The occasions are rare in which movies make an iconic music-to-film-imagery impression, that of taking a tune from the past and using it in a film to forge a memorable collaboration of mediums. What might come closest this summer? Maybe Mike Tyson grooving in “The Hangover” to “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins? It’s open to debate.
Readers will have their own favorites that fall in this category, but a quick personal inventory yielded a dozen such instances in which non-musical films used songs from the past to create unforgettable scenes.
