I've found about some of my favorite artists through films and I've imagined films as vehicles for some of my favorite artists.
A great site that deals with music and film is this one. Check the soundtrack series, so great.
Anyway, so I thought I'd highlight some of my favorite film/music moments.
The first is probably the most significant to me, if only because of the great stuff it turned me onto.
The last scene in Paul Auster & Wayne Wang's Smoke aka "Auggie Wren's Christmas Story"
Not only was the the first indie movie I ever saw at Angelika, but it turned me onto Tom Waits...and then onto Jim Jarmusch. It made me want to create my own music videos, which I did here, here and here. I love this sequence.

That movie "Jesus' Son" had a great use of the song "The Love You Save (May Be Your Own)" by Joe Tex.
That wonderful scene was later ripped off by Tarantino in his lack luster part of Grindhouse. Boo
Jesus' Son had some great music.
You know what's a weird but perfect use of music...ever see boiler room? The mid 90's hip hop soundtrack went perfect for some reason with the contemporary wall street douchebaggery...
KIDS had a really cool soundtrack...that was the first one I remember paying attention to.
