It's just so stirring and wonderful when the perfectly-appointed song swells at the perfectly-appointed moment onscreen: "Just Like Honey" at the end of Lost in Translation; "Be My Baby" in Mean Streets.
One fan's shortlist of killer soundtrack songs waiting to happen:
"I'd Love to Change the World," Ten Years After (Outside Providence shouldn't count)
"Velvet Waltz," Built to Spill
"Line in the Sand," Motorhead
Have at it.

fairytale of new york by the pogues and pony (or about 50 other songs) by tom waits could work real good in the right context.
god yea on the pogues' one, snide.
mississippi queen. it would pretty much have to coincide with someone doing something incredibly awesome.
worth mentioning on the flip side of the coin: the triumphant music that accompanies buford pusser barrelling right into the bar in walking tall.
man, any time you guys start talking about bands or music i have no idea what or who you're talking about. what's buford pusser?
another good one by the pogues would be misty morning, albert bridge.
James Blood Ulmer's incredible rendition of "Trouble In Mind" deserves to play across some opening credits after a fade up to a gray sky in a misty city.
"I'm going to lay my head on some lonesome railroad iron. And I may let one of those big 1800s pacify this mind of mine."
Hell, that whole album is a bunch of cinematic moments. That incredible gravelly whisper "I'm the cause of it all" on Who's Been Talkin deserves it's own film.
Roland Kirk's instrumental "Ain't No Sunshine" needs to accompany some slow-motion violence.
charl or anyone, is that "aint no sunshine" related to the bill withers track?
Yeah, it's the Bill Withers tune, with a dark-sounding orchestra and Rahsaan Roland Kirk singing through his growly flute. It's awesome.
