  • KurtangleTN, on 06/28/2008, -1/+61Yeah 502 was really out of place in Gateway.
  • missjb, on 06/27/2008, -0/+44Hip To Be Square and American Psycho fits like peanut butter and ladies
  • YME1280, on 06/27/2008, -0/+28Every time I hear that song from Reservoir Dogs I think of that cop getting his ear cut off...
  • Inflammo, on 06/28/2008, -1/+25"Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor."
  • MillionsLivio, on 06/28/2008, -0/+16Server is down, but if it doesn't include "Singin' in the Rain" via A Clockwork Orange it fails.
  • Zapita, on 06/28/2008, -0/+13oh.. mirror? :/
  • bordlin, on 06/27/2008, -0/+11FTA "Roger Moore may be fat and annoying but the guy can make a movie…no matter what people’s opinion’s are."

    He's clearly talking about Michael Moore, but just in case he's not, he should rent Octopussy and then promptly eat his hat. Roger Moore is easily the fourth or fifth best actor to play bond. Ever.
  • f4nt0m4s, on 06/28/2008, -1/+9Beavis and Butthead Do America has an awesome soundtrack with a pretty diverse mix of songs;

    I love the part when they play Lesbian Seagul:

    awesome movie, awesome soundtrack, really out of place songs that work really well
  • Jenadae, on 06/28/2008, -0/+8No videos, no digg...
  • innocentsinner, on 06/28/2008, -0/+7I don't think AC/DC has ever been used well in a movie soundtrack. Everytime I hear "You Shook Me All Night Long" or "Back in Black" in a movie or TV show, it's painful.
  • protogenxl, on 06/28/2008, -2/+8Stop Playing Reservoir Dogs

  • UNDERSTAR, on 06/28/2008, -0/+6YOU GOT THE POWER!!!
  • inactive, on 06/28/2008, -0/+6Site's down. Somebody should just post the damn list.
  • gnarnia, on 06/28/2008, -0/+4Is that a raincoat?
  • Jenadae, on 06/28/2008, -0/+4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhlIMgmoXto
  • rohan037, on 06/28/2008, -0/+4The server went down at around 102 [or maybe even before that]. and now, even without a mirror [no google cache too :( ] present, we are at 125 diggs.. the story of digg.
  • aforce369, on 06/28/2008, -3/+7Aaaaaannnnndddd it's down at 102 diggs!

    you know Patt, that was one of the faster knock-outs I've ever seen in the Digg ring.

    Patt: How did you get in my office...?
  • inactive, on 06/27/2008, -0/+4I'm a huge fan of the movie The Game and that that UV light scene was definitely messed up. Great song for that moment.
  • akohut, on 06/28/2008, -1/+5I hate these lists.
  • Karmavs, on 06/28/2008, -0/+3Your list would earn a spot on mine.
  • GJBlizzard, on 06/28/2008, -3/+6Heineken? ***** that *****. PABST BLUE RIBBON!

    This list would be pretty good if it wasn't for "Fallen."
  • pearbobber, on 06/27/2008, -1/+4WTF ads!
  • innocentsinner, on 06/28/2008, -0/+3On the flipside, the most badly out of place song I can remember off the top of my head is the 10-15 second clip of Express Yourself during one of the fight scenes in Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
  • antonio97b, on 06/28/2008, -0/+3You Shook Me All Night Long in Private Parts.
  • Scrappy1850, on 06/28/2008, -1/+4you've got the touch
  • tatltat, on 06/28/2008, -0/+2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn3DlmcrLeY

    AC/DC was used really good in this movie.
  • lordsteve, on 06/28/2008, -0/+2I dunno - I think Back in Black was used pretty well in Iron Man.
  • mllawso, on 06/28/2008, -0/+2#12 "Dare to be stupid" in the original transformers movie, during the fight scene with the junkions.

  • blackrockcoast, on 06/28/2008, -0/+2Dear god man, toughen up.
  • bigdsinferno, on 06/28/2008, -0/+2He was probably mixing the name, Michael Moore, with his movie "Roger & Me"
  • InvsibleChimp, on 06/29/2008, -0/+1I was surprised "Over the Rainbow" from Face/Off wasn't on there.
  • manonfire285, on 07/14/2008, -0/+111. Extreme Ways - Moby
  • Xalorous, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1They're finally expressing long repressed feelings. That one fits well.
  • ishotthedoor, on 06/29/2008, -0/+1That part of the scene in Boogie Nights where the camera was on Mark Wahlberg's face for over a minute wasn't "Sister Christian", it was "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield. "Sister Christian" was in that scene too, but not that amazing part. That's one of my favorite scenes ever, and I love that song "Jessie's Girl" because of it.
  • semeticstallion, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1No "We'll Meet Again" from the final scene of Dr. Strangelove? Somebody needs to rewatch something.
  • inactive, on 06/28/2008, -4/+5The article sucks much like every article submitted today.
  • unfuckwithable, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1Tennessee Stud in Jackie Brown. Tarantino could pick 'em.
  • mweflen, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1Thanks for the NSFW tag you forgot to add, *****. (semi-nude ads)
  • helloelan, on 06/29/2008, -0/+1"Good Vibrations" in Vanilla Sky!
  • sittered, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1There's seven different Bonds to begin with:

    Connery
    Moore
    Lazenby
    Dalton
    Brosnan
    Craig
    and David Niven, if you count the first Casino Royale.

  • Tyrghast, on 06/28/2008, -2/+3Top 10 Lists I never want to see again.

    This would earn a spot.
  • RansomHoldiay, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1my girlfriend is a musical theater major and her class was working on a production of singin' in the rain when i first watched a clockwork orange. it completely ruined the play because that is all i could think of.
  • nevona, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1It does.
  • fugazied, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1The book messed with my head, but the movie was just plain entertaining.
  • gryphon50, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1same here. It's a little strange to be eating in a restaurant or something, then you hear this song and begin to think of some guy getting his ear cut off...
  • flynnfx, on 06/28/2008, -1/+2502 Bad Gateway

    Funny, I can't remember that movie song.

    These websites that can't handle a bit of traffic suck.
