What are your favorites?

Off the top of my head these are some of mine:

Promentory (Last of the Mohicans Final Scenes)

(The scene of Duncan being burned alive has always disturbed me ever since I first saw it when I was a kid.)

Mad World - From Donnie Darko

And my all-time favorite probably:

The Ecstasy of Gold - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Cemetery Scene)

By no means do I think these are the best, just some good ones that came to mind. What are some of y'alls? Would be interested to hear what people like.

Well done, good choice...I didn't see that movie until about 3 or 4 months ago actually. I have been missing out.

I really like the use of Lou Reed - Perfect Day in Trainspotting.

Host of the Seraphim in the Mist.


The only soundtrack of the entire film, and it really sinks the despair inducing sights the characters see home.

The Walking Dead does an amazing job using updated covers and original compositions of classic American/Bluesy music to really set the tone of the series to the point you could almost classify the show as the first attempt at Southern Gothic literature as Televison.
