movies with great music (1 Viewer)

[isnice]

i'll start.

trainspotting - absolutely amazing. one of the greatest soundtracks in recent history.

kill bill and pulp fiction - tarantino's taste is impeccable.

lost in translation - especially the final scene with jesus and mary chain

fight club - only because of the pixies right at the end, if there was ever a song which epitomised an entire movie..

So you're talking about 'music' as opposed to 'soundtrack' or 'score'?

 

[isnice]

just any films with song(s) that fit perfectly and add an extra dimension to it.
