There's also the musical attempt to communicate in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I'd rather not post a YouTube clip because it's better to watch everything that precedes it first.

Warning: May contain banjo

Few of my favourites.
The Motorcycle Diaries




The Perks of being a Wallflower (could have also named the part where Bowie's Heroes is played)




Funny no one mentioned this.




Flashbacks of a Fool




Garden State (slightly cheesy scene this, but I love it)

a fave of mine.

Also, my favorite film opening.

I spent a good five mins trying to remember that very scene, but couldn't, gave up and ended up posting my list.

Here's a link to a thread I did several years ago on this topic:

Theme To The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

A friend of mine (Ian Underwood) along with other things in the film played the 5 note theme the scientists used to communicate with the aliens: G, A, F, (octave lower) F, C. I was surprised to learn how much time they spent selecting those 5 pitches. Seems to me after the aliens landed, or before when they were getting their attention, the pitches were raised a few steps, but at the same intervals.

Wow! I looked him up and he has quite the resume. Blade Runner...Aliens...Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention's albums from '68 to '79...

Do you know how he feels about one of his most recognizable works being those five notes considering everything else he's done in his career?

Thunderstruck by AC/DC from Battleship

Crossroads, Guitar battle Ralph Macchio and Steve Vai

Staying with Ralph for the best (montage) around

I never asked him, but he's a very pragmatic guy, so I'm sure he didn't think anything special about it, since he's done so many thousands of studio gigs.

He worked very closely with film composer James Horner on many of Horner's movie gigs. When James died an untimely death a few years back, Ian went into semi-retirement.
