I think the opening scene of the first true Star Wars film that is now titled Ep 4 A New Hope is perfect:

Star Wars Opening Scene

If you had the privilege of seeing this in the theaters in it's first run you were immediately invested. John Williams has a style that is captivating and Star Wars would not have the same impact with a typical musical soundtrack.

I always thought My Hero by Foo Fighters on Varsity Blues during the last game was pretty good.

"Woke Up This Morning" during opening credits of The Sopranos. My bad, that's technically a TV show. Still.

Guardians of the Galaxy, the whole movie.

This scene from Conan the Destroyer always stuck with me, especially the 1:20 mark. LINK

Every song in Boogie Nights feels this way.

The song Natural High by Bloodstone when Max Cherry bonds Jackie Brown out of jail and he sees her for the first time.

I laughed so hard when I saw this the first time. Great use of a song.

I love the score in Arrival when Chastain and Renner are being taken to the spaceship/military outpost in that stunning, foggy mountain valley. Its eerie, scary, and beautiful all at the same time.

I also like the use of Band on the Run in Outside Providence.
