This thread has been done so many times.

I've always gone with "Where is My Mind" at the end of Fight Club.

I think the cover version of Hey Jude at the beginning of The Royal Tenenbaums where the characters are being introduced is amazing and perfect for the movie.

I always liked that one as well.

Layla would be my first choice but a close second would be "Under Pressure" in Grosse Pointe Blanke (and the use of 99 Luftballoons in that movie was spot on as well).

Either Tiny Dancer in Almost Famous or In Your Eyes in Say Anything...Cameron Crowe rules.

IMO - the use of Tiny Dancer in Almost Famous was one the most cliched & hackneyed use of song in film. You've got a bunch of 'rockers' about to face certain death and they break into a tune by Elton John?

here are some songs integral to plots:

In The Hall of the Mountain King in M
and
Que Sera, Sera in The Man Who Knew Too Much
