TV/Movie scenes accompanied by the perfect music (trigger warning)

[Soubriquet]

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

video clip

YES!!

I love that episode and the music is sensational, starting low and becoming more frenetic. Perfection.

And also.... BOOM! 😀

Tarantino stuff is good for it. The opening to Reservoir Dogs especially.

Roxanne - Moulin Rouge

At the end of Philadelphia when they are playing his home video reel. So beautiful. Also, when he is playing opera to Denzels Washington's character.

The scene in Gavin and Stacy when Ness is having the baby and Gavin and Stacy meet and Gravity is playing... Lovely

The final montage at the end of the OC is great. Also love the montage at the end of Scrubs with 'The Book of Love'!

Agreed @Umbridge34

Schitts Creek

The scene in 13 Reasons Why when Hannah decides to kill herself and they play Ultravox's Vienna. It's so powerful.

Agree with this .

Also, scotty, The Affair

Normal People Episode 2- that montage with Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap Playing over the top.

Breathe Me by Sia during the finale of Six Feet Under. Most moving piece of tv ever.

Any of the Kate Bush Songs used in the Handmaid’s Tale.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge's sister, Isobel, composed the music for Fleabag. Her choral music for the hot priest scenes was absolutely perfect.

Ooh yes Fleabag! The very opening scene in the tube train, and the very closing scene with Alabama Shakes. Fab.

Big Little Liars has great music with lots of moody beach shots from all their amazing houses.

Pulp Fiction when Uma Thurman dances to girl you’ll be a woman soon before taking an overdose.

At the beginning of the 90s version of Romeo and Juliet when they cut to a brooding Leonardo Di Caprio for the first time and play Radiohead. Also Des’ree’s Kissing You and the choral version of Everybody’s Free.

I loved Angel by Massive Attack in Snatch, when Brad Pitt is punched in the fight. Just the best music to that film.

When the cast sing Wild World in Skins when Tony has been knocked down by a bus.
Another Cat Stephen's one: If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out from Harold a d Maude.

Lux Aeterna at the end of Requiem for a Dream. The whole soundtrack is incredible, but that music with the final few minutes of the film was superbly brutal

Maybe don't watch that just before sleep, like I just have 🙄

This Woman's Work by Kate Bush in The Handmaid's Tale. Shivers every time - music starts at around 1.15:

Oh and the Homeland Season 2 trailer - I know its basically an advert not a show but my god it was fucking SUBLIME. I remember watching it the first time then I kept rewatching it.

Ohh great thread! I immediately thought of the scene in Scrubs where Dr Cox loses several patients at the same time due to a mistake he made and How To Save A Life by The Fray plays, it made me cry my eyes out when I first watched it!

And the placement of 'Who Wants To Live Forever' in Bohemian Rhapsody makes me cry still when I watch, it's gut-wrenching.

The 'Whistle Down the Wind' music, with the theme echoed throughout, is perfect, but when it plays in the final scene, just brings the tears streaming every single time and reduces me to a wreck!

Also agree with others about the scenes in Monster, Amadeus and Requiem for a Dream - all so powerful.

The Walking Dead, when they’re just (mostly) happily settling in to Alexandria but Sasha is suffering from PTSD and she’s having flashbacks to all of the people that she has lost and it plays out to Spicks and Specks by the Bee Gees -incongruously upbeat melody but the words really hit the mark, genius choice.

The poster who said the can-can in Stardust... YES. Utterly wonderful.

The film Master and Commander uses Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis over shots of swelling waves on the ocean, and it just fits beautifully. The music is so atmospheric for it.

Mad World at the end of Donnie Darko. Love the whole soundtrack to that tbh.

Soundtracks to The Piano, Amelie & Natural Born Killers

@spied I watched a YouTube doc about the music at the beginning of The Shining. Those same notes are used in Jaws & many other things, goes back to medieval times these certain notes to convey a sense of dread. Il try and find the link!

Maybe don't watch that just before sleep, like I just have 🙄

I watched that film 7 years ago and ive always had unwanted random flashbacks to that scene. Its such a powerful but traumatizing film.

But yeah like a dickhead i watched the clip again just now ha hope i dont have bad dreams!!
