Best use ever of a song in a motion picture?

If you have the correct answer, what's the point of a thread?


It's This Woman's Work by Kate Bush from She's Having a Baby.

You've had your ear cut off.. that sucks dog.


also, I Can't Stop Loving You in Metropolis & We'll Meet Again in Strangelove are legit way up there

The answer is Kingsman and Freebird. (not joking).

Nothing w/Marky Mark is the best anything, unless it's a contest for best beating of a Vietnamese grocer

THIS kind of revolutionized the use of songs in films

A Clockwork Orange should be mentioned.

Mammy - Al Jolson from The Jazz Singer

The Jazz Singer is a 1927 American musical film. As the first feature-length motion picture with not only a synchronized recorded music score, but also lip-synchronous singing and speech in several isolated sequences, its release heralded the commercial ascendance of sound films and the decline of the silent film era.

(before first full length talkie - and yes i'm old - but not that old)

... if that was so - you'd exclude Friends (movie) with song of same name, which was basically the movie.

Every song from the soundtrack of Easy Rider:

Man of Constant Sorrow -from- O Brother, Where Art Thou ?

or

Dancin in the Rain - to tag/place every musical in the discussion

(although 'This is The End - Apocalypse Now" was an excellent choice)

Not my favorite movie by a long shot but hard to argue with "Unchained Melody" in Ghost.
