The music of Miles Davis (who would’ve been 90 yesterday) does this for me. The opening of “Bitches Brew,” for example, or any number of places in Miles Ahead. (In fact, merely thinking about either of these will do it.)
As for films, the scene in Godfather II when Vincenzo Pentangeli shows up with Michael Corleone during Frankie Pentangeli’s Senate testimony does this to me, as well. Something about the editing, right when Michael (who’s being searched) turns to face Frankie.
