Music in films, that isn't made for the film, but makes you think of the film.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Creedence Clearwater Revival's Fortunate Son => Every Vietnam war film and TV program ever

Beastie Boys - Sabotage has "non specific war montage" all over it as well.

[Mr Banlon]

Werewolves of London and Color of Money.
The Wanderer and The Wanderers

[Sebastian Cobb]

Nowhere to Run to.



Actually that might be an exception as they made a version for the film. Failing on me own terms here.

[mothman]

Pixies. Fight club.

But also - now - The Leftovers (albeit TV).

Starálfur by Sigur Rós from The Life Aquatic.

And Njósnavélin and Ágætis Byrjun from Vanilla Sky.

[greenman]

Those songs were written for the films. Huey Lewis and American Psycho on the other hand...

Kingsmen using Give It Up in a similar fashion, playing on the inherent yuppie sociopathy of the original, it is music to murder to.

[Mr Banlon]

Get Down Tonight in Sid & Nancy

[Absorb the anus burn]

Twist And Shout always takes me to Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

[Blumf]

Twist And Shout always takes me to Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Yellow's Oh Yeah

The Vanishing Point soundtrack is a soundtrack I don't own but would rather like. I don't own many soundtrack lp's and don't go out of my way to get them but am slowly accidentally forming a corner in my record collection.

[EOLAN]

Any Roy Orbison song with David Lynch films. Well except the most famous one that is linked to a Garry Marshall film.

[touchingcloth]

Prokofiev and The Apprentice.

[Gulftastic]

C & C Music Factory's 'Gonna Make You Sweat' takes me right to the steel mill in Homer's Phobia.

We work hard, we play hard.

[beanheadmcginty]

Ride of the Valkyries in Apocalypse Now

[Blumf]

Ride of the Valkyries in Apocalypse Now

[phantom_power]

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go is forever linked in my mind now with supermodels having a petrol fight

[An tSaoi]

Prokofiev and The Apprentice.

Prokofiev and Caligula.

[mothman]

Battle Without Honour Or Humanity predates Kill Bill pt. 1 I believe, but then it itself has almost become this track better know for being played at sporting events (and ironically in subsequent films and TV).

[Brundle-Fly]

Creedence Clearwater Revival's Fortunate Son => Every Vietnam war film and TV program ever

Apparently, a bit of a myth.

It's true, when Family Guy did that sketch, I remember thinking that I'd not actually heard it in many Vietnam films at all...

[Blumf]

Wonder how it became a 'fact'. Did one of the war documentaries use it?

[Disc_4]

Singing in the rain - A clockwork orange
Goodbye Horses - silence of the lambs
Bohemian Rhapsody - Wayne's world
Stuck in the middle with you - Reservoir Dogs
The End - Apocalypse Now

Sorry if any of these have been said already...

[Dex Sawash]

I've seen the last few minutes of Cruel Intentions a few times on TV, Bittersweet Symphony makes me think of that shitty movie.

I had it in my head that Time of the Season by Zombies was always used in Vietnam films, but looking into it I can't actually find anything that used it other than a Nam flashback in an early episode of South Park.

[EOLAN]

Ride of the Valkyries in Apocalypse Now

Goes with "Birth of A Nation" for me.

Talking of seasons, Season Of The Witch by Donavon is used a helluva lot in thrillers.

[studpuppet]

Ride of the Valkyries in Apocalypse Now

The End - Apocalypse Now

Of course it's The End - Ride Of the Valkyries makes me think of, well, Wagner really. Whereas The End makes me think of The opening and closing of Apocalypse Now, rather than The Doors.

[studpuppet]

Yellow's Oh Yeah

This, but from The Secret Of My Success.

[studpuppet]

Iron Butterfly's In A Gadda Da Vida at the denouement of Manhunter.

[BRen]

Kavinsky - Nightcall and College & Electric Youth - A Real Hero are inextricably linked to Drive and always will be for me.

Hurdy Gurdy Man is used to chilling effect in Zodiac
