Films from the genre of Social Realism / British Gangster films tend to use British music from the sixties. Music like this is used to celebrate British culture and to give the films target audience a sense of nostalgia. Music from artists such as:
The Yardbirds: 'Heart Full of Soul' (London Boulevard)
The Animals: 'Please Don't Let me be Misunderstood' (Layercake)
Other films such as 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' and 'Snatch' use music from a wide range of generations. yet again, music like this is used for both a sense of nostalgia for the films target audience, as well as the films directors (Guy Ritchie) motif. Music such as:
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
James Brown: 'The Boss' (Predominately a 70's Artist)
The Stone Roses: 'Fools Gold' (1989)
'Snatch'
The Specials: 'Ghost Town' (1981)
10cc: 'Dreadlock Holdiay' (1978)
Mirwais: 'Disco Science'
