Post-rock in movies.
Johnny C:
Explosions In The Sky too.
There was a great piece I read in The Globe & Mail a little while back on the guy in charge of the soundtracks of the various incarnations of CSI. They actually had to make him promise that he wouldn't use Radiohead anymore without notifying everyone involved because he'd snuck them into an episode of each series in one week. Cool guy, terrible shows.

"We're No Here" was used in the episode "Cyberwoman" of the BBC sci-fi series Torchwood. The track was also used in the third episode of the ninth series of Top Gear, along with "Auto Rock", as the Top Gear team went on a road trip in the United States. The BBC used two more Mogwai tracks on their programmes, with both "Hunted by a Freak" and "Mogwai Fear Satan" featuring in the corporation's Ultimate Rock Climb.
CSI: Miami has also used Mogwai's tracks from time to time. "We're No Here" and "Auto Rock" were included in episode "Rio", and tracks "I Know You Are But What Am I" and "Like Herod" were used in episodes "Homebodies" and "Spark of Life" respectively. Another track, "Tracy", was used in the CSI: Miami episode "Hurricane Anthony".
"Take Me Somewhere Nice" and "Kids Will Be Skeletons" were used in the sixth season of Sex and the City,[9] while "Close Encounters" was used in the fourth season.[10] "Take Me Somewhere Nice" was also used in The Shield in its first-season episode "Pay in Pain". Another episode in the first season, "Dragonchasers", used the Mogwai song "New Paths to Helicon, Pt. 1".
"New Paths to Helicon, Pt. 1" was also used in the third episode of the first season of Friday Night Lights. "Hunted by a Freak" was used frequently in the reality television show The X Factor, in addition to appearing in the 2007 US drama series Life.
The title track from "Come on Die Young", "Cody", was used in the second episode of the first season of Skins as well as the BBC drama Coming Down The Mountain (coincidentally starring Nicholas Hoult). Finally, "Take Me Somewhere Nice", "Christmas Song" and "2 Rights Make 1 Wrong" were used in various Queer as Folk (US) episodes.

There's also a Sigur Ros song (Olsen Olsen maybe?) in this random documentary about Bill "Spaceman" Lee, when they're on a bus in Cuba going to a baseball game.

--- Quote from: Kid van Pervert on 02 Jan 2008, 22:27 ---How much involvement did Mogwai have on that soundtrack, really? My understanding that Clint Mansell was the big shot on that project. I'm a bit confused.

It was composed by Clint Mansell, yeah. He did the soundtracks for Pi and Requiem for a Dream, so Aronofsky wanted to work with him again. From what I can gather, it was performed primarily by Kronos, with contributions by Mogwai as well as a couple other people. Regardless, it's an amazing album.
