my list, in no particular order, of when a soundtrack has absolutely went off it’s tits to give some of the best moments in any media.

1. infamous quicksilver scene from x-men apocalypse (”sweet dreams are made of this” playing as he saves everyone from the manor)
2. the inexplicable use of supermassive black hole by muse  in twilight during the baseball scene
3. the scene in umbrella academy where five fucks up all those agents in the diner while “istanbul (not constantinople)” plays in the background
4. what’s up danger playing from into the spiderverse when miles takes the leap of faith
5. the start of spiderman homecoming when they played the orchestral version of the spiderman theme for the first time
6. sweet victory
7. “sitting there useless as two shits hey, turn around bend over i’ll show you where my shoe fits”
   
8. the part in rwby where they slingshot ruby at the nevermore while the final part of red like roses pt.2 plays, the guitars blaring as she goes up the cliff and ending with the beheading
9. “I AM MOANA”
   
10. busted from phineas and ferb
11. the end of guardians of the galaxy volume 2 where they start playing father and son
12. the part in thor ragnarok when hela asks thor “what were you the god of again?” before thor attacks her and starts going batshit crazy on the undead army while led zeppelin’s immigrant song plays

as this is by no means a comprehensive list, please add any soundtrack moments that were so Fucking Good they made you have a physical reaction.

In the Babylon 5 episode “And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place”, when the titular gospel song plays over the scene of the war criminal being beaten to death by his victims in slo-mo.

Cowboy Bebop ep. 5 when “Rain” is playing as Spike approaches the church, then after the massacre, “Green Bird” plays as he falls from the window and his life flashes before his eyes.
