A film that teaches vital life lessons on friendship, loyalty, and skipping school to enjoy the simple pleasures of life was a big hit in the 1980s from John Hughes. Ferris Bueller's Day Offhas so many iconic moments from pranking a school principal to driving a 1961 Ferrari GT Californa around the Windy City. Another brilliant sequence was when Fe...
The Coen Brothers have perfected the art of the screenplay, writing some of the best films in cinematic history.

- Reservoir Dogs (1992) - Stuck In The Middle With You (Stealer's Wheel) Tarantino's genius when it comes to selecting music for his films is beyond doubt, having repeated the trick too many times for it to be a fluke.
- Rocky III (1982) - Eye Of The Tiger (Survivor) It's a montage, with Eye of the Tiger. What could be more amazing than that? 71 17 Thanks for voting.
- Fight Club (1999) - Where Is My Mind (The Pixies) It's an obvious one, but no less powerful because of it. David Fincher knew what song to end the movie on - Where is my Mind indeed.
- Apocalypse Now (1979) - The End (The Doors) What a way to start a film. The Doors' epic masterpiece soundtracks a seven-minute montage which sets the scene for what's about to come.
- 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.
