ceriSwiped from Jonquil:
Name five effective uses of songs in movies or tv shows.
#1. In Lost Highway, when the protagonists first notice each other, Lou Reed's cover of "This Magic Moment":
#2. In Until the End of the World, as the characters fly deep into the Australian interior, a nuclear explosion in orbit kills their plane's electronics. Peter Gabriel's "Blood of Eden" accompanies them to the ground (and yes, she's been handcuffed to the plane door, and they don't have the key):
#. In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, James Horner's wonderful music for the Mutara Nebula battle scene. I couldn't easily decide between something from this or The Rocketeer, the two movies that I think show off Horner's generic action music to best effect, but settled on this as the one where it really lodged in my head:
#4. In the Children of Dune mini-series, Brian Tyler went far, far beyond the call of duty in actually writing a song in Fremen for the scene cross-cutting between Chani giving birth and Paul's agents rounding up the conspirators:
#5. In Koyaanisqatsi...okay, the whole movie, but I love the moonrise:
