20 Movie Scenes That Were Made Epic By Perfect Song Choices

2. Shooting Up - Trainspotting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6uBkJSbQO0 The Song: Perfect Day - Lou Reed (1972) The Scene: Renton overdoses on heroin and imagines that he's in a carpeted coffin before being dropped outside of the hospital and rushed into accident and emergency. Why It's Great: You could cut the irony with a knife. Whilst there has been some debate as to whether Reed's song is actually a direct reference to heroin use, there's no doubting that it works perfectly for this bittersweet scene. Renton might be flying high but he's also in danger of losing control. The lyrics 'you're going to reap just what you sow' are very fitting.
