Can't believe we have one of these for TV but not for film ... so I'm starting one. Here are my two favorites, by far, which both happen to feature the same actor (probably not coincidentally): (starting at 2 minutes in) More specifically referring to diegetic stuff and reeeeally not referring to moments with original score, though I'm not gonna limit it so feel free to post whatever. EDIT: From now, please keep your choices to one per post, please, so that this thread is actually able to load.

A couple more: I strive to imitate this scene in some way in real life... There are so many in this film ... but this one has always been my favorite ... it's just magic.

The greatest use of pop music ever in film, period - Johnny Ace's Pledging My Love in Mean Streets - the last time there is peace, safety, normalcy, a chance at anything at all. It tellingly comes in between a scene of chaos and the ending.
It is beyond brilliant and now almost 50 years later serves as a reminder of how little music is thought of in relation to story, plot or theme. Whenever somebody tells you Scorsese ain't that great just roll your eyes, tell them you enjoy Ferrara too but come on and play them this ......... that should do it.

Okay so this thread might have been better in theory, lol. Can barely even load it anymore.
From now I'm gonna institute the same rule as the "gifs of your favorite movies" thread: Only one per post, please.

here's one the police station fire from Three Billboards set to Renée Fleming’s gorgeous rendition of "The Last Rose of Summer." Still one of the best cinematic moments of 2017

If you're familiar with the piece of music used here (Die Moldau by Smetana, from a set of symphonic poems), you might know that it's intended to musically evoke the Bohemian river and its movement through different landscapes. The music basically depicts the gradually changing character of the river, like the fact that it starts as a small spring and eventually transforms into rapids. In the film, I love how the initial musical metaphor of the flowing river is sort of mapped onto the flow of time, which correlates to the transformation of the three brothers as they as mature. Malick is not only thematizing temporality visually, but also musically. One of my favorite scenes in the film, and it's just exhilarating to watch and listen to.

nothing's loading for me in this thread I won't link to videos because these are well-known moments (and because this thread has gone off the deep end with links lmao), but anyways here's what I could dig up! -- Carl Orff's "Gassenhauer" from Badlands, set to our outlaws existing far away from civilization in their very own Eden. -- "Goodbye May Seem Forever" from from Fox and the Hound, the bit where she drives Todd to the forest. This is the first movie I remember watching that made outright sob, and it was because of this goddamn song. -- "Feeeeeeeed the Birds" from Mary Poppins. Right in the feels, every time, especially the choral reprise that plays during Mr. Banks's trek to the bank at the end. That part also has some of the movie's best shots. -- The "Promontory" sequence from Last of the Mohicans. Still gives me chills -- The orgy sequence from Eyes Wide Shut set to Jocelyn's Pook's "Migrations" -- "Cruella de Vil" from 101 Dalmatians. Roger you shady bastard! -- "We'll Meet Again" from Dr. Strangelove
-- Faye Wong's "Dreamlover" from Chungking Express. I think this bit played she was cleaning Tony Leung's apartment and when I heard it I DIED -- "Climb Every Mountain" from Sound of Music. In a movie packed with Rodgers & Hammerstein bangers, the one that always moved me the most was this one. Especially when that choral reprise kicks in at the end...ooof -- that synth rendition of "Ode to Joy" from A Clockwork Orange, specifically that fun little ditty that plays during the Ludovico treatment. -- "Sweet Transvestite" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, because someone had to say it. -- "Born Slippy" from the Trainspotting ending. I can't listen to the song on its own, but damn if it didn't help to create one of the most iconic ending sequences ever. I'll maybe post some more if I can think of some. Only iconic ones

nothing's loading for me in this thread Yeaaahhh ... same here. Wish I had thought of the one per post rule from the outset. At this point I might have to encourage people to edit their old posts and spread them out a little more? I dunno.
