Belle & Sebastian - There's too much love
One of the sweetest love stories in cinema, wish more people knew Brazilian movies.
Also, one of the catchiest songs ever.

Intro Song
The first scene of Mother is a masterpiece that delivers the whole movie during it's first minutes.
Of course, you have to watch the final scene to understand how the first one really works out.
Brilliant. Just brilliant directing.

Donnie Darko (2001)
Echo and the Bunnymen - Killing Moon
This movie has a great soundtrack, like Duran Duran's Notorious or Mad World (unfortunately it's not the Tears for Fears version).
But Killing Moon prepares the mood for the movie very well, and it's a less known song that I only discovered thanks to this pic.

Simon & Garfunkel - The Sounds Of Silence
I like the beginning of this movie, and it has one of the most brilliant endings. But unfortunately I don't like the middle of it very much.
Anyway, a classic masterpiece music opening and setting the mood for one of the greatest classics of the cinema.

"Heroes" is one of my favorite songs, but the scene didn't catch me.
But who can resist to Emma Watson saying "OH MY GOD, they are playing good music!" and doing an awesome dance with Ezra Miller? Also, great scene for the movie.

Adam Levine - Lost Stars
This could be a very cliche scene, but happily the director/writer John Carney takes the right decision by the end of the song.
The movie is not as great as Once, but I liked this scene better than most of the songs of the first movie.

Bob Dylan - Times are a-changin'
I'm a huge fan of Alan Moore's comic Watchmen, but I couldn't enjoy what Zack Snyder tried to do here.
But I can't deny that the intro is a masterpiece, if only he had keep the level for the whole movie.
Tsc.
PS: This was my first contact with a Bob Dylan song, believe it or not.

Bob Dylan - Hurricane
First I knew the song, and than movie. This was the song that convinced me to listen more of Dylan's work, and the movie that made see how Denzel Washington is a genius actor.
PS: Yeah, there are a lot of copyright issues with this song, god knows why, and it's impossible to find Dylan singing it.

Bob Dylan - Things have changed
"C'MON! Him again?"
Yeah, him again. Aand again I first knew the song and than the movie.
It's a "feels good" story, but nothing very remarkable. But this is probably the catchiest of Dylan's songs.

Up to this date, no anime had such soundtrack as Cowboy Bebop did. The movie wasn't a let down and closed the flick with the same quality of the show.

Tarantino is the master of movies soundtracks, both previously movies proves this. But this is special, because I can't remember any particular scene so painful and touching like this one.
I didn't need to see the rest of the movie to know that I was watching another one of his masterpieces.

There are some songs that make a really strong impression in me during movies, and always become a must in my playlists.
I decided to list some of them here... they aren't great classic scenes/songs, it's a more personal experience.
There are songs from trailers, ending credits, intros and specific scenes... I hope you enjoy!
