  1. “Born to Be Wild” blasting while Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper ride down the highway in Easy Rider (1969)
  2. Mr. Blonde tapping his toes to “Stuck in the Middle With You” before hacking off a man’s ear in Reservoir Dogs (1992)

  1. “Layla” playing over a montage of carnage in Goodfellas (1990)
  2. The Doors’ “The End” mirroring Captain Willard alcohol-fueled wait in Apocalypse Now (1979)
