Few bands have shaped film soundtracks as consistently as The Beatles, especially when studios manage to secure the actual master recordings. These songs can enrich an ending, elevate a montage, or redefine a character’s emotional state. What follows is a collection of times when filmmakers used Beatles tracks to intensify the impact of a scene.
#1: “Baby, You’re a Rich Man” – The Social Network (2010)
David Fincher closes his film with the full original master of “Baby, You’re a Rich Man,” using its blend of celebration and alienation to highlight Mark Zuckerberg’s emotional solitude. The song continues into the credits, leaving audiences with a musical counterpoint to the protagonist’s complicated rise and personal disconnect.
