Are there any songs that you associate with something in a movie

Whenever I hear Donovan's Atlantis, I think of Joe Pesci, Robert Deniro, and Ray Liotta kicking the shit of Frank Vincent in Goodfellas.

She's said on numerous tiMEs that Goodfellas is like one of our favorite movies, and to be honest, I like that song.

2. Yeah

and from the same movie, I think of Harry Nilsson's "Jump Into the Fire" whenever I'm too coked up and being tailed by choppers.

6. So many.

Whenever I hear "Sister Christian", I think of that horribly uncomfortable scene in Boogie Nights.

And when I hear the beautifully haunting Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven, I can't help but think of the scene in Interview With The Vampire when Lestat comes back the first time.

There are many more, but those are two off the top of my head.

22. That's funny you say Sister Christian,

because I equate "Jessie's Girl" with that same scene. It is uncomfortable, but I also think it's one of the best single scenes in cinema history. I've cued up the DVD several times just to watch that scene.

24. Agreed.

It's a wonderfully powerful scene.

And now that you mention it, I equate "Jessie's Girl" with that scene as well. Funny that, I had heard both of those songs a hundred times before that movie came out, yet that's what I think of when I hear them now.

14. Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion" is "Dazed and Confused"

and Simple Minds' "Don't you forget about me" is "The Breakfast Club".

26. A Clockwork Orange: Rossini

The Overture to Rossini's Thieving Magpie in Clockwork Orange, as the rival gang rapes a girl then brawls with Alex's droogs in the abandoned casino theater. Very surprising, textually dense comment on the visual. You have the opera's old world, high culture cruelty and the aristocratic entertainment derived thereby (gotsta know what the Thieving Magpie is about, and bear in mind where this action takes place) contrasted with post-Enlightenment, proletarian cruelty and entertainment derived thereby. Or is it more of a comparison of their similar cruelties?
