I am going to go with "You Can't Always Get What You Want" from The Big Chill, although this movie is worse than anything on your poll, I really liked the use of this song in it.

I voted for 'Casino' though I have a soft spot for 'I Am Waiting' in 'Rushmore. '2000 Man' was perfect for the chase in 'Bottle Rocket'. '19th Nervous Breakdown' was also great in 'Anger Management' (the last flick I heard they're music in). I don't remember what scene 'Wild Horses' was in, in 'Adaptation'.
'Welcome the Thunderdome, bitch'

Neither do I, but imdb lists it as being on the soundtrack. :(

It is a scene in a car...I think it is with LaRoche and Susan...I think.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

this particular song u speak of is used even betta in casino in a super badass montage. check it out yo.

btw the best use of any song in any scorsese movie is sunshine of my luv in goodfellas, w/ the shot of deniro. classic good stuff.

Well, I'd say Gimme Shelter, but I suppose I shouldn't take such an obvious route.

I'll go with Royal Tennenbaums. I always hoped to use Ruby Tuesday in a movie, and they beat me to it. But when I heard it come on the soundtrack I knew for sure that I loved the movie to death.

i vote "Satisfaction" for its reoccurring role in MELVIN AND HOWARD. i wish Mary Steanbergin (sp?) would have tap danced on tour with the Rolling Stones.


i actually voted "Ruby Teusday" from The Royal Tenenbaums because this is how i first discovered the Rolling Stones. or maybe it was "Can't you hear me knocking " from Blow. or maybe it was "paint it black" from the kevin bacon movie that ripped off the Sixth Sense. well, which ever movie came out first in that case.

I went with FMJ because the use of  The Rolling Stones in Goodfellas is good but it's shadowed by the fact that the use of Layla is a lot better.

I can't give such credit to any director other than Scorsese for this.  Among all I think Goodfellas will always be the number one film for the usage of the Rolling Stones....There's something about his Camera Movement and Pacing in that film that just fits too perfectly with the soundtrack. ...As much of a competition Wes Anderson & Coppola give I think Scorsese will always have the best touch with Rolling Stones usage.

:shock: Big Chill....?  Bad movie....?

Well, I'm glad someone at least saw it.  It's one of my favorite movies.

I also thought The Tennenbaums use of Ruby Tuesday was fucking cool.  I voted Full Metal Jacket.
