the "we're gonna need a montage" song over the montage in Team America

Re: Greatest Song Playing Over a Montage Movie Scene
 

Greatest song or greatest use of one? I think its an important distiction. This thread also seems familiar.

Re: Greatest Song Playing Over a Montage Movie Scene
 

Obviously, "Training Montage" by Vince DiCola which appears in the "Rocky IV" Russian training montage must be mentioned.

"Running on Empty", "Against the Wind", "Go Your Own Way", and "It Keeps You Running" during Hanks' jogging marathon in Forrest Gump.

Re: Greatest Song Playing Over a Montage Movie Scene
 

For purposes of this thread, greatest use. There was a similar thread about a month ago, but that dealt with best final scene/music pairings. This is for MONTAGES only.

I like the music in Predator during the "booby trap the jungle to kill the alien" montage. It ends with Arnold shouting some war cry.

Geez, what have I started? I like it, I like it. You know where I stand on this one, with my boy Daniel LaRusso of Miyagi-do Karate.

Also nominate "Football Rap" by LL Cool J in beginning of Wildcats.

Does "My Niggas" by DMX in Any Given Sunday count?

Re: Greatest Song Playing Over a Montage Movie Scene
 

Zero 7 - In the Waiting Line. In Garden State when Andrew is getting high/partying with his friends. A really fitting song for the mood of this scene/montage.

Edited to Add --- I'm definitely not claiming this to be the "greatest" montage of all time, just a good one.

Re: Greatest Song Playing Over a Montage Movie Scene
 

I disagree. There are multiple shots that flow into each other, pretty much the definition of a movie montage.

Elliot Smith's "Angeles" During Good Will Hunting.

Re: Greatest Song Playing Over a Montage Movie Scene
 

My favorite is that scene in Malcolm X - Where near the end he's on his way to the speech where's he's gonna die and they're playing Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come" in the background.

Re: Greatest Song Playing Over a Montage Movie Scene
 

By far the best movie montage is in SCARFACE in the segment where the song "Push it to the Limit" is playing as Tony Montona and his gang rob banks, sell cocaine, and then count tons of dough in their safe house.

Not far behind would be the montage in BLOW to ELO's Blinded by the Light. This segment happens right after Depp meets EL Pedrino (Pablo Escobar) and they decide to go into business. He starts out by saying something along the lines of "Cocaine was introduced to the American public..." at which point the scene is narrated and then just still photos flash of Depp's character meeting a bunch of 70s movie stars/music stars and doing tons of coke.

I don't think this is even the best music-over-sequence in this particular movie. "I Love LA" during the baseball game is better, methinks.
