What do you guys think are some of the best uses of music in film?
I gotta say Lynch and Scorcesse are two of the best at using music in their films. A lot of the most memorable moments in their movies are punctuated by music, to the extent that it's hard to later hear those songs without remembering their respective scenes.
I guess i'd also say Tarrantino does it pretty well too.
This scene in Badlands is also a favorite of mine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gK2Y5H1jdU

Another great scene.
Eno's music in 28 days later was just fucking amazing. I guess that's what happens when you bring in a god of sound like Eno

Pretty cool scene desu
>>71673131
can't stand this,this entire proto-manic pixie girl with a forced 2quirky4u posturing.
If we are talking about music not soundtrack, I have to agree about Tarantino, even though I consider him pleb-tier, that is something he can do for sure, and he's one of the best, if not the best.
>>71673264
FUCK YOU.
you can have this bitch instead. Or rather her character in the movie... which represents every woman EVER
>>71673337
Neither of these constitute every woman that ever existed.Maybe in west, but not where i grew up.We have our fare share of cunts but not in form of living memes .
>>71673264
Idk i think it was early enough in film that it gets a pass. It's not like those were the well established tropes they are today. Plus it's a tragic story when all is said and done, it's not like it's your modern hollywood pixie girl who makes male protagonist confront his internal fears. Plus i think she's a good actress. And the movie had decent things to say, like the conversation she has with that old man in the cafe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSNPpssruFY
Honestly I've never watched the film but I really like the song
>>71673336
Yes, music, not original soundtrack is what i originally meant, but there have been some interesting and good original scores also posted in the thread.
But i'd agree, i don't exactly thing Tarrantino is up there with the greats in terms of film, but he's definitely adept at choosing the right track in the right scene. Pretty much every movie he's made has some distinctive and memorable song that sticks with you after watching it.
>>71673445
No, actually my post was meant to be blatantly misogynist.
Fortunately, it doesn't matter where you live: There are cunts and decent women everywhere.
Lynch's use of music in Twin Peaks is fucking stellar. The amount of things he can evoke with lik 5 tracks that repeat over and over again and NEVER STOP.
LotR has one of the best soundtracks in cinema. It evokes LotR so well that you could probably associate it with LotR even if you never saw the movie and only read the book.
Drive enhances the fairy-tale feel with its soundtrack very well, with both the choice of songs and the soundtrack.
Birdman wouldn't be half the movie it is without its OST.
The Third Man speaks for itself:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oEsWi88Qv0
the entire soundtrack played on some weird thing called a Zither.
>>71673472
>It's not like those were the well established tropes they are today.
Fair point,but that's exactly why i used "proto",also i have came across this in many of the french new wave cinemas.
However i have to admit that i haven't seen this movie yet,this phenomenon(much like the geek phenomenon) and the way it got popularized in our time often puts me off .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_VEQI2nS48
Mulholland Drive is full of memorable uses of music. The casting scene is fucking great, but i mean the whole rendition of Roy orbison's Crying in spanish is a huge part of the movie, and in a way the centerpiece when it comes to dissecting the movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHQnb3HS4hc
Lynch in general does a great job of combining either mundane moments with memorable music to make them seem heavenly, almost like memories you keep in mind. Sometimes you remember something that made you happy, and it's like it had it's own soundtrack. He chooses the perfect song to accompany those images.
Another lynch favorite of mine, and also featuring Roy Orbison is Blue velvet ,the use of In dreams : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtjiVTSs8pc
Fucking great, seeing him use a lamp as a microphone, the light casting a glow on his face as he pantomimes it.
Then later the same song plays as a woman dances atop a car as Frank beats the protagonist in front of the woman he's beginning to love , all while the woman keeps dancing :

Yeah i got that, but maybe i'm wrong, but it seems foolish to be put off by something that occurred in the past because it eventually led to something else. At least in art.
It's like removing all intention out of something, because it inadvertently opened the doors to more of the same, just exagerated and without care.
I think you should watch it m8. Good movie. I know what you mean about it being common in french films, just like how a lot of them feature women in prostitution, and they're struggles with it, and the men who struggle loving women like that. Which Vivre Sa vie also does. But hating them would be like hating dancing in general, because a paraplegic is no good at it.
There is good and bad in everything, the oversaturation just makes it more time consuming to sort it all out.
The ending of The Grey is a bit special, and although I'd heard the music before in Ink I couldn't imagine it with any other score.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8W44OvV8mQ
It just suits The Grey so well. It sounds cold, it's slow-paced and holy fuck does it get me evry tiem

the soundtrack was indeed pretty awesome.
Too bad the movie itself got so fucking boring after some forty minutes. It was really like "WHOA, this looks fuckin awesome!" up until the point when Jeff Bridges' character gets re-introduced. From then on it was "Yeah, this still looks awesome... and that club scene was neat... but why do I know EXACTLY how each and every scene will play out?"

holy shit had forgotten about Half Nelson, and totally agree, that scene with BSS playing is perfect.
>>71676353
Another perfect scene, i guess i'd also throw Wes into the list of directors who know how to use music to make a scene. HE actually does something very similar to the vid i posted in the OP in Moonrise Kingdom with the two kids dancing around a record on the beach. Really brought back shades of Badlands.

feel you m8, i've noticed lately that if i'm home watching a movie, my attention span has gone to shit due to the internet. So i always take breaks and pause a movie to do something else, read some news, checkout sports or read watch a youtube video or something. It's fucking insane, it happened so slowly and gradually that i didn't notice it until now that it's much worse.
