I feel like I could take on the entire Cobra Kai dojo every time I hear that song.

Elliot Smith's "Angeles" During Good Will Hunting.

My favorite is that scene in Malcolm X - Where near the end he's on his way to the speech where's he's gonna die and they're playing Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come" in the background.

By far the best movie montage is in SCARFACE in the segment where the song "Push it to the Limit" is playing as Tony Montona and his gang rob banks, sell cocaine, and then count tons of dough in their safe house.

Not far behind would be the montage in BLOW to ELO's Blinded by the Light. This segment happens right after Depp meets EL Pedrino (Pablo Escobar) and they decide to go into business. He starts out by saying something along the lines of "Cocaine was introduced to the American public..." at which point the scene is narrated and then just still photos flash of Depp's character meeting a bunch of 70s movie stars/music stars and doing tons of coke.

I don't think this is even the best music-over-sequence in this particular movie. "I Love LA" during the baseball game is better, methinks.
