I can’t claim it’s the very best but one that always comes to mind for me as a damn good one is Blinded By The Light in Blow. Love how they used it. I’ve loved that song since I was a kid but yet I now can’t hear that opening keyboard without thinking of that scene.

Good one but I like the lead in music to the opening song better.

I know it's a TV show but can't help myself. Breaking Bad knew what they were doing.

Freebird was more iconic in Forrest Gump

Ride of the Valkyries in Apocalypse Now is easily my answer

That is a great one.

Something about Moving in Stereo during the Phoebe Cates top off scene in Fast Times was perfect.

This Must Be the Place rolling in the credits of Wall Street was great. Or, Everybody Wants to Rule the World in Real Genius.
