Breaking Bad: Best Musical Montage? (Major Spoilers) (1 Viewer)

[Sarnoff]

So many great musical moments on this show. Focusing mainly on montages: 'story-telling mini music videos', and not just songs which played over great scenes (or, actual music videos, like the Ballad of Heisenberg or Gale's karaoke video), please select "the best".

Please consider all aspects of the scene: song selection, camera shots, acting, directing, and editing.

Please post links if possible if voting "Other".

Crystal Blue Persuasion, with an honorable mention to Shimmy Shimmy Yeah--Jesse inflating the suit was hysterical.

I don't think of the Lily of the Valley reveal as much of a montage, even though that is one of the best moments the show ever had.

Crystal Blue Persuasion is my pick. Perfect song to use considering the footage they were showing us. Windy is a close second.

I have to say, too, that the Ginza Samba one with Walt and Gale cooking is very underrated. The music comes off as so light-hearted, like two science guys are just working in a lab all innocence and whatnot. Amazing use of music there.

That was my vote, though the first one which came to mind was Jesse driving around with Mike.

I appreciate the effort that went into creating this pole.

These two are like 1A and 1B for me. IIRC, when watching each of these episodes, these were the only two times I immediately re-wound just to watch the montage again.

No montages of Flynn eating breakfast?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Crystal blue persuasion was a masterwork, and what I voted for. But the violence of the prison montage as compared to the sweetness and lightness of Nat King Cole was shocking to the system when i watched it. Iit was one of the most 5 Holy #### moments of TV watching I have ever experienced.
