The propulsive thump of Iggy Pop’s “Lust For Life” will be forever associated with a gaggle of Scottish junkies running from the cops in Trainspotting ; 28 Days Later makes a brief moment of levity more memorable with Grandaddy’s “AM 180 ”; even a forgotten flop like A Life Less Ordinary boasts a standout song-and-dance sequence.
