of the lyrics surprised me.

[RandomKoolzip]

53. The melody, for me, overpowers any politcal meaning the song might have.

In the context of early-seventies British boogie rock (The Stones, Rod the Mod, Humble Pie, etc), the lyrics are actually pretty mild. ANd criticizing a dumb (but beautiful) rock and roll song for lyrics which betray "politically incorrect" sentiments means that all the old blues singers will have to go get sensitivity training, too....Remember Robert Johnson's "I'm gonna beat my woman/'til I'm satisfied?"

It can be argued that the whole corpus of rock is sexist, which does not negate its significance in aesthetic terms, only in merely sociological ones.

[Merrick]

57. Same movie - different song

when Max is at home avoiding Margaret to the my favorite Rolling Stones song: "I Am Waiting"

[RandomKoolzip]

62. That's the other part of the film that gets me choked up.

I swear that's the best film made in America in the last decade.

[ceile]

43. In "The Crow"...

where Brandon Lee dons the Crow outfit to a brilliant Cure song (the name escapes me right now). I could watch that scene over and over again.

[Blue_In_AK]

70. I like that one, too

Strangely, that's one of my favorite movies, even though I'm usually not into violence. Maybe it's just the tragedy of handsome Brandon's death during the filming. That movie is absolutely haunting.

[jackelope72]

46. 2 of my favorites...kinda cheesy, but fun

My Best Friend's Wedding--Rupert Everett leading the cast in a rendition of "I Say a Little Prayer For You"

Ella Enchanted--Anne Hathaway performing Queen's "Somebody To Love", backed up by a group of Boy-George-esque giants

[AngryAmish]

47. "Ravenous" soundtrack

really cool

[GOPisEvil]

49. Pretty much all of The Last of the Mohicans.

Excellent music throughout. I even bought the soundtrack. It's beautiful to this day, even without the movie.

[FuzzySlippers]

54. I love that, too. So does JJ.

We all have excellent taste.:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

56. I saw that movie on a date.

My date was moved by Daniel Day Lewis. I was moved by the music (and the lovely Ms. Stowe).

[Kraklen]

50. This is kind of sappy, but Pleasantville.

At the end when everything is colorized and liberalized they play a cover of "Nothing's Going to Change my World," as people water the lawn and eat popsicles.

[malmapus]

51. First battle scene from Gladiator in Germania

With the preperations for it on the Roman side, that music fit perfectly with the mood, the climate and everything. Very powerful.

[Sabriel]

52. Barber's "Adagio for Strings" in Platoon

I can't listen to it without thinking of that scene.

[Merrick]

59. That's the first one that popped into my head

upon reading the title of this thread

[Connie_Corleone]

93. Absolutely!

Everytime I hear that, I think of Platoon.

[BeTheChange]

58. Tiny dancer- Almost Famous...

and Mad World (Gary Jules) from Donnie Darko.

Im also rather fond of Beck's song in Eternal Sunshine..

[Wetzelbill]

71. Tiny Dancer is a classic moment, when Russell joins in and....

you know they are going to all stick together. It's awesome.

[BeTheChange]

72. I always tear up..

Related questions.. what ever happened to groupies? What band has the most travelling groupies?

How did that kid fool Rolling stone? I want to participate in movie music moments like that.

[MsAnthropy]

60. Spinal Tap--"Lick My Love Pump"

That's such a pretty melody, I'd love to hear the whole song.

[Merrick]

61. Tears For Fears "Head Over Heels" in Donnie Darko

to the daily high school hallway migration, choreographed with the girls practicing their airband dance routine outside on the planter

[regnaD kciN]

68. From the same film...

Gary Jules's cover of "Mad World" over the montage near the end.

One of the most underrated films of the past decade.

[dean_dem]

74. Or another one...

In the opening scene, while "The Killing Moon" is playing. I can't ever hear that song now without that scene playing in my head.

[Merrick]

63. Requiem For A Dream - "Ghosts of Things To Come"

the dirgeful cello piece playing while Harry and Marion are floating paper airplanes from the apartment building over Coney Island.

I'd nominate the entire Clint Mansell/Kronos Quartet soundtrack for that movie as for best score ever

[FuzzySlippers]

64. The theme from "Schindler's List"

in the last scene where the survivors, accompanied by the actors who portrayed them, and their descendents filed past Schindler's grave. I'll start blubbering right now if I think about it too much.

[terrya]

65. In "Out of Africa"...

there's a scene where Robert Redford's character takes Isak Dinsen (Meryl Streep) in a ride in his airplane. They're flying over some gorgeous scenery accompanied by some of John Barry's more particularly beautiful music. It's just a wonderful scene...and the music definitely made it so.

[dajoki]

66. "the end" from "apocalypse now"

:popcorn:

[ihaveaquestion]

80. Oh yes! Perfect song for the time - sums it up completely!

[Lautremont]

67. "Bonnie & Clyde" from the dinner scene in Irma Vep

and then the same song again over the end credits. Great stuff!

[cedahlia]

73. "Layla" (the piano exit) in Goodfellas

Such a beautiful piece of music...and it plays as a background for several people getting bumped off by the mob!

Scorsese's brilliance at work yet again. :thumbsup:

[Kat45]

103. YES! That's the one that I was going to mention.

That was so inspired! Scorsese has always made great use of music (especially rock) in his films--just one of the many brilliant components that make his films great.

[Initech]

77. Another good one - the Jesus Quintana scene in The Big Lebowski

The mariachi-version of Hotel California by the Gypsy Kings is the PERFECT song for that scene!

[donheld]

78. Neil Young's "Philadelphia"

At the end of the movie of the same name.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

111. I always need a box of tissues handy for that movie...

Especially at the end, when they show the home movies of Beckett as a little boy...

[warrens]

79. Sparks singing Big Boy in "Rollercoaster"

Some maniac is about to blow up a Rollercoaster and all the kids are in another part of the park watching Sparks playing a free concert.

But overall, my favorite has to be Velvet Goldmine, with all the fake Iggys and Roxys and Bowies. Lotta fun.

[Felix Mala]

81. My group loved that in H.S. We would sing it until the teachers sent

us to the office.

[Wetzelbill]

82. kick because I like reading all of these

[HEyHEY]

83. The begining of Fear and Loathing

Big Brother and the holding CO.

Great tune, bizarre, wild, really fits the scene

[AlGore-08.com]

84. Casablanca, where Victor Lazlo tells the band: "Play La Marseillaise".

He leads the patrons in Rick's place in a singing war with the Nazis - - and beat them!

[bertha katzenengel]

86. "Postcards from the Edge" Meryl Streep sings "You Don't Know Me"

Terrific.

[bertha katzenengel]

87. and for that matter, when Shirley MacLaine follows her

singing "I'm Still Here."

:bounce:

[Aristus]

88. Enya's "Exile" used in 'L.A. Story'.

The scene where Steve Martin is trying to get Victoria Tennant to remain in L.A. instead of returning to England.

"All I know is that on the day your flight was to take off, if I had the power, I'd roll in fog and storms, dangerously high winds...I'd change the polarity of the Earth so compasses couldn't work and your plane couldn't leave the ground."

And then it all HAPPENS. To this incredible music.

:wow:

[Parrcrow]

90. Shout from Animal House toga party scene.

[Initech]

92. Another good one - the theme song from Orgazmo

I'd post the lyrics but it might get me banned.

[I Know How To Do it]

94. "Singing in the Rain" A Clockwork Orange

[Taverner]

Baker Street in Good Will Hunting

it just *worked*

[I Know How To Do it]

95. "Stuck in the Middle With You" Reservoir Dogs.

[I Know How To Do it]

96. "In Dreams", Blue Velvet, lip synced by Dean Stockwell.

[yellowdogintexas]

97. The Rachmaninoff theme that swirls through "Somewhere In Time"

just breathtaking!

and the Blue Danube Waltz with the space station choreographed to it in 2001 A Space Odyssey. just brilliant.


the Hitler Youth singing "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" in "Cabaret"
bone chillingly creepy

[Elidor]

98. Shawshank-when he plays the Mozart over the loudspeakers

What a beautiful moment. Timeless.

[Ladyhawk]

99. I agree...loved that scene. n/t

[swag]

100. Cedhalia already mentioned "Goodfellas," but I'll mention my fave

from that: the spaghetti sauce stirring, coked out, helicopter surveillance scene with Harry Nilsson's "Jump Into the Fire" pulsing compellingly behind it.

Music in the Films of Martin Scorsese: undoubtedly the subject of more than one postgraduate thesis.

Oh, another: "All the Way from Memphis" by Mott the Hoople in the opening few minutes of Alice Doesn't Live Here Any More.

[Wetzelbill]

114. I have so much music just from Scorsese films....

Goodfellas and Casino alone provide gold with every song.

[two gun sid]

102. The opening credits of "High Noon"

and the Miller gang is gathering on a hill above town.

[Wetzelbill]

113. oh that is a classic.....

Great choice, you got some good taste! :)

[Susang]

104. Sid and Nancy kissing by the dumpsters in "Sid and Nancy"

To the sounds of Pray for Rain. In slo-mo of course! :D

[shugah]

105. a knights tale

when the hot guy and the hot girl start dancing and the music slowly becomes bowie's 'golden years.'

[tarkus]

107. Uma Thurman and David Carradine on the porch in KB2.

That scene always amazes me. Everything about it is phenomenal. And of course, the Phenomenality continues when they step inside the church.

Perhaps only Tarentino could reuse that Morricone song to such chilling effeect.

[bliss_eternal]

108. Kill Bil: O-ren & Crazy 88's walking down the hall...

I LOVE that scene! It's an instrumental moment, but the music couldn't have been more perfect!

I honestly am partial to many scenes that Quentin has created. He knows how to use music with film--he's great at it.

I was moved by his use of "No one Told Me (About Her)" in Kill Bill 2. It said EVERYTHING in that moment.

I could go on and on naming scenes from his films, as I just love how he uses music--but I won't bore you guys.

;)

[Raiden]

125. I must agree, Tarantino is brilliant at using music in his films

Just about every song in Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and to a lesser extent True Romance and Reservoir Dogs

[bliss_eternal]

132. His comments about Shaft really stood out

and exemplified his musical knowledge.

He was a commentator on a documentary on films of the 70's. He was saying as much as he loved and respected the director of Shaft, he was SO disappointed that he wasted the fantastic theme that Issac Hayes created. He said it was a showcase song and you can bet if HE (Q) had done Shaft he would have worked that song. LOL!

I always loved Q.T's music in his films, but I hadn't paid a lot of attention to how he USED music until then. I was and still am quite impressed.

Great taste in music, a good ear and an imagination of how a song can be used visually.

[NaturalHigh]

109. "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."

Rhett Butler is one of my favorite characters of all time, in the movie and in the book.

[CanuckAmok]

110. Magnolia.

Where all the sub-stories go on "hold" and all the characters sing "Give Up", by Aimee Mann. It could have been cheezy, but it wasn't.

[terrya]

129. I like that scene a lot, also.

It wasn't chessy...that's the thing. A great scene in a terrific, though, um, "offbeat" film.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

112. In Casablanca, when Sam's piano's theme is taken up by the orchestra

After having met Isla again, Rick has stayed behind in his club to get smashed. Sam is there with him, fiddling with the piano.

"You know what I want to hear... You played it for her, you can play it for me!... If she can stand it, I can! Play it!"

And the camera moves in for a close up on Rick while Sam's piano playing becomes a full orchestra and Bogart the drunkard starts to reminisce. I love that movie moment. It makes me love the movies.

The scene with the Marseillaise is also good.

[Wetzelbill]

115. that is beautiful

[Robeson]

116. The entire soundtrack and scenes to "A Clockwork Orange"....

...had to be one of the greatest soundtracks of alltime.

[Heidi]

117. My husband may fall in love with you.

I will ask him to avert his eyes from this post. (Please don't say you're a Trekkie, too.) :rofl:

[Robeson]

118. Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager.....

...my three favorites. Your husband is a good man...:D

[Heidi]

119. Then I guess it wouldn't be appropriate for me to say to you:

"Wesley Crusher RULES!" :rofl:

[Robeson]

122. OMG!!!!!!.....

...Your husband KNOWS! You KNOW! I KNOW! My wife who just had to pick herself up off the floor after hearing that, KNOWS!! Please, no Wesley Crusher!!!! Beam him into space!...:toast:

[Heidi]

130. See, Robeson, that's why

this is why I'll never be a real Trekkie at heart: I have no malice in my heart for Wesley Crusher. My husband says it's one of the greatest disappoinments of our relationship. :rofl:

[Left_Winger]

120. Yo, Bill...

Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?

Howdy!

:hi:

[Wetzelbill]

123. oh I can't publicly talk to you until you at least have 2000 posts.....

Gotta keep the rep, you know?:evilgrin:

:hi:

[Left_Winger]

124. Well, let's chalk up one more to make that possible

Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me? :evilgrin:

[Wetzelbill]

126. you have moxie kid, I'll give you that.

:rofl:

[Left_Winger]

128. Yeah, that's one of my secrets...

:evilgrin:

[MrScorpio]

121. War's SPILL THE WINE in Boogie Nights

Loved it when they muffled the sound a bit when the guy dove into the pool.

Stroke of genius

[Wetzelbill]

127. way to kick it up a notch! nt

[bliss_eternal]

131. Very cool scene! My favorite music moment in that film

is actually during the credits.

During the credits they play ELO's "It's a Living Thing" which sums up so much of the film's themes so well (to me at least). I also loved the use of the sad carnival music.

Gotta love Spill the Wine, though!
:thumbsup:

[pilgrimsoul]

133. The final scene in Rudy

when he finally gets to suit up and his family comes to see him play. The soaring, majestic music when he's sent onto the field and then makes the sack perfectly captures the triumphant feeling of having one's dearest dream fulfilled at last...and even surpassed. Sappy, but damn satisfying. I tear up every time I see it.
