    I completely agree with Fight Club. That was the first movie that came to my mind.

    Notice how it says “OUR favorite music movie moments”, not “THE BEST music movie moments”. I think this is a well put-together list.

  • Confusion

    I feel like the Fight Club ending epitomizes how a song can shape a movie’s ending. And I completely agree with Leroy, the film Warrior uses The Nationals song About Today at the end and it’s quite moving to say the least.

    Fight Club was the first thing that came to my mind as well, but Wes Anderson has to be my favorite. Pretty much all his films have a ton of perfect music moments.

  • Leslie

    All of Requiem for a Dream?

  • cav

    The drop in steve aoki’s pursuit of happiness remix in project x. Fuckin epic

  • @benjamintowersx

    The use of ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ at the end of Cruel Intentions is just perfect
