Discuss. Or, y’know, don’t.
For those unfamiliar with CineFix lists, they cheat standard top 10 lists by breaking the category into ten different subcategories (or ten different ways the category is done in films) then chooses the best example of said subcategory along with teasing some honorable mentions.

I don’t think that would qualify for this video, since they’re only talking about music taking place within the world of the film.

It’s one of the funniest instances of breaking the fourth wall in film history (and not nearly appreciated enough).
This is a film which is filled with incongruities, but by the time you get near the end of the film - you’re used to how the world in the film operates. Then this happens and brings you right back out of the film again.

I’m having trouble thinking of other movies that have done it, but for atmospheric immersion into the world of the movie you’re watching, it’s gotta be Blade R unner.
Just remembered this one for runner-up.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fantastic moment in a fantastic film. I even spoofed it once in my college film class. It just doesn’t fit with this particular list because the music isn't in world. As in it isn't being played and can't be heard by the characters.

This is a bad list then.

Not a bad list, just a very specific list. Personally I like it, because the music on the list doesn't just support the feel of the story, it's an active part of the story. The characters in the movie can play it, sing it, dance to it, fight to it, yell for it to be turned down or turned up. It's as real and present for them as it is for you.

I was so sad that they didn’t use Dolph Lundgren for the adversary in the Thomas Jane Punisher —i t was a missed opportunity to call back to the 1989 version.

These two moments just hit me, but I lack the experience of critique to fully explain and convey why I love what they do to be successful.
Using the key fob killing the car alarm as the same moment to nix the music is such a fantastic transitional trick in The Way of the Gun , I’m certain that I missed the detail the first couple times—a nd then the music comes back in the moment the first punch lands. Also, this clip’s an excuse to watch Sarah Silverman’s most inspired (also hilariously vulgar) movie role to date, credited as “raving bitch.”
And this scene from The Usual Suspects always stands out in my mind; the tone of the music so perfectly imbues unease and tension, the audience is on edge wondering what will happen next--but you’re absolutely certain something nefarious is going on because of the notes . It fits wonderfully with the rest of the film, where you’re not sure what’s true or if you have the whole picture of people’s motivations. And I just love the cuts of the plane landing sequence timed with the beats.
