Best song in a movie moment...

What is the best song used at a specific point in a movie?

For instance, I'm watching Goodfellas and the Cream song "Sunshine of my Love" (i think thats the title) is really freaking sick. The opening chords start blaring as Deniro stares down the camera as he's deciding to wack all the people from the heist...

I am sure this isn't even close to the best one, but I love when a really good song comes on in a movie giving the goosebump effect.

Elliott Smith - Needle in the Hay during the suicide scene in Royal Tenenbaums is absolutely amazing.

Freebird guitar solo in Forrest Gump when Jenny is going to jump off the building. Serious, the most intense solo at an intense moment.

I've always been a big fan of The Pixies "Where is my Mind" blaring as the buildings collapse at the end of Fight Club.

This sounds corny, but I really liked when Zefram Cochrane blasts Steppenwolf's Magic Carpet Ride in the launch scene of Star Trek: First Contact.

No, I'm not a trekkie. I just thought it was an extremely well placed song.

Heat theme final scene.

Reservoir Dogs Mr. Blonde scene.

Foxy Lady from Wayne's World.

Perfectly understated, yet set such a sumptuous mood.

Where he kills the guy to "Stuck In The Middle With You"?

Good call. I'm changing my vote.

Darryl Hannah's (sp) whistle in Kill Bill I is awesome as well...

There are lots of these, you guys have some good ones...
