20 Movie Scenes That Were Made Epic By Perfect Song Choices

5. Johnny Boy Enters - Mean Streets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ7UwnfQ2nA The Song: Jumpin' Jack Flash - The Rolling Stones (1968) The Scene: De Niro's wildly irresponsible and reckless Johnny Boy strolls, with a girl on each arm, into the bar where Harvey Keitel awaits him. That's basically all it is: De Niro walking into the bar to meet Keitel. In slow-motion and with the aid of a classy tracking shot. Why It's Great: It's just so irresistibly cool. It's just a shot of two guys meeting in a bar and lasts about a minute, but it's instantly memorable. This is thanks in no small part to the presence of Jumpin' Jack Flash on the soundtrack. The Stones, who were not yet charging obscene amounts of money for concert tickets, were the perfect band to play Johnny Boy into the film.
