Quit Using "Gimme Shelter" In Every Damn Movie

try another version ... http://youtu.be/PTrV2J3YRiA

Gimme Shelter is the greatest fuckin song of all time. Scorcese has infinite license to use it, as well as any other director that uses it properly for a solid film. Layer Cake, the Nip/Tuck episode, GoodFellas, Casino, the Departed (weak in the film in the second occurrence but great for the trailer and intro) and Flight trailer were all fantastic. It's impossible to overplay and I never want its use to stop, as long as the context works and the song is respected.

I nominate 'Lux Aeterna' for the musical score version of this topic. It went perfect with 'requiem for a dream' but then got tragically overused; even making its way into numerous sports human interest segments and montages.

Wild Hoses is being used now

Thank You for stating the obvious!

London Calling for anything British.

you are spot on! on this one.

There's a lot of overused songs. I personally have heard can't always get what you want and sympathy for the devil enough times for this lifetime

Yeah, overused.

It's a great song.

It's the new "Spirit in the Sky"

Totally agree with this, and, while we're at it, can we ban documentary makers from ever using another Adele tune? (Or is that problem limited to British production companies only?)

Its a the slo-mo shots that accompany it that should stop.

Owner of the song(s) have to like it. $$$$$$$$$$

"smooth up in ya" by the bullet boys should be in every movie.

And using Sympathy for the Devil every time John Goodman appears (Flight) was just fine. Hey when it works, it works.

Come on... It's great in every case!

"No, this one is different. In this one Denzel Washington plays an angry black man bent on revenge!"

Why are you so upset about it? It happens to be a great song!

Are you kidding me? That song should be in more movies!

It should be titled, Scorsese needs to get a new song

Agreed. Love the song, but it's painfully overused.
