    Ignoring songs that are just plonked into movies - there's loads of good ones, many already offered up - there are two outstanding ones no-one has mentioned, both from the same film.

    "I wanna be like you" and "Bear Necessities."

    Pixies – Where is My Mind? (Fight Club)
    Kenny Loggins – Danger Zone (Top Gun)
    Beethoven – 9th Symphony (A Clockwork Orange)

    The Conversation also includes a lot of ‘Red Red Robin’ which both surprised and amused me. Great film if you haven’t seen it (Coppola & Hackman).
