Best Exit Music?

[Danger^Cart]

Which film do you feel made the best use of Exit Music? Mind you, I'm not necessarily talking about which simply had what you consider the best song, but a song that perfectly complimented the atmosphere and direction of the film.

Danger's pick: Full Metal Jacket
Song: Paint it Black
Artist: The Rolling Stones
Basis: Super-badassness

[Le_Big_Mac]

Full Metal Jacket definitely. I also liked how they re-used "Singin' in the Rain" at the end of A Clockwork Orange and, I believe, "Comfortably Numb" at the end of The Departed.

The use of Free Bird on the end of Devils Rejrects.

Nice calls on all of the above. I'd like to add:

Recently watched Behind the Mask: The Rise of Lesley Vernon, and the Talking Heads' 'Psycho Killer' was absolutely perfect.

Analyse by Thom Yorke. Great song and an even better album.

Yeah, that and "When Johhny Comes Marching Into Town" from DH3 are great!

[Brando @$$ Fat]

"Miss Misery" by Elliott Smith at the end of Good Will Hunting. I have no doubts about that.
