8	[[folder:''Reservoir Dogs'']]
9	* The ''Film/ReservoirDogs'' opening sequence with "[[https://youtu.be/4b1wt3-zpzQ Little Green Bag]]" by George Baker Selection playing as the characters walk by looking (super fucking) cool.
10	* [[https://youtu.be/5ukstws19D4 "Stuck In The Middle With You"]]. Gives a [[SoundtrackDissonance whole new meaning to the term "earworm", doesn't it?]]
11	%%* Music/JoeTex's "[[https://youtu.be/cXoaupox2IA I Gotcha]]", during the scene where they're beating up Nash.
12	[[/folder]]
13
14	[[folder:''Pulp Fiction'']]
15	* ''Film/PulpFiction'' has one of the most powerful kick-ins of all film: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKpsuGMeqHI Miserlou]]!
16	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAZLgsDRUv4 Son of a Preacher Man]] by Music/DustySpringfield. The music fits perfectly with the scene.
17	* [[https://youtu.be/VXi3mCfv15k Surf Rider]] finished the film awesomely.
18	* Music/AlGreen's "[[https://youtu.be/COiIC3A0ROM Let's Stay Together]]", during that great scene in the beginning between Butch and Marcellus.
19	%%* [[https://youtu.be/JAHA4Jh5jkw "Girl you'll be a woman soon".]]
20	[[/folder]]
21
22	[[folder:''Jackie Brown'']]
23	* ''Film/JackieBrown'' kicks off with [[https://youtu.be/KtzRJgZG98I Across 110th Street]], a song inspirational even to the whitest of honkies.
24	%%* [[https://youtu.be/gC1TBxflN2I Strawberry Letter #23]] by The Brothers Johnson, during the scene where Ordell bumps off Beaumont.
25	%%* [[https://youtu.be/cnNyxy7XPfs Street Life]] by Randy Crawford, when Jackie arrives at the mall before the climax.
26	%%* [[https://youtu.be/yY9i2JZwZO8 That song]] that plays when Ordell is waiting at Sheronda's place at the end.
27	%%* Music/BillWithers' "[[https://youtu.be/9vlM1ekJ144 Who Is He, And What Is He To You?]]".
28	[[/folder]]
29
30	[[folder:''Kill Bill'']]
31	* [[https://youtu.be/AAPMUSCFVhg Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)]] by Music/NancySinatra, over the opening credits. The minimalism of the song only increases the anticipation for the bloodshed ahead. Plus, the guitar is awesome.
32	* [[https://youtu.be/gw5vAd5icAg Battle Without Honor Or Humanity]] by Tomoyasu Hotei is famed for its use in fight scenes in ''Film/KillBill''.
33	* The beautiful [[https://youtu.be/Pd2xZVfmj3U "The Grand Duel (Parte Prima)"]] by Luis Bacalov is memorably used during the tragic anime sequence when O-Ren Ishii's parents are killed by Boss Matsumoto and his yakuza.
34	* Not on the soundtrack, but still awesome, [[https://youtu.be/Q53CNvFg9Fw Death Rides a Horse]] (originally written for the movie of the same name), which plays when the Bride calls out O-Ren Ishii.
35	* Also the re-use of Music/EnnioMorricone's [[https://youtu.be/uwlMU5PYcs0 "L'Arena"]] (originally written for ''The Mercenary'') for the Bride's escape.
36	* Another Morricone piece, [[https://youtu.be/zrigaQbUvZQ "The Demise of Barbara and the Return of Joe"]] (taken from ''Film/NavajoJoe'') is beautifully used for Bill's final moments. As he makes his exit, the music swells, the drums roll and the OneWomanWail picks up to give him the sendoff he deserves.
37	* [[https://youtu.be/blkhko_4T8s The Lonely Shepherd]], which plays [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome when Beatrix gets her Hattori Hanzo sword]], then again in the ending credits of Vol 1.
38	* Morricone's [[https://youtu.be/Mgpcu8ZLlFc A Silhouette Of Doom]], used masterfully for the confrontation between Beatrix and Elle Driver.
39	* Santa Esmeralda's [[https://youtu.be/yCGFfz7LfDQ Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood]], particularly the use of the instrumental break in the song as a lead-in to the Bride's battle with O-Ren Ishii.
40	* Again, not on the soundtrack, but "[[https://youtu.be/5Us1ASENPws Nobody But Me]]" by The Human Beinz, during the Crazy 88 fight.
41	* The songs by Meiko Kaji that were featured at the ends of both movies: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouV6ZAd2TsY "Shura no Hana" aka "Flower of Carnage"]] (which begins to play as Beatrix defeats and kills O-Ren) and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6sIGyQ9y-c "Urami Bushi" aka "Grudge Song."]]

44	[[folder:''Death Proof'']]
45	%%* [[https://youtu.be/Zxk6mPNCiXc Down in Mexico]] by The Coasters.
46	%%* [[https://youtu.be/EwfI677mRXo Hold Tight]] by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick, and Tich.
47	%%* [[https://youtu.be/UqDwnT_HSXg It's So Easy]] by Willy [=DeVille=].
48	%%* That theme that plays when Kim, Zoe, and Abby are chasing Stuntman Mike is all kinds of awesome!
49	* "Jack and Jill" is a really touching song, just a lonely melancholic piano playing in a moment of passiveness. You won't really thing it would be THAT kind of MoodWhiplash after watching the rest of the movie, but...
50	%%* AprilMarch's "[[https://youtu.be/KDPi_cgItcA Chick Habit]]" over the end credits.
51	[[/folder]]
52
53	[[folder:''Inglourious Basterds'']]
54	%%* The theme to [[https://youtu.be/-9PlxtZu0pc The Battle of Algiers]] which Quentin Tarantino used in ''Film/InglouriousBasterds''.
55	* Music/DavidBowie's "[[https://youtu.be/YWX_MFNOL_Y Cat People]]". Should be completely out of place, but fits perfectly and creates amazing atmosphere.
56	* If you ever have the chance to have theme music announcing your arrival anywhere, you want it to be [[https://youtu.be/8lZqwOdFJJU "The Verdict"]]. You know it's true. Tarantino and Music/EnnioMorricone cannot be denied.
57	** Speaking of Morricone...[[https://youtu.be/zMKYAqxiZBM Rabbia E Tarantella.]] Enjoy.
58	** And if you happen to have the man who murdered your entire family show up behind you while at a restaurant with Nazi soldiers, few sounds would match up as well as the beginning of [[https://youtu.be/q5z1y2jOofQ this video.]]
59	%%* Hugo Stiglitz [[https://youtu.be/81AZnu3qPis DUH NEHHHHH]]
60	* "[[https://youtu.be/rVWOJuSKohg One Silver Dollar]]"; there's just something so damn sexy about Creator/MelanieLaurent sitting in that cafe, reading a book and smoking a cigarette, while that song plays.
61	%%* The [[https://youtu.be/FmcqFLMDbJ4 Main title theme]] from ''Film/WhiteLightning'', a Creator/BurtReynolds film from the 70s.
62	[[/folder]]
63
64	[[folder:''Django Unchained'']]
65	* [[https://youtu.be/4_OiUURbYlQ THE Django theme]]. From ''Film/{{Django}}''. And ''damn'' if it doesn't hold up after forty-six years.
66	%%* [[https://youtu.be/kCWY60hWJec The Payback/Untouchable]], a mix-up of Music/TupacShakur and Music/JamesBrown, plays during the first shoot-out at Candyland.
67	* [[https://youtu.be/nLij67M-e1M Un Monumento]] by Music/EnnioMorricone, an epic in the vein of "The Ecstasy of Gold" and just as powerful.
68	* [[https://youtu.be/_bdOTUocn5w Freedom]] by Anthony Hamilton & Elayna Boynton sets the tone for Django and his mission of vengeance.
69	%%* Music/JohnLegend's "[[https://youtu.be/34I2dCO8U8A Who Did That To You?]]" during Django's escape from the Aussies near the end, [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome starting up the instant QT blows up]].
70	%%* [[https://youtu.be/Uzdc-0Q45wM "Dies Irae" (Day of Wrath)]] from Music/GiuseppeVerdi's Requiem Mass, as arranged by Masamichi Amano for ''Literature/BattleRoyale'', used in the ur-KKK scene.
71	* Django has been freed, and is finally making an honest living, to the tune of Music/JimCroce's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_BEFyNNIvM "I Got a Name."]]
72	%%* Django's vengeance upon the Brittle Brothers early on in the movie is underscored with Music/LuisBacalov's [[https://youtu.be/XBovvmJMFS8 "La Corsa."]]
73	%%* [[https://youtu.be/k4PYRdb71_w Trinity (Titoli)]] which plays right before, during, and after Django blows Candyland to smithereens.
74	%%* "[[https://youtu.be/FQNFcYvILJE Too Old To Die Young]]" by Music/BrotherDege, which plays when Django takes vengeance for D'Artagnan upon Candie's trackers.
75	%%* Music/JerryGoldsmith's cue from the 1983 film ''Under Fire'' was used in this scene: [[https://youtu.be/TMg812fhYe8 "Nicaragua"]].
76	[[/folder]]
77
78	[[folder:''The Hateful 8'']]
79	* The simple fact that Q was able to convince Ennio Morricone to compose his first original Western score in ''decades'' should be awesome enough. If not, the fact that it won him a Golden Globe and his first Oscar definitely is.
80	[[/folder]]
81	%%
82	%%[[folder:''Once Upon A Time In Hollywood'']]
83	%%* Vanilla Fudge's cover of The Supremes' [[https://youtu.be/6CL8ASLVWPk "You Keep Me Hangin' On"]], which plays when Rick and Cliff face off against Tex Watson, Susan Atkins and Patricia Krenwinkel in the climax.
