[Music] Best use of great music with great visual in TV/Film

[Sid and the Sharknados]

From Russia With Love. Using the Bond Theme to make "checking into a hotel room" seem like the coolest thing in the world.

No criticism of your suggestion as these things are obviously subjective, but that scene encompasses all of my own problems with not understanding dance as an art form. He's enraged by being trapped in his class and in his family therefore he's going to express it through tap dancing.*

I just don't get it. I'm happy to dance myself when the moment takes me, but I can't for the life of me see how anyone can be moved by watching other people do it. I'm still asking my wife all these years later why Torville & Dean were considered so much better than all the others. They were all just dancing on ice and if nobody falls over how can you pick a winner?

It's obviously something I'm missing as the massive popularity of stuff like Strictly suggests that millions of other people are really getting something out of watching it. I'd suggest that I have Dancelexia, if this wasn't NSC and I knew that someone would be along in a moment to point out that the 'lexia' element of the word refers to literacy not to an inability.

* - As an aside, the never referenced mixed reality of musical theatre is parodied brilliantly in this Norm MacDonald sketch fom SNL:

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Soundtrack to the original blade runner film + the special effects takes some beating.

Since your problem is understanding the appeal / qualities of dancing rather than an inability to dance yourself, I'd suggest a word implying dance-illiteracy is entirely correct.

Nobody expects reverse pedantry.

But without 'Dys' the word wouldn't imply dance illiteracy, it would imply dance literacy.

 

[B-right-on]

For me, got to be the opening scenes of the GOTG series. Really set up the films and brought back some brilliant music to a whole new generation

 

[heathgate]

Probably a sign of my age,.. but Blade runner, original, Vangelis, takes some beating for mood.

Pfft. Details.

Battle on the ice from Alexander Nevsky - great director, great composer, no CGI. It's absolutely brilliant on a big screen



The end of the battle of Agincourt from Branagh's Henry V - moving stuff

 

[AstroSloth]

Surprised nobody has said Baby Driver.

The whole film is synced to the music and plays from the perspective of the main character. When he takes a headphone out the music will stop playing from that side, very cool.

 

[Is it PotG?]

 

[Official Old Man]

There is only one

And for TV this whole series was the first to have hit songs rather than just made up tunes.

 

[Swegulls]

How about New Order and Elegia or Shellshock from Pretty in Pink?

I was scrolling through to say the same.
