Some of the most well known examples are in the Martin Scorcese gangster films, but in your opinion what is your favourite usage of a rolling stones in fictional film or television?
Personally i really loved Monkey Man in Goodfellas, such a great song. Also Jumping jack flash in Mean Streets and Gimme Shelter in Goodellas and The Departed.
A couple of years ago the BBC wildlife series Autumnwatch followed a group of stags during the mating season - lots of spectacular footage of antler-to-antler fighting and so on. But even the winner couldn't get the females to have anything to do with him until they were in the mood: cue a montage of shots of the poor beast getting the brush-off again and again.
Quote Father Ted Is it true that Martin Scorsese has used Gimme Shelter in every one of his films except Shine a Light?
No that is not true, but he did use it in Goodfellas, Casino and The Departed. Mick Jagger made the joke that Shine a Light was the first Scorcese film not to include Gimme Shelter
