Hopefully this hasn't been done yet.

Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Lookin' Out My Back Door" in that scene in The Big Lebowski where The Dude is driving, drops his roach in his lap, pours beer all over himself and crashes his car.

I kinda like the use of "Where is my mind" at the end of Fight Club.

The only reason I checked this thread was to say the same.

Is it "monkey man" by the Stones in Goodfellas? That ruled.

That is probably the best use of a Pixies' song ever.
That includes their albums.

Opening credits to Hal Ashby's Coming Home - "Out of Time" by The Rolling Stones. Intense.

Off the top of my head,

The GYBE song at the beginning of 28 Days Later

Joe Cocker's Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood in Layer Cake

The Bangles' Hazy Shade Of Winter in Less Than Zero

Leonard Cohen's Everybody Knows in Pump Up The Volume

Good Vibrations in Vanilla Sky

Leonard Cohen's Waiting For The Miracle in Natural Born Killers

Good Morning Captain in Kids

Demonlover is only an OK-ish movie but Neu!'s "Hero" over the opening credits is electrifying; it got me into Neu! several years ago. But the best use of a song in a move? Obvious: "Jumpin' Jack Flash" in Mean Streets, when Keitel waits at the bar as DeNiro comes in. I don't even like the song that much but that scene is unfuckwithable.

The effect of 'Hurdy Gurdy' man playing during the CREDITS of 'Zodiac' was indescribably creepy, at least I thought.

That reminds me, Bonnie Tyler's Holding Out For A Hero in Footloose
