We know music and film are the average BuzzFeed reader's forte, so we thought it made sense to ask the BuzzFeed Community what their favourite "needle drops" in films are.
Here are 28 needle drops that people said they loved:
1. Trainspotting – "Born Slippy" by Underworld.

"Renton's life has been a nightmare – until the final scene. 'Born Slippy' begins to play, and the song builds while Renton decides to steal his friend's money. He creeps out of the hotel room and into the sunshine of London, and the song reaches its climax as the credits roll. Utterly euphoric. And people ask why I call this my happy movie."
2. Wayne's World – "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.

"No music scene in film is more iconic than Wayne and Garth head-banging to 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in the car."
3. Kill Bill Vol.2 – "About Her" by Malcolm McLaren.

"I love the scene when Beatrix slowly enters Bill's house, sees the young girl, and it dawns on her that she's her daughter!"
4. The Royal Tenenbaums – "These Days" by Nico.

"For me, the needle drop that springs to mind is definitely that bit in The Royal Tenenbaums when Margot gets off the bus and 'These Days' by Nico plays. I'd never heard that song before, and the whole moment is just so well shot and scored and Gwyneth looks AMAZING. 10/10 for me... the rest of the film is meh."
"We get a classic Wes Anderson slo-mo walk set to the lovely melancholy sound of Nico. I love the song, the movie, and the way it all comes together."
5. Jojo Rabbit – "Helden (Heroes)" by David Bowie.

"The movie was way more of an emotional ride than I was expecting, so this finale was very cathartic."
6. Star Trek: Beyond – "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys.

"I think the scene where The Enterprise crew play 'Sabotage' whilst they defeat the swarm ships is the best, and nobody can convince me otherwise!"
7. Say Anything – "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel.

"It's gotta be John Cusack holding a boombox outside his true love's house and playing that beautiful song for her."
8. Goodfellas – "Then He Kissed Me" by The Crystals.

11. Battleship – "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC.

"I love the bit where they ask the retired veterans of the USS Missouri to return to their ship because they're the only ones who know how to operate it. 'Thunderstruck' starts playing as they prep the ship and train the young crew on what's what – it's pretty bitchin'."
12. Goodfellas – "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream.

"That slow zoom in to DeNiro as he smokes a cigarette – you know he's decided to kill Morris."
13. Magnolia – "Wise Up" by Aimee Mann.

"The scene where they all sing along to 'Wise Up' gets me choked up just thinking about it."
14. Bad Times at the El Royale – "Hush" by Deep Purple.

"When Chris Hemsworth is dancing while eating pie to 'Hush.' It's hard reconciling that the guy who plays Thor is such an unhinged and terrible person in that movie."
15. Baby Driver – "Bellbottoms" by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
View this video on YouTube
"I really love the opening chase to the tune 'Bellbottoms.' It starts out with him lip-syncing, then the robbers get back in the car, and he moves in reverse instead of forward. That kind of sets the tone for the chase and the rest of the movie."
16. Love Actually – "Both Sides Now" By Joni Mitchell.
