  • Music that has enhanced a film scene

    Was watching Kermode doing a program about the run up to the Oscars and was reminded about the way that certain tracks and music scores just nail a scene in to your brain.
    Two (for me) for starters .

    Platoon – final scene

    The Graduate – final scene

    Grosse point blank, a collection of songs that created a nostalgic tone.

    and the original star wars movies were perfectly scored IMO (even though I am not a fan of the films).

    Grosse point blank.

    In my head the Ultimart firefight (and subsequent shop explosion) has Live and Let Die playing loudly over it. But I just checked on YouTube and it doesn’t! Excellent soundtrack, excellent film.

    There will be Blood

    That’s a great example of music enhancing an entire film and not just a scene.

    A couple of Hanz Zimmer ones stand out for me.

    Sea Wall from Bladerunner 2049.
    Mombassa from Inception.

    I’m sure there’s a scene in Bullitt where he’s in an underground garage. There just this BASS noise. It’s brilliant.

    The opening scene of Justice League with Sigrid.

    It pretty much was the high spot of the film sadly.

    On a slight tangent there must quite a lot of films that are famous/popular/well known for the music, some of the films already mentioned would apply

    Jaws
    Deliverance
    Close Encounters
    Rocky
    Omen

    I would have agreed with you, I wonder if the American and UK soundtracks were tweaked for their respective audiences. I believe that does sometimes happen (although not as much now in the world of downloaded distribution).

    Deliverance – Ah yes, Ry Cooder. Absolutely brilliant – see also
    “Paris, Texas”.

    Dead Man. Neil Young’s guitar is just mesmerising.

    Would agree with Star Wars, but then there is a reason John Williams has been scoring movies for decades. Either Free Fallin or Secret Garden in Jerry Maguire spring to mind. Also AC DC’s Thunder in Planes 2, gets my boys bouncing round the room.

    Unchained Melody in Ghost.

    Seriously though – anything by John Williams or Hans Zimmerman. I heard the opening bit to Star Wars on the radio the other day and the hairs stood up on the back of my neck – it still gets me every time.

    The Adagietto from Mahler’s 5th Symphony – “Death in Venice”.
    Beethoven’s 9th Symphony – “A Clockwork Orange”.
    The Man in Me (Bob Dylan), Dead Flowers (Townes van Zandt) – “The Big Lebowski” (but not the Eagles man).

    Interstellar , docking scene

    I’d say all of it, from the very moment it starts right to the end credits.

    Good call with Bladerunner 2049 it merges perfectly throughout almost as if it was part of the sound effects. Has to be watched at loud, very loud.

    Drive (2011) – Opening Credits Scene – Car Chase

    Awesome soundtrack, very good film too.

    For me, a film that was utter gash, and completely made by the soundtrack – Highlander.

    pretty much all films are enhanced by music, question is whether you remember it or not. I’d struggle to think of a film with rubbish music 🙂 anyway
