Ello's Tarantino thread made me think of other directors who integrate music masterfully into their movies. Danny Boyle, Richard Linklater, Scorsese... Music can enhance and alter visuals to a shocking degree sometimes.. Imagine "the shining" without all the spooky, arabient noises heard throughout the movie...not nearly as menacing.. Post some examples of movie scenes with music that you think greatly enhances the scene to epic levels!

All of these movies the music is great:

Transformers: The Movie from 85 or was it 86 (?) is a great example of how you can tie in music with what happens in the story. There's hardly a moment in the film which is not accentuated by music. Here's an example, though you should skip about a minute in :

The song is "Dare" by Stan Bush .. Ah, to be a child of the 80s. :p:
 
Though this is only the trailer, when this song is played in the movie it truly highlights the scene.

Song: Cat Stevens - If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out
Movie: Harold & Maude

There is a scene in The Limits of Control where a woman with bright orange hair in white is walking in slow motion down the streets of Spain with an urabrella while Boris' "Farewell" is playing. I tried to find the video, but no luck. Good thread idea.
 
Fits perfectly even though I'm not a huge Oasis fan. This is killer:

"Movie": 'Roadhouse'-(at the end of the movie) Jeff Healy does his version of Bob Dylans 'When the night comes falling'. A great soundtrack! "Movie": 'Sugarhill'- Otis Redding's, One more day. "Movie": 'Man on fire'- (I cant remeraber the artist's last name), Carlos ??.-,song- 'Una Palabla'. (last song at the end of the movie when Denzel Washington is dying in the back of the car). Just so many fav's to name them all....

I could name so many scenes from The Big Lebowski. The first Jesus scene nailed it with the music. Also, the placement of Oye Como Va with them all eating fastfood after the Dude's car was wrecked has me chuckle every time.
