Was just thinking about this yesterday and I thought it'd be a good basis for a thread. Music is a very important component to film and can make them incredibly memorable.

What are some films you feel as though have had a lasting impact on your life and changed your taste in music? I would say that my biggest influence came from the American Pie series of films. They feature a lot of Pop Punk songs and bands. I'd never really sat down and listened to that sort of music before. My family and the few friends I had didn't play that sort of music either. I remember just falling in love with the catchiness of the tracks and the speedy vocals. Sum-41 being the biggest one and also Blink-182, especially their song Mutt which in turn got me hooked on their entire Enema of the State album.

These days I associate that genre with summer, friends, growing up and making memories. Songs such as Fatlip and In Too Deep evoke so many emotions.
