Memphis indie filmmaker John Michael McCarthy always has top notch soundtracks for his low budget films (Sore Losers, Teenage Tupelo, Super Starlet AD etc.) with the likes of Oblivians, Guitar Wolf, '68 Comeback, and Royal Pendletons.

I agree with the Wes Anderson and Tarantino references completely. I can't imagine eithers' movies without the tremendous music they utilize to push the movie forward. We just watched The Darjeeling Limited, for example. Not just a great soundtrack, but a great use of music to carry this highly entertaining movie to another level.

Jim Jarmusch should make the short list as well.
I thought Scorsese was doing a doc on George Harrison next?

couldn't agree more with JP.

Although I agree with your choice of Scorsese, mention should go to John Waters, who always manages to find obscure songs that are always appropriate to the action onscreen

I would easily add Wes Anderson to the shortlist of directors who work well with music. The soundtrack alone to Rushmore is reason enough.

I'll accept your challenge Peter. Two directors that comes to mind who are better at putting music in their movies than Martin Scorsese are Quentin Tarantino and Cameron Crowe. Both directors' choices in music not only propels the story, it also provides iconic moments that make their movie timeless. Unlike Scorsese, who uses the same Stones songs in every movie.

Wow. this video reminds me of all these fabulous scorsese moments. I had no idea he used "Gimme Shelter" so many times. So fascinating
