Best ending to a movie with a song...
« on: March 21, 2008, 07:12:08 PM »
You know the scene: end of the movie, emotional moment, whatever; and a song is playing in the background that just fits the moment so well there is no other song that could play in it's place...

Most here won't remember the scene but this is all I have to start the thread:

End of the movie Reality Bites U2 "All I Want is You" plays.

just the song not a clip from the movie

It is quite good and fits so well I can't think of another song that could be better.



Got another?

Not that these are the best, but there are a couple that stick with me for some reason:

The Eels - Mr E's Beautiful Blues at the end of Road Trip
Elliott Smith - Miss Misery from the closing credits of Good Will Hunting

freakin A! Great end! I forgot about that... (I'll never forget those big lips of the DJ announcing "Nowhere to Run" and talking to "All those boppers out there" :aok THANKS for the memory!)


another popped in my head:

Clerks II the son was "Misery" by Soul Asylum

Another memorable one for me was Simple Minds with "Don't you forget about me" at the end of "The Breakfast Club"

Wow, great old school call on that one! I just watched Thunder Road again a couple days ago. Mitchum was the shizz.

How about: Jailhouse Rock- Cast and crew The Blues Brothers
