Default Movie Scenes and Music

There is a point when music and movie scenes/images create an unforgettable symbiotic relationship and it is actually very rare when it works but when it does then it really works.


There is no dialogue at all. The music HAS to drive the narrative and this just works brilliantly.

French chic. Both whimsical and fantastical.

Yes you have all seen it a million times and I am not a big Tarantino film but he nailed it in this scene. Tenfold.

Oasis have never sounded any cooler.

I totally agree. I actually never realized that was Oasis, but that scene it without exaggeration one of absolute favorites in any movie ever. The way the film and music fit together is utterly perfect.

God I love that movie. I may have to put that one on tonight.

Here's another one of my favorites, from Repo Man. This song, "Reel Ten" by the Plugz, is so haunting and beautiful and just fits the scene so well. Unfortunately the very beginning and very end are cut off in this video but you get the idea.

I loved this scene so much and I thought it was a great ending....ty Clint Mansell

The best part is when it picks up as soon as he pulls the plugs at the same time.

If we're speaking reservoir dogs. Hilarious scene:



My first taste of Ligeti ever, later became one of my favorite compositions:

Exactly the same for me

Speaking of Kubrick, he successfully married scenes with great music from several composers, Krzysztof Penderecki, Bela Bartok, the already mentioned Ligeti, in The Shining.

Here's the beginning of Penderecki's Polymorphia that greatly enhanced this scene already full of tension

^I think this composition is also used in Exorcist, but I can't remember in what scene exactly. I'll have to look for it.

Béla Bartók

How can I not include this?

Absolutely stunning.

Simple but effective.

Another absolutely classic example:

This is open to your own interpretation to whatever the scene makes you feel. Or you might not like it at all.

all of these are great examples!

here are a couple that really stick out for me


i could not imagine the opening of The Outsiders without the brilliance of Van Morrison in the background....the song just creates the felling of pure badness....still to this day when i hear the original or any of the covers i think of Dallas Winston and just how much he hates kids


the opening "music" that Tobe Hooper produced for his film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre....is freaking scary...its just that simple....mixed with the sounds and the flashbulb images....it stands alone....i had the pleasure of getting to see this on the big screen a few years ago....and during the opening credits you could of heard a pin drop


i think one of the main reasons that Suspiria is such a cult classic is because of the amazing score by Goblin....the entire thing is just amazing....this is the first 8 or so minutes of the movie.....pay attention to right around 6:55....the music with the image of the women running through the forest is perfect horror
