Videos: Pulp Fiction & Reservoir Dogs

Say what you will about Quentin Tarantino and his movies, but he and Karyn Rachtman (his music supervisor) seem to have an encyclopedic knowledge of music and have a real knack for picking the absolute perfect song for scenes. And he reclaims the songs so that whenever you hear them again, you immediately think of those specific scenes. I always get a little on edge whenever I hear "Stuck In the Middle With You" ever since I first saw Reservoir Dogs.

Kinematic Typography

This may not be new to some of you (it has about 1300 Diggs) but I just saw it today and was quite impressed. There was an article on a website called Always Watching that featured a bunch of kinematic typography videos. Moving text with audio from popular scenes in movies. It's easier just to watch it. Here's one from Pulp Fiction.
