Right before Madsen's character cuts off that guy's ear:

No no no, you're thinking of that other movie I've seen a hundred times. Ah yes, The Conformist.
Resevoir Dogs.... sh!t, you're right and I'm wrong. phuck me in the head. Skullphuck me.
"And Then He Kissed Me" by the Ronettes
Played during Henry and Karen's courtship scene.
yeah, you gotta love movies that glorify dirtbags.
Oh wait, we do it with Pre all the time
Derek and the Domino's "Layla" when De Niro offs Sharon Stone's character. Awesome soundtrack.
I liked "Gimme Shelter" during the crucifixion scene in "The Passion." Ooh, the storm was threatening his very life today, indeed.
the song that plays in the background when they're running on the beach is a classic, too.
I was a little confused when during the prison scene when the garlic was being sliced very thin, Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols started singing "Anarchy in the UK, it's coming some day, maybe," but I think I liked it.
"Green Onions"
"speedo" by The cadillacs
"now they often call me speedo but my real name is mister."

You wiseguys can't keep your mobster movies straight.
Best song in the whole movie was Harry Nilssons "Jump Into the Fire" near the end of the movie. Perfect for the scene, it brought to the surface Hill's edginess and paranoia just before he got arrested. “Keep stirring the sauce”

You too, Shorty.
"Monkey Man" and the most of the songs when Henry is being followed by the Helicopters (George Harrison, Joe Jackson I think was one)

You are so right. Because someone who once died at the wheel when many people think he was drunk is a dirtbag, regardless of anything else he ever did in his life.
Just like those guys who stole, cheated, did drugs and murdered people all the time. Same thing, really. Why do people treat these two differently? I'll never understand.
