Apocalypse Now - The Doors - The End (IMO best movie ever!)
Apocalypse Now - Wagner
Fightclub - The Pixies - Where is my mind?
Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia

Those are the only ones I can remember. They fit the scenes so well and sound awesome.

Superstar by the Carpenters from Tommy Boy still cracks me up whenever I hear it.

Cheers.

Are all those songs from Easy Rider? If so, I'd forgotten "If Six Was Nine."


Just thought of another good song used cinematically, though I already posted ten:

"For All We Know" - Abbey Lincoln (Drugstore Cowboy)

I posted the playlist in order from the original soundtrack. Easy Rider had some other great music, some more of which is included in the two disc remastered redbook CD version of the soundtrack. It's music that always takes me back. BTW, Easy Rider and M*A*S*H were the first two "R" rated flicks I had to sneak in to see.
