[Oblivian]

Probably one of my favorite scenes from a movie:

 

[Kimchii]

Good thread!

I remembered a time when TV series got a lot of crap and no real movie stars wanted to be involved with TV. But now it's a different status and I want to squeeze in some TV as well.

Hannibal


Game of Thrones

 

[Sunnyvale TP]

Kingpin and Disco Inferno

 

[Canadian Kicker]

Can not hear this song anymore without remembering this movie

 

[Hyperglide]

And

Casino right? Damn came here to post the Animals. Knew someone would beat me to it just not this early.

Does TV count?

Sons of Anarchy

 

[Kal-El]

 

[Goonerview]

When I think of Goodfellas I think of this scene:



The way the music cuts in with De Niro’s “death stare” is perfect.

 

[GergreG]

Top Gun - you've lost that loving feeling
Trainspotting - born slippy

 

[Goonerview]

Top Gun - you've lost that loving feeling
Trainspotting - born slippy

Good one. Classic scene!

 

[Sweater of AV]

Lots of good ones. Focusing on songs that weren’t made for the movie, a couple off the top of my head.

Just a perfect day...

 

[StonedLemur]

She's so damn fine.

 

[StonedLemur]

Big Lebowski dream sequence... I'll literally never hear this song again without picturing that movie/scene.
