I'll never be able to hear the words "Mmm whatcha say" without thinking of Marissa Cooper on The O.C.
🚨Warning: There are some spoilers ahead!🚨
If you're anything like me, you probably watch a LOT of TV and movies. And you probably also know that there's literally nothing better than when the show or movie you're watching has an absolutely *flawless* needle drop moment.
The WB
I will never hear "Mmm whatcha say" without being able to think of Marissa Cooper from The O.C.
Like, somehow the creators have found THE song that perfectly captures every single nuance and emotion in the scene you're watching...and then leaves YOU with this visceral experience.
HBO
It's even better when you can only think of this moment whenever you hear the song again.
For instance, on Stranger Things, when Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" was so triumphant and sorrowful that of course it'd be the only song that could save Max from Vecna.
Netflix
Because not only was it an iconic '80s jam, but it also made Max realize she'd do anything to trade places with her brother Billy, who died one season before.
Or in Booksmart, when Amy has this coming-of-age moment as she swims through the pool and Perfume Genius's "Slip Away" plays.
United Artists Releasing
This one's so good because it's simultaneously a "coming into your own," an "everything will be okay," and a "first heartbreak" moment.
There's also the scene on You, when "Exile" by Taylor Swift and Bon Iver played as Joe dragged Love's body through their house after she'd gotten so close to killing him.
Netflix
"I think I've seen this film before, and I didn't like the ending..." It's like Taylor wrote the song just for this moment.
Or in Crazy Rich Asians when Kina Grannis's cover of "Can't Help Falling in Love" matched with Araminta's extravagant wedding made for one of the most beautifully cinematic love scenes ever.
Warner Bros.
And then when Nick and Rachel make eye contact — you can literally FEEL the love in this room.
