is there a movie that has used popular music to set tone and mood better than Goodfellas?
The scene when Henry is driving around, whacked out on coke and the helicopter is following him starts with Jump in the Fire, has Magic Bus, Monkey Man just an amazing scene.

It is outstanding. I would also say that American Hustle should be mentioned.

There have been a number of films that were musically-themed that did an excellent job - Good Morning Vietnam , Almost Famous, to name a couple (and, to credit them Barry Levinson, with his variety television experience, and Cameron Crowe, his first career was as a rock journalist, typically did great work with popular music in their films).
But, among his gifts, Marty has a connection to musicians for whom he also made films, The Rolling Stones (Jagger, especially) and The Band, just to name 2. So, for a big budget filmmaker, Marty is way up there in this regard.
