    My possible top ten:

    David Bowie: Modern Love, from Frances Ha (my favourite scene in cinema that year)
    Jackson Browne: Late for the Sky, from Taxi Driver
    Donovan: Hurdy Gurdy Man, from Zodiac
    Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), from Withnail & I ("I'm making time")
    Julio Iglesias: La Mer (Live), from Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
    Billy Joel: Vienna, from 13 Going on 30 (this almost seems like it was written for the sequence it's used in)
    King Crimson: Moonchild, from Buffalo '66 (best fantasy bowling alley tapdancing scene in cinema)
    Led Zeppelin: Immigrant Song, from One Day In September
    Roxy Music: If There Is Something, from Flashbacks of a Fool
    The Who: A Quick One While He's Away, from Rushmore

    Knockin' on Heaven's Door in Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid.
    Slim Pickens, gut shot, mortally wounded, sits down knowing he's dying as the song plays - poignant!

    A subtlety lost on Guns n Roses, Cold Chisel et al who insist on butchering this beautiful song.

    Ones that quickly spring to mind

    The band and its hangers on singing along to Elton John's Tiny Dancer on the tour bus in Almost Famous
    La Mer by Julio Inglesias during the Christmas Party scene in the movie version of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
    The use of Mark Knopfler's title theme during Local Hero

    Al Martino singing live at the wedding scene in the Godfather; main theme too.
    Almost anything in Martin Scorcese's movies - Goodfellas, Departed, Wolf of Wall etc - particularly by the Stones, Van Morrison or Phil Spector's girl groups. Or his use of opera (likewise Francis Ford Coppola)
    Vangelis' main themes in Bladerunner and Chariots of Fire
    Was it Beethoven's 9th in Clockwork Orange during the violent bits ?
    Harrison Ford singing along to Otis Redding in Witness

    The one that immediately comes to mind for me is "Hey Joe" in Forest Gump.

    Forest is at "The Black Panther Party". Hey Joe in the background, something catches his eye. He sees Jenny's new boyfriend growing angry at her and proceeds to hit her. Tunnel vision. At this moment Forest just goes red. He proceeds to march right over to him as the song is reaching it's tipping point.

    The song peaks, solo rips; Forest just beats the crap of the guy.

    Chills all over maaaaaaaan:ed:

    Bob Dylan's "Hurricane" in Dazed And Confused. One of those songs that blows past you the first time you see the film, but registers as a chill moment after.
