The joy of six ... film scene background music

In no particular order, just scenes that spring to mind in a free asociation kinda stylie

My immediate thought was anything by Quentin Tarantino, maybe with the exception of Kill Bill and Inglorious ... he's always had top notch music in his films which could range from oldies dating back to his formative years to others that have stayed, un-tapped, in our collective concscious. But where to start ?

How about this : Spinners wheel and stuck in the middle from Reservoir dogs where in one classic scene we learn all there is to know about the badness of Michael Madson ?

Off on a tangent, who'd a thunk it, given the ambient freedom fries and no to foie gras mood of the time, that we'd see the unlikely teaming up of a little known french music duo (Air) with a 'daughter of' film director (Sophia) to produce a truly brilliant film Virgin suicides

Back to earth with a (british) comedy, which was miles away from the bog standard and god awful Hugh Grant-meets-Andie Macdowal-but-never-quite-beds-her affair.
How about if i suggested Guy Ritchie ?
Again, i could choose from any of his films, but the scene that sums up Snatch is the coursing scene - will the hound get the hare, and if so will Brad Pitt get the caravan for his ma ? (if you've not seen the film, go and rent it forth with : you won't be regret it)

Over to the states, with another film that i really do think will stand out as a classic with it's perfect castng, an excellent subtext and the penultimate scene from American beauty where the mid-life crisis addled hero (Kevin Spacy) thinks he's finally going to make home base. Annie Lennox has 'that' voice.

A roll call of actors, including Patrick Swayze in an unsavoury role ? A disturbed adolescent seeing big bunny rabits ? An airplane reactor ripping through the roof of a suburbian house ?? WTF ?? All becomes more or less clear at the end of Donnie Darko where Gary Jules updates the Tears for Fears classic 'Mad world'

Finally, we come to a Tom Cruise film.
I never have been and probably never will be a fan. But i have to admit that he was good ... okay, very good in Magnolia That being said, i really think that Philip Hoffman is highly underrated and deserves some kind of recognition
