For songs that are not just instrumentals that you might hear on the radio:

My Heart Will Go On (Titanic)

I feel a little less manly posting this:

Miserlou - Pulp Fiction


In the context of not picking songs written for the movie (which I agree with the other guy is absurd to do otherwise), this might be a winner.

Of course, it does help when you pull from an older song so that the only frame of reference of that song with modern generations IS with the movie.

Blade Runner is up there for a score.

As is Chariots of Fire.

Vangelis is just a scoring machine.
