Subject: How many Vietnam era movies have the song "Gimme Shelter" played in them?
Written By: ChuckyG on 09/10/09 at 8:59 am
It seems like a cliche for that song to be used in a movie set during the Vietnam era, but off the top of my head I can't think of which ones really have it. Full Metal Jacket? Apocalypse Now?

I know Martin Scorsese has used it in 3 of His Films {Casino , Goodfellas, The Departed}

Also "For what it's worth" from Buffalo Springfield is a popular Vietnam era song.

The one I frequently associate with Vietnam-era movies is 'Paint it Black' by Rolling Stones.
A version of it served as the theme song for original network episodes of the popular 80s TV series 'Tour of Duty' :)
It was removed from the DVD releases >:(
