Awesome idea for a discussion! :)Can't really think of any right now other than those except one: Kung Fu Hustle. -> Pretty much ever fight scene. (Which is pretty amazing if you know how fast paced chinese music can get.)  Ather lenoro' sharanteh! (Ather's light guide us!)"Food for thought!"

My faves from Kick Ass would have to be "Strobe: Adagio in D Minor" and "Big Daddy Kills". Frikken epic.Love "Where is my mind" by the Pixies in Fight Club. KABOOM! Good use of it is used in "Sucker Punch" version feat Emily Browning. Also liked the Emily Browning version of "Sweet Dreams are made of this"I liked the song that played in the "Sherlock Holmes" movie when the bomb went off. Amaaaazzzzinng.From a Tv Show, but I liked the Rolling Stones with Vitamin Strings Quartet version of "As Tears Go By" and "Lose You" by Pete Yorn in House MD.Back to movies, "The Man Comes Around" by Johnny Cash in "My Best Friend's Girl". Dane Cook looked pretty bad ass walking through the church aisle puffing a cigar in slow-mo.The "School of Rock" song by ACDC in the movie was pretty cool.Very subtle, but in "Scott Pilgrim vs the World", "Athems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl" by Broken Social Science plays in the scene after Scott defeats the twins. I wanted to cry. Also "Black Sheep" by Metric was pretty cool.Back to Tv Shows, "Oh Death" bu Jen Titus in a scene from Supernatural when Death rolls up in a sweet car and touches a guy. Bad ass old guy.Favourite of all time would have to be "This is Halloween Town" in the "Nightmare before Christmas", just cause it's an awesome, dark movie in general.Slack for thinking of anymore. Enjoy!
