Line 29:
* ''[[The Quiet Earth]]'': Crossed with [[Shopping Montage]] as Zac enjoys everything that the abandoned world has to offer: for example, playing "trains" with real trains while dressed in the most expensive suit he could steal and saluting mannequin passengers with a Cuban cigar.
* ''[[Trainspotting]]'' features a montage in which Renton, Spud and Sickboy start using heroin again, set to the fantastically sleazy ''Nightclubbing'' by Iggy Pop. Also during this montage, Tommy becomes an addict, Sickboy rambles on about [[James Bond|Bond Girls]], Renton gives a long list of all the drugs they took, and all of them commit various crimes to fund their habit- including [[Crowning Moment of Funny|strolling nonchalantly into a nursing home and stealing a TV.]] The "Good Times" end when {{spoiler|Allison's baby daughter dies of neglect.}}
:There's another montage when Renton moves to London and gets a job as a property letting agent, in which he enjoys the trickery of real estate, earning money and actually ''saving'' it, and remaining in contact with his girlfriend.

* ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' presents one of these when the ghostbusting business is doing well.
* ''[[Chasing Amy]]'' has a scene like this, showing the growing friendship between Holden and Alyssa. It even has cake!
* The midpoint of ''[[Scarface]]'' has one of these set to the tune of "Push it to the Limit" after Tony has taken over the Miami drug trade.
* In ''[[Plunkett and Macleane]]'' the film shows a string of successful heists and robberys being pulled off by the titular pair in an awesome montage. All while their notoriety rises.
* In ''[[Scotland, PA]]'', interspersed with [[Hard Work Montage|the scenes of business booming at McBethMacBeth's restaurant]], there are scenes of the McBethsMacBeths enjoying the wealth from the business.
* Brilliantly parodied in ''[[Wet Hot American Summer]]'' when the counselors go into town and within about an hour progress from innocent teen fun to living in a crack house and shooting themselves up with heroin.
* Used in ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off|Ferris Buellers Day Off]]'' to show Ferris, Cameron, and Sloane having fun in various Chicago institutions.
* ''[[The Naked Gun]]'' contains a montage of Frank and Jane frolicking happily through various settings (including a showing of ''Platoon''!). She promptly hangs a lampshade, saying "I can't believe we managed all this in '''one''' afternoon!"
