    The Rolling Stones’ song “Gimme Shelter” speaks musically and lyrically to apocalyptic beliefs underpinning countercultural representations of the 1960s, accruing additional layers of meaning via its various screen roles. This discussion focuses on its use in Martin Scorsese’s GoodFellas (1990), Casino (1995), and The Departed (2006).
