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. |

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."]] |

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. |

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. |
