some of my favorite music cameos in film
the lost boys (1987)
echo & the bunnymen, people are strange
i have to start with this iconic cover of a great song, because of how perfectly it's worked into the beginning sequence. really doesn't get better than this. oh, i'm biased of course, because it's one of my favorite movies. if you haven't watched it yet, you haven't started your life yet.

dazed and confused (1993)
lynyrd skynyrd, tuesday's gone
does this one sort of go without saying? i really could've put anything from the soundtrack this movie uses and it'd be suitable to list.

iron man (2008)
black sabbath, iron man
not a huge superhero person, but i was an ironman kid, and these end credits blew my mind. i love you black sabbath. i love you 2000's marvel.

the devil's rejects (2005)
allman brothers band, midnight rider
if i'd never lived in the south, this movie might not've appealed to me very much. but it does. i can never quite hate rob zombie.

karate kid iii (1989)
glenn medeiros, high wire
this scene is so damn fun. i actually thought silver was the perfect co-villain in this. the dojo scene with him and daniel is genuinely harrowing. unpopular opinion, i know, but here's what i got: this movie was my favorite in the trilogy. then 1, then 2. i actually didn't even hate cobra kai's show. i know. kill me about it.

river's edge (1986)
slayer, tormentor
such a weird little movie, but i had to include it. highly unusual song pick that convinced me to watch in the first place. i need every outfit in here. i probably already own every outfit in here.
