Good list, but where’s the pool hall fight to the tune of “Mr. Postman”?

If I were to pick the great musical moment from “New York Stories”, it would be Nick Nolte painting furiously to the tune of Cream’s “Politician”

I liked it too. However, what about some of the music from the Departed? Specifically, “Comfortably Numb” (Roger Waters) and “We’re Shipping up to Boston” (Dropkick Murphys). Both songs were featured in that film at crucial moments, and neither were written specifically for the movie (Dropkick’s song was from their upcoming album “The Warrior’s Code” and the Waters song was also used in the Sopranos)

What about “Layla” from Goodfellas? In my opinon, it’s the defining moment of music in Scorsese’s movies.

“Late for the Sky” from Taxi Driver? Anyone?

I’m going with New York Stories as well but I’m picking “Like A Rolling Stone” By Dylan with the Band backing. Nolte moves with the song/the song moves with him. In the end you know where some artistic inspiration comes from.
