10 Movies With the Best Needle Drops of All Time According to the Cinemaholic

"Needle drop is when a filmmaker picks an already existing song and uses it to explain the theme of the film or to give a whole new charisma to the scene. Using a pre-existing song into film gives a feeling of nostalgia to the audience. There are times when filmmakers literally forewent the cinematic clichés of following their predecessor's way of using needle drops and did something totally out of box. Every great director or screenwriter has their own style of picking songs and dropping them in a dramatic fashion. There are directors like Quentin Tarantino, Richard Linklater and Paul Thomas Anderson (his earlier films) etc. who've used so many different needle drops and got amazing results out of it. This list takes a look at great needle drops in movies, all directed by different filmmakers." - thecinemaholic.com
