Street Fighting Man in V for Vendetta.

(and just for a laugh, Nineteeth Nervous Breakdown in Minions).

Rip This Joint was in a movie . Unfortunately I can't remember the name !

PIB at the very end of "Full Metal Jacket" right after the main character realies he lives in a world of sh!t but he doesn't care anymore.

Kubrick should have been spanked though, for speeding-up the track. He who cared so much for the artistic integrity of his own work didn't care much for the band's...

Beat me to it!

I recently watched a movie from 2011, called "Green Hornet" which features "Live With Me," and I wondered how many movies have music by the Rolling Stones. I don't remember if this topic has ever been discussed here before. I searched and came across this website which might be of interest and could even be the subject of a poll here among fans about the best Rolling Stones song in a movie, or where a Rolling Stones song best fits.

I can't think of any (non-music) movie that features more Rolling Stones songs than Scorsese's Casino:
1. Long Long While, 2. Satisfaction, 3. Heart of Stone, 4. Sweet Virginia, 5. Can't You Hear Me Knocking, 6. Gimme Shelter (a. studio and b. live version)
As far as I remember the movie also features a cover version of Satisfaction by someone else.

Two off the top of my head;

There are loooooads of Stones references in 'Some Kind Of Wonderful' (including the song Miss Amanda Jones).

Doom And Gloom is in one of The Avengers films.



...but I am pretty sure there is an existing thread here somewhere with loads listed!

Don't forget Apocalypse Now.

no music from them but in the film over the edge from 1979 there's a kid holding some girls

”Over the years, A-list musicians including The Rolling Stones, Sabrina Carpenter, Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna and Céline Dion have decried his administration's use of their music in everything from promotional videos for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to campaign rallies.

The Stones have previously sent the Trump administration cease-and-desist orders in the past and have threatened to sue over the use of their songs, including "You Can't Always Get What You Want," at campaign rallies. USA TODAY has reached out to reps for The Rolling Stones for comment.”

seems like those who made the movie never read the song's lyrics

I have not seen it myself, but an NYT review reports that the "Melania" film opens with the Stone's Gimme Shelter. I guess that ABKCO gave permission and received a royalty.

One of the best uses of a minor Stones song is Jump on Top of Me , in Ready to Wear,1994movie

Amazing this wasn't on STRIPPED. At least it made it onto the Hope Floats soundtrack.

Not quite sure where to put this. It’s not a song, but on Zootopia 2, there is a poster on the apartment wall that says Roaring Stones.

Per Variety: "The movie opens with a lengthy sequence, scored to the Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter,” in which Melania enters a car to leave Mar-a-Lago, puts on sunglasses, exits that car, boards a plane, removes her sunglasses and sits down, her head hitting the headrest just as the “Rape! Murder!” chorus of the song kicks in." And yes, ABKCO has the rights to the song.

Please ... no talk about politics.

The Rolling Stones deliberately decided that giving up all rights to all songs to be 100% rid of Klein was a Good Deal.

No politics, mate.

Great song to open a great movie…

Sweet Virginia in Knives Out.

" With the Rolling Stones, it’s a unique situation with the the ABKCO years versus the later years. And so when people heard “Gimme Shelter” at the beginning, they’re like, did the Stones sign off on this? But they don’t have to with that part of their catalog."

Mick Jagger was actually involved. He gave us his blessing, and we were thrilled about that one. We worked very close with them on that. That wasn’t something that we just pulled out. And that wasn’t a political thing. With the Stones, they were just like, “Oh, you’re making a nice movie.” They were like able to get over the hurdle: It’s not politics — it’s just some story about some woman that is going from being a civilian back into the White House, and this movie looks cool and Brett (Ratner) is doing a cool job and Melania Trump is focused, and let’s do it. We showed it to them and they were impressed. [Reps for the Stones said they couldn’t speak directly to Beckman’s account of the group’s approval, but reiterated that ABKCO owns the song.]

This is about song rights. Please don't make this political.

British band The Rolling Stones may be facing issues with Donald Trump over Melania’s use of their song. A source had revealed to Radar Online that this internal conflict could lead to the band getting their U.S. visas revoked.

According to this source, “There is a growing belief that this dispute has taken a sinister turn. The fear being voiced is that Trump could look at ways to hit back, including targeting the band’s ability to tour in the U.S. by raising issues around past drug histories and visa eligibility. It really is a sinister turn in this dispute.”

The source also noted, “The suggestion is that the Stones were not impressed with the film and made that known in private, and that has not gone down well.”

The band had always been very vocal about their drug use. Mick Jagger, the lead singer, even stated that the album, Their Satanic Majesties Request, was not that good because they were high while creating it, as reported by FHE Health.

In the past, The Rolling Stones have also clashed with Trump over his use of their songs in his campaign. The band had issued a cease and desist back in 2016, when Trump played the song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” at a convention.

The source also noted, “The suggestion is that the Stones were not impressed with the film and made that known in private, and that has not gone down well.

In response, a representative of The Rolling Stones even told Billboard, “The Rolling Stones have never given permission to the Trump campaign to use their songs. [The band] have requested that they cease all use immediately,” as reported by the Irish Star.

The band even threatened legal action against the president when he tried using the song again in 2020. Their legal team stated they were working with BMI, a performing rights organization, to stop unauthorized use of their songs, as reported by the BBC.

Now, Melania had used the soundtrack “Gimme Shelter” for an opening sequence of her movie, Melania. Marc Beckman, one of its producers, told Variety that Jagger was involved in the whole process, as reported by The Guardian.

Beckman claimed, “We worked very close with them on that.”

“And that wasn’t a political thing. With the Stones, they were just like, ‘Oh, you’re making a nice movie.’ they were able to get over the hurdle. It’s not politics – it’s just some story about some woman that is going from being a civilian back into the White House, and this movie looks cool and Brett [Ratner] is doing a cool job and Melania Trump is focused, and let’s do it. We showed it to them and they were impressed,” Beckman added.

However, a source close to the band denied this claim to The Guardian. A spokesperson for the band also stated that licensing of songs was handled by the rights holders ABKCO and Melania’s producers.

The band members were not directly involved in the making of the film.

I agree with the Radar Online however I live just a few miles from the White House and this was also on the local news.

So, ICE's going to get Keith and kick him out of the country? (Although it was claimed that he had US citizenship but I think he denied it later).

It is what it is.

Visas being revoked is a new wrinkle.

The Guardian story is several weeks old.

The news was new to me and nothing about in past threads.

I see why people stop making posts here.
