One of my favorite movie scenes is when Tuco Ramirez is running around the cemetery to "The Ecstasy of Gold".

That's one of my favorite scenes in the movies too. The music definitely is great there.

"Wise Up" by Aimee Mann - Magnolia
"What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong - Good Morning, Vietnam
"Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd - Forrest Gump

and

if we're accepting Ecstacy of Gold, then...

"Adagio for Strings" by Samuel Barber - Platoon
"Clair de Lune" by Claude Debussy - Ocean's 11
Whatever that music was playing when the Bride fights O-Ren Ishii in Kill Bill, Vol. 1

And...

"Full of Grace" by Sarah McLachlan - episode entitled "Becoming" on Buffy the Vampire Slayer
"Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley - episode entitled "Posse Commitatus" on The West Wing

I was the first one to point out the correct answer in the last thread, that being "Where is My Mind?" in Fight Club. Someone has beaten me this time.

I really like Wes Anderson's use of music.

"Hey Jude" in the opening scene of Royal Tenenbaums, as well as the Elliot Smith song during the suicide scene.

"Staralfur" - Sigur Ros near the end of "The Life Aquatic."

Are we talking a previously released/recorded song, or do original soundtracks count? If soundtracks count, some great ones-

Jaws
Superman
Raiders of The Lost Ark
Rocky I

In Terminator II, when he aquires his biker clothing and steps out of the bar. "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood.
