As in songs that play pretty much as soon or just before the credits roll that fit the film really well and make you go WOW

Sebadoh: Spoiled (Kids)
SOOL: Instant Repeater 99 (Spun)
The Jim Carroll Band: People Who Died (Dawn of the Dead 2004)

HOW

did I forget that :(


i don't know

it's the one that gets mentioned the most every time there's a thread of this nature, it's a perfect example


I love that Soundtrack of Our Lives song

Although I've never seen 'Spun'. I love the use of Show Me Love by Robyn at the end of the film of the same name. I love the whole soundtrack to that film actually, all nineties swedish europop, shoegaze, Robyn and Foreigner, of all things.


- - -

Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me (Breakfast Club)
JAMC - Just Like Honey (Lost In Translation)
Happy Together - The Turtles (Adaptation)


Just like honey - The Jesus & Mary Chain

at the end of Lost in Translation.


^^^This

it was perfect for that film.

The one that surprised me the most was when they played Halcyon+on+on by Orbital right at the end of Lindsey Lohan vehicle 'Mean Girls'. Totally out of place, but still an awesome way to end a fillum.

but atmosphere coming in at the end of "Control" is always pretty powerful


Animal Collective's 'Winter's Love'

at the end of the (fucking awful) Shortbus.

Bob Dylan's 'Every Grain of Sand' at the end of 'Another Day in Paradise'.

Larry Clark puts some bangers in his flicks.


Rolling Stones - Paint it Black

RATM and Marilyn Manson in the credits of the Matrix \m/


Rolling Stones - Jumping Jack Flash

Life Aquatic - Queen Bitch David Bowie

all accompanied with signature slow motion


Nice scores too

Good old Mark Mothersbaugh


^

This took too long to be said.

Also his cover of 'Because' at the end of American Beauty.


That cover is breathtaking.

I heard somewhere it's a cover of an alternate version of the song the Beatles recorded, called 'Take 16' I believe. It definitely shares more in common with the Elliott version.


Sister Ray (at the end of Brick)

or Do Wah Diddy at the end of LA Story.

or The Same Old Song from Blood Simple

or Coconut in Reservoir Dog

or that crazy George Harrison number at the end of Time Bandits

or...


Sister Ray is played at the end of Brick?

Didn't notice that, must have been too busy trying to work out what on earth had been going on for the previous hour.


One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Whatever that music is during the credits/ending scene, it's bloody amazing.


Blue Moon

at the end of American Warewolf In London


im not a big sigar ros fan

but when Untitled 3 from () appears on the end of Mysterious Skin is a beautiful moment to end a film.

Also:
Velvet Underground - 'Sister Ray' at the end of Brick
And i agree with Orbital's Halcyon+on+on, being the best part of Mean Girls.


Apocalypse Now and The End

is a match made in heaven.


at the end of Chinatown

the closing score over the final scene / credits is a perfect example of composing for a film


Ghostbusters

nuf said


most of my favs

but i love the 8 1/2 theme by nino rota and shape of my heart by sting at the end of leon (the professional)


Wake up

at the end of the matrix. If only they hadn't bothered with the sequels.


No-one seen Heat then?

Moby - God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters. Pacino standing knackered, landing lights winking under midnight LA smog... boodiful.


Does Beck's

everybody's gotta learn sometimes close eternal sunshine? If it does that


Reach by S Club 7

at the end of Live Forever.

Seriously, what a tune!


Just groaning....

at the end of Single White She-Male


Anyone else but you...

....at the end of Juno. And as someone else said Wake Up at the end of the Matrix is pretty good too.


Angel Stirups by David Heavenbury

at the end of Big Mummas House IV


Big Fish

Man of the Hour - Pearl Jam


In Heaven (Lady In The Radiator Song)

The original version in Eraserhead.

Creepy song, bloody creepy film.

A perfect match.

Sounds great on vinyl too...


...

Babel was meh right up until the end.

Then Bibo No Aozora by Ryuichi Sakamoto came on.
