None of these threads is complete without the quintessential movie music video sequence:
nothing sums up a decade of cheese better than this 2:30 second clip

Boogie Nights Sister Christian/Jesse's Girl/99 Red Balloons scene.

No time for caution. Interstellar is pretty good.
This. As an in-theater experience, especially 70mm IMAX, this is my #1.

One of the best scenes, but not really a montage.
Which is a good thing for PTA.
Montages seemed to be a cinematic technique to displace time artistically between the same time periods a faux past and present...In the 60s. Used sparingly and artistically.
80s revived the montage as a music video to simply shorten time, used cheaply and deliberately to move the story along quickly...so guy and girl could meet and boom in 45 seconds they are a couple... Because montage, ice cream,, water slides, fun time at the fair. They didn't have to get to know each other, cause montage.
This shortcut filmmaking sort of died with the 80s. Collapsing time for no purpose but to bring two people together or to move ahead in the story without working it through or justifying changed in attitude or often people.
The best montages were the ones where intersecting cuts had nothing to do with each other....Just random shite.
Which is why the 80s has ridiculous but awesome montages.
Like arse sliding. Or the old we're ice skating and then you dab my nose later at the funhouse with one scoop of vanilla ice cream cone...And then we are riding horses laughing and finally we share a pizza like lady and the tramp after escaping the rain to a roadside a diner in the middle of nowhere.
80s love affairs lasted one red Vines. Then it was back to the main plot. Like Kung Fu fighting, jet flying or a break dancing competition.

Those people are an embarrassment to the white race.

I absolutely loved hearing Beastie Boys in Star Trek in the car chase scene. That was sweet.

Movie - over the top
Winner takes all
Stallone is preparing for arm wrestling championship and they are introducing all of the contenders.
"I just turn my hat around and something clicks."

The music should also either emphasize or complement the point of the montage (which Team America points out to the nth degree).
Here are two from the same movie that really illustrate a good montage (and yes, from the mid-80s).
Earlier montage
2nd montage with such 80s music
