Movies employing music in a great way.

Why respond to it then? Others, including me, are enjoying it.

@almarg Don't get me wrong. I wasn't disparaging the Blues Brothers movie. Its high in my top 10 movies. Still makes me laugh out loud. It is priceless.

"Breaking Away" features many popular Classical pieces interspersed throughout the movie that fit with the particular scenes used in.
I really like this movie! Plus the strong and silent lead character throughout... the Masi Gran Criterium!!!

"Inna Gadda Da Vida" drum solo during the mayhem scene in Manhunter (the first of the movies involving serial murderers based on the Silence of the Lambs books) and in some ways, the best, directed by Michael Mann. 

One of the more perfect marriage of film and music I can recall was from a movie called "Sorcerer" (1977). An ambitious William Freidkin film that was overshadowed at the time of release by a little thing called Star Wars.

The score is by Tangerine Dream and the edited sequences, particularly of the men determined to resurrect old delapidated trucks into something that might reliably get them through 200 miles of jungle roads, is something special to witness. The music was recorded first, before the scenes had been finished. Freidkin was so impressed by the music itself, that he recomposed and reshot many of the scenes around it. The result is mesmerizing.
