Favourite use of music in a movie.

I'm making a list of the best uses of music in film, rules being it must be a piece of music previously released so it can't be recorded for that soundtrack specifically. If you can link a video to it as well.

It can't just be a good song used in a film like SOLAT in Singles, but it should've been used in a creative or witty way.

Three I can think of just now being 'Don't Stop Me Now' from Shaun Of The Dead.

'Tiny Dancer' from Almost Famous

And the best is 'Hip To Be Square' from American Psycho.

    Forrest Gump. Great soundtrack. The Vietnam scences specifically. And when Jenny is strung out in heroin, I think freebird is playing. Very good.

    Yeah good one, and I thought YMCA in Wayne's World 2 was great as well.

    Final scene of The Devil's Rejects with Free Bird.
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    The entire Heavy Metal soundtrack and animated movie was pretty damn good too.

    Takin' a Ride (on Heavy metal) and Reach Out (Cheap Trick court scene) were faves.

    I don't like this film, but this use of 'You Make My Dreams' by Hall & Oates is great.
