- Coldplay - "Don't Panic" from "Garden State"
- The respective soundtracks to "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" and "What We Do Is Secret"
- The random spastic burst of free jazz in that one episode of "SpongeBob Squarepants" (as if it counts)
A lot of serious movies that I have are more scored than anything. So I couldn't really think of any songs that reminded me of The Departed, American History X or Resevoir Dogs.
