Sookie/Eric sex scene to I wish I was the Moon Tonight-Neko Case perfect for them bc it's sweet and sad at the same time.

Dirty Dancing-Feel Like Crying

Dirty Dancing-Time of my life the song that inspired every woman to take dance lessons.


also, every song in Romeo & Juliet was perfectly used.

That's another good choice from television.

Another would be The Shield - Bawitdaba (Kid Rock) for the concluding scene of the pilot. That's the point when you knew it was going to be a different kind of show.

For a sitcom, it is tougher - but the entire series of WKRP (at least with the original music) was one of the very best - kind of a merger of the film F.M. with M*A*S*H and the Mary Tyler Moore Show, a series based around an AOR/Top 40 station in the 70s had to have good music.

One of the best examples from WKRP is Hot Blooded - Foreigner, while the nerdy newsman Les Nessman was suiting up for his date with Jennifer (the hot blonde receptionist played by Loni Anderson) to include a Shatner-esque "hair helmet" hairpiece. Great television...
