The first one that occurs to me, when I see that question, is "Layla" in Goodfellas. I can't listen to the outro without thinking of guys hanging in meat trucks.

 

But since it was already mentioned...the entire soundtrack in Kill Bill Vol. 1. It's the only movie I've ever seen that had me saying "Wow, this soundtrack makes the movie. It fits it perfectly."

  • Layla in Goodfellas.
  • Forrest Gump had a few good ones. When Jenny walks out the door listening to "Love Her Madly" from the doors "...love her as she's walking out the door." Always thought that was cheesy, but I liked it. Also, Free Bird when she attempts suicide. People don't always realize that was due to her praying as a child for God to make her "Free as a Bird, so she can fly. Far far away from here."

  • Dazed and Confused was perfect through the whole movie

  • Ferris Bueller. "Oh, yeah." And obviously Twist and Shout.

  • Wild Thing in Major Leauge

  • Bohemian Rhapsody in Wayne's World

Granted some of these, the song was actually part of the movie.

 

My favorite from Dazed and Confused:

 

 

 

I loved the use of Bob Dylan in that one. It symbolized that he was hanging out with the older, more mature kids, who listened to more mature music.
