Was there ever a better soundtrack choice than bits of Wagner's Gotterdammerung for the movie Excalibur?

Now that I think about it, the snippet of Gotterdammerung — heard as the scratchy soundtrack to a cowboy movie the rapist was watching as Bud White sneaked into his house and shot him in L.A. Confidential — was also perfect.

    L.A. Confidential is my favorite movie, pretty much. I know it backwards and forwards.

    The rapist is watching some cartoon. At least, when Bud White sneaks in and shoots him, then shoots the doorway and plants the gun.

    He's actually watching an old (well, probably not old in the time set for the movie) cowboy movie, which has Wagner as a soundtrack, IIRC.

    I'll have to boot up the DVD tonight to check.
