MY TOP 10 MOVIE/MUSIC SCENES OF ALL TIME!!!!!
Ok as everyone knows..I love music..yeah I know it comes as no surprise...but I also love movies.... So when a movie contains a solid soundtrack its kinda like using a buy one get one free coupon...Not only do you get the enjoyment of the movie but you also get the enjoyment of listening to great music..Its a good deal..So what I`ve done is I`ve racked my brain and came up with my top 10 "Favourite Movie/Music Scenes" which is bascially my favourite movie scenes that have the perfect music to go along with that particular scene...so here it goes....We`ll start off at Number 10..The number 10 spot on our list bring us to the movie Beverly Hills Cop...Now the theme song from Beverly Hills Cop called simply Axel F (click on name to hear song) written by Harold Faltermeyer was probably the soundtrack to my grade school days....I remember walking to school from Beachmount Cres with that song in my head...and I love all the Beverly Hills Cop movies...The song was played probably a gazillion times throughout the series but it always stuck in my head..Its probably the cheesey keyboard is what I love most about the song...Number 9 is the performance of Jim Carrey in the Cable Guy when he sings "Somebody To Love" which was probably the only entertaining scene in the whole movie...but it always makes me laugh...man I should buy that movie actually now that I think about it...it would be worth it for that one song...anyway`s that scene is hilarious and I love Jim Carrey and that song so its a bonus to see him sing it...especially in a comedic way...Number 8 is the movie Swingers..now the movie itself has a lot of great scene`s that feature some great tracks but I`d have to say my favourite scene from that movie is when they all decide to use there own cars to drive to the party/bar.....The song that they drive to is called Pick Up The Pieces by The Average White Band....I just think it is such a cool song which totally goes along with the plot of them being cool taking 5 cars when they could have taken one...jokes!...Number 7 is the ever popular "Paint Can Carrying" scene....which If that doesn`t give it away I don`t know what will....Yes I`m talking about Saturday Night Fever when John Travolta is walking with the camera angle pointing at his shoes and The Bee Gee`s Stayin Alive playing in the background...Now I wasn`t even breathing oxygen when this movie came out but I saw it when I was in Gr 10 in high school and was a fan of The Bee Gee`s from then on...Number 6 is kind of a weird one but the song got me into the band....The scene is from the movie Private Parts and the song is Pinhead by The Ramones...Now when I first watched this movie back in the day I`d herd of the Ramones but I didn`t know what there music sounded like....and then once I did some research and found out it was them I got into the Ramones for a bit....its also funny to see Howard Stern sing along to the begininning of this song...Now for Number 5 ......which is from the movie High Fidelity....The scene takes place in John Cusack`s record store when he turns to Todd Louiso (Jerry Maguire) and says " I will now sell four copies of "The Three EPs" by The Beta Band." ...and then he plays 2 seconds of the track before some other guy in the store turns to him and asks "Who is this?"...its funny because its soo true...and If I had my own record store I would do that all day...Number 4 ..Is taken from The Life Aquatic With Steve Zisso....Bill Murray is hilarious and when him and his scuba team dance to the techno jem of Ping Island /Lightning Strike Rescue Op by Mark Mothersbaugh...I die laughing....I dunno why but I think its hilarious..Especially Bill Murray...he`s just got that sense of humor about him that is so serious but is so funny as well...Number 3 is from The Movie Anchorman...when Ron Burgundy and the rest of the channel 4 news team break out into Afternoon Delight it makes me laugh with tears....The best part about it is that they sing it dead on....with harmonies and everything..like they`ve been singing it for years...They kill it out ...and I kill myself laughing everytime...Number 2 is taken from the Movie Almost Famous...till this day whenever I watch the scene when the whole band is singing Elton John`s Tiny Dancer...I get goosebumps...Cameron Crowe has always been great at making films with awesome music in them...I guess that`s the advantage to being a Rolling Stones Editor for yrs...anyways the scene is important because the band had just gotten into a little fight and it shows that music has the power to bring people together no matter what is going on in our lives and that`s why that scene rocks....and of course Number 1 is from Good Will Hunting...as soon as I herd Between The Bars...By Elliott Smith...I was hooked...Not only was it a phenominal movie but the soundtrack was also awesome...Its the movie that introduced me to my favourite artist and that is why it is number 1....I`ll leave ya with the songs from all these movies...here they are again in order...CN 1-Elliott Smith - Between The Bars (Good Will Hunting) 2-Elton John - Tiny Dancer (Almost Famous) 3-Channel 4 News Team - Afternoon Delight (Anchorman) 4-Mark Mothersbaugh - Ping Island /Lightning Strike Rescue Op (Life Aquatic) 5-The Beta Band - Dry The Rain (High Fidelity) 6-The Ramones - Pinhead (Private Parts) 7-The Bee Gee`s - Staying Alive (Saturday Night Fever) 8-The Average White Band - Pick Up The Pieces (Swingers) 9-Jim Carrey - Sombody To Love (Cable Guy) 10-Harold Faltermeyer -

Haha....nice list. I have one addition, maybe in the drama section, or comedy. RESEVOIR DOGS!!!1 That is the ultimate soundtrack...I wonder if you just forgot about it, or just totally disagree. The cop getting his ear cut off while listening to "stuck in the middle with you" is morbidly funny, would you agree???
A great list - not an easy one to put together either, I imagine. Got me thinking what I would put on mine.... High Fidelity would certainly make an appearance, probably something from Ferris Beuller's Day Off, maybe the Crow, and I second cochranetown with the Tarantino - although I think I would go for something off Pulp Fiction. Good stuff.
Good list!!! I think I would have put a selection from Empire Records on there but I agree with 2 & 3 whole-heartedly!!!
Love it!
Maybe next time i`ll create a larger list and include Resevoir Dogs, and Empire Records...ohh and Back To The Future...
haha yes, BTTF!!! You just can't do anything right man. Its all good though. I'll still hang out with you
Ok I AGREE WITH ALL YOUR PICS and erik's addition is ALSO very well done. i'd like to make a couple additions...ok in the movie "say something" when he's holdin up the old school gheto blaster blaring " in your arms" by peter gabriel. ALSO n the movie Love and Basketball...at the end ( MY FAV PART) when they play " you made a fool of me"....freakin great. Loved your list tho
This is nice. Thanks!
