Review of the 00's: Pop Music in Film

I’ve finally started my review of the decade in film, so I thought I’d begin with a section low on writing but big on impact - pop music in film. Unlike film scores composed for a feature, these needle-drops and covers display a different kind of creative skill and can create some of the most enduring movie moments. I’ve chosen what I think is the best use of a popular track from one film each year. Note this is not the best track just on its own (although in some cases this applies), but rather my opinion on the best marriage of one piece of art with another. I wont write anything alongside, you’ve either seen the films or you haven’t, and music is very subjective. Beware I will be using clips in-film where I can find them, so SPOILER WARNING!
