- Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody (Wayne’s World, 1992) “I thought we’d go for a little Bohemian Rhapsody, gentlemen?” It’s one of the greatest hard rock movies of all time, and the most iconic use of a song on the silver screen.
- Iggy Pop – Lust For Life (Trainspotting, 1996) Literally hitting the ground running, the opening sequence of Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting is one of the most iconic in all of British cinema.
- Black Sabbath – Paranoid (Kong: Skull Island, 2017) Ever since Francis Ford Coppola deployed Richard Wagner’s Ride Of The Valkyries to such iconic effect in Apocalypse Now, there has been a fashion for awesome musical moments involving swooping attack helicopters in the movies, from the aforementioned Predator right through this furry show-stopper.
- Smash Mouth – All Star (Shrek, 2001) Excessively mocked as it has been, there’s a brilliantly iconic turn-of-the-millennium quality to Smash Mouth’s All Star that’s never been better tapped-into than in the opening scene of Mike Myers’ ogre-centric animated classic Shrek.

- Raging Bull - Intermezzo from Cavelleria Rusticana (Pietro Mascagni) The juxtaposition of the physical drudgery and tragedy of Robert De Niro’s portrayal of boxer Jake LaMotta, balanced against the supremely romantic and indulgent nagging of Mascagni’s ‘Intermezzo’, has to be one of the greatest in cinema history.
- There Will Be Blood - Violin Concerto in D major (Johannes Brahms) The climax of There Will Be Blood has to be up there as one of the most unexpectedly perfect uses of classical music in a movie.
- The Man Who Wasn’t There - Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, ‘Pathetique’ (Ludwig Van Beethoven. The Coen Brothers’ queasy masterpiece features the slow movement of Beethoven’s ‘Pathetique’ throughout, peppered across the story as the quiet life of barber Ed Crane (Billy Bob Thornton) gradually gets turned completely upside down.
- Apocalypse Now - Flight Of The Valkyries (Richard Wagner) You can really measure the impact of Francis Ford Coppola’s movie by closing your eyes and listening to Wagner’s ‘Flight Of The Valkyries’ – chances are, rather than visualising a full stage production of The Ring Cycle, you’re picturing a swarm of helicopters blowing up the Vietnamese jungle.

- Almost Famous (2000) In Almost Famous, we get an exploration into an off-branch of the music industry: music journalism. The journalist at its center is a 15-year-old kid from San Diego, played by Patrick Fugit.
- Easy Rider (1969) We've mentioned the 1960s often throughout this list, and that's because the decade was such a pivotal time for rock n' roll! Attitudes were changing, minds were expanding, and young people preferred to ride around on motorcycles while smoking weed than to be married and settled down by 20.
- Quadrophenia (1979) Quadrophenia is based on The Who's 1973 rock opera. That description alone is enough to get us seated with popcorn at the ready, but don't crunch so loudly that you miss The Kingsman singing "Louie Louie."
- Elvis (2022) Here we have the King of Rock himself, Elvis Presley. Despite his stint as an actor, Elvis Presley was always better suited to the musical stage.
