re: Best Marriage Of Music To Movie Scene.

7. Cruel Intentions - Colorblind: I also have an irrational love for this movie, though I'm not certain it's totally irrational. Either way, this scene is brilliant; the song, by Counting Crows, is fantastic; and the two share a symbiotic relationship. I'm impressed.

6. Love Actually Ending - God Only Knows: Ain't nothing irrational here. This scene is awesome, the song is awesome, and the movie as a whole is awesome. Fact, fact, and fact. Hugh Grant as Prime Minister? Liam Neeson meeting Claudia Schiffer at an elementary school function? So much to like. In fact, I debated putting another Love Actually scene in this list, but then thought it too gratuitous. But do google "love actually all I want for christmas".

4. Almost Famous - Tiny Dancer: "You ARE home." I love you, Kate Hudson. I don't care how many rock stars you've been with. Now at this point you're probably asking: why isn't Bohemian Rhapsody from Wayne's World on this list? The answer is this: Bohemian Rhapsody from Wayne's World isn't on this list because Almost Famous did with Tiny Dancer everything that Wayne's World did with Bohemian Rhapsody -- including the part where they made a great song that wasn't famous enough way more famous -- and did it all way better. And so I consider the Bohemian Rhapsody scene from Wayne's World to be a poor man's version of the following scene, even if they did it first.

2. Boogie Nights -- The "Sister Christian" Scene: This is only the single most intense movie scene ever. Would it work just as well with another song? Well, I guess we'll never know. But this Night Ranger classic fits the time period and it's awesome and so is the scene. If you haven't seen this one -- and you're okay with adult language and themes -- give it a google if . And if you've already seen it, you'll know it's awesome and will want to watch it again.

1. 8 Mile -- Final Rap Battles: Bonus points here for the music being not only prevalent and performed by the actual characters in the movie, but actually serving as the climax to an excellent movie. There is something very cool about rap battles, and this one was beautifully played by Mr. Jimmy Smith Jr. (aka Bunny Rabbit). "Now while he stands tough, notice that this man did not have his hands up." Here is an oral history of the rap battles, which is safe for work. LINK The battles themselves likely aren't (due to language), so check them out at home.

The movie: Easy Rider
The song: The Weight/The Band
