I ’ll never be able to hear the words " Mmm whatcha say " without thinking of Marissa Cooper onThe O.C.

If you’re anything like me, you probably watch a LOT of TV and movies. And you probably also know that there’s literally nothing better than when the show or movie you’re watching has an absolutely flawless needle drop moment.
Like, somehow the creators have found THE song that perfectly captures every single nuance and emotion in the scene you’re watching…and then leaves YOU with this visceral experience.
For instance, onStranger Things, whenKate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill"was so triumphant and sorrowful that of course it’d be the only song that could save Max from Vecna.
Or inBooksmart, when Amy has this coming-of-age moment as she swims through the pool andPerfume Genius’s “Slip Away"plays.
There’s also the scene onYou,when"Exile” by Taylor Swift and Bon Iverplayed as Joe dragged Love’s body through their house after she’d gotten so close to killing him.
Or inCrazy Rich AsianswhenKina Grannis’s cover of “Can’t Help Falling in Love"matched with Araminta’s extravagant wedding made for one of the most beautifully cinematic love scenes ever.
Listen, I could go on about this all day…but I wanna hear from you! What are your absolute favorite music moments from TV shows and movies and why? The best responses may be included in aBuzzFeed Communitypost.
