Inspired by this buzzfeed article can you name a scene which has the perfect music with it that just makes it so memorable.

Mine has to be from Glee, where Blaine Anderson (Darren Kriss) sings Cough Syrup whilst Karofsky attempts suicide.

It’s hauntingly beautiful

This isn't a pleasant one

I don't know what it's called but the song her husband puts on before he has sex with her in sleeping with the enemy, it's awful and has me feeling all uneasy when I hear it

There's a scene in Orphan Black where all the clones are dancing to Water Prayer by Adham Shaikh and they are dancing all in their own unique ways. It's so good.

The trailer for You season 2. Creep. Fits perfectly

Goodbye to You in Buffy.

Full of Grace by Sarah McLachlan - Buffy

Prayer of St Francis - Buffy

Blue by Angie Hart - Buffy

That show had all the best music! I love the way they got so many bands actually playing in the Bronze.

More lighthearted, but the section of Stardust that's set to the can-can. It's fantastic how they've set the action to the crescendos.

This scene from Dark, using the haunting song Familiar by Agnes Obel. I won’t spoil the story if you haven’t seen it, but it’s well worth it. On Netflix now.

MsEllany · 10/08/2020 19:14

I also love the music in Atomic Blonde but I couldn’t say which is my favourite (mainly coz I can’t remember!)

MsEllany · 10/08/2020 19:34

I’m well into your thread @Soubriquet Grin

I’ve always thought the song at the end of 28 Days Later was brilliantly placed. From about 3 mins in

BarcelonaFreddie · 10/08/2020 19:38

Every episode of Homes Under The Hammer.
Often makes me chuckle with the music they choose whilst showing the houses.

Johnny Cash singing The Man Comes Around at the end of Dawn Of The Dead (2004) .

Seashore2018 · 10/08/2020 20:07

Always thought the opening to Clueless when Kids in America is playing was a good choice.

vampirethriller · 10/08/2020 20:11

The bit in Muriel's Wedding where she tries on the first dress and Dancing Queen is playing instrumentally (is that a word?) always makes me feel emotional.

irredeemablyyours · 10/08/2020 20:16

Over the rainbow playing when Mark Greene dies in ER

DubaiDublin73 · 10/08/2020 22:48

This from Hannibal

DianaT1969 · 11/08/2020 00:18

Emma Thompson's crying scene in Love Actually to Both Sides by Joni Mitchell.

Soubriquet · 11/08/2020 02:00

I knew someone would say that scene from Love Actually Grin

But you’re right. It’s perfect

Got to agree @Saucery
Think it fits perfectly with all the action and devastation.

nottoday3000 · 11/08/2020 17:38

Handmaids tale kate bush's cloud busting playing while the girls clean up the commanders murder !

teaandcustardcreamsx · 11/08/2020 18:28

This scene from supergirl I say that like I’m not about to cry every time I hear mad world

This one too

OTOH, I absolutely HATE it when the vampire diaries uses good/unpopular music, going to listen to it on YouTube and seeing “STELENA” and “OMG DELENA” is so fucking annoying

doadeer · 11/08/2020 18:55

Not 100% what you're asking but if you've seen the series Carnival Row there's the most haunting song in it about Orlando Bloom from his mother who gave him up

doadeer · 11/08/2020 18:59

I always thought the music in Cruel Intentions was just perfect! Bittersweet Symphony 👌

The scene in Scent of a Woman to Per Una Cabeza (sp?) was wonderful!

Only You by Yazoo starting up in The Office when Dawn comes back for Tim.

MozzchopsThirty · 11/08/2020 19:29

Sia - Breathe Me at the finale of Six Feet Under

Just perfect and always makes me cry

Redannie118 · 11/08/2020 19:31

Life on Mars- playing as Sam Tyler jumps offthe building will pretty much haunt me forever.
All the music choices in Handmaids tale
The wonder years- the soundtrack was as important to the show as the characters
Moon river in sex and the city when Miranda has just had her baby and Carrie sees the first autumn leaf fall. They dedicate that episode to New York as a tribute to 9/11, and the words come up as the song plays. Very moving.

Spied · 11/08/2020 19:37

The opening scenes of The Shining when there's the car driving the winding roads up the snowy mountains.
I don't know the music but it's absolutely amazing and absolutely perfect.
