- 'Where Is My Mind?' in 'Fight Club' The crunching guitars, sharp drums, and Kim Deal's warbling gives the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?" a psychedelic sound that compliments David Fincher's mind-bending satire of commercialism and masculinity.
- 'My Way' in 'Goodfellas' Martin Scorsese is a master of using music in his movies, but perhaps one of his most memorable needle drops is Sid Vicious' snarling cover of Frank Sinatra's "My Way" in the final scene and end credits of "Goodfellas."
- 'Baby You're a Rich Man' in 'The Social Network' Trent Reznor's mechanical score is a striking component of David Fincher's "The Social Network," a chilling study of the internet phenomenon that completely transformed the world as we knew it.

- Simple Minds – “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” in The Breakfast Club (1985) Scottish rockers Simple Minds only had one hit in the U.S., “Don’t You (Forget About Me).”
- Underworld – “Born Slippy (Nuxx)” in Trainspotting (1996) The first line in the 1996 film adaptation of the Irvine Welsh novel Trainspotting is “Choose life,” which initially seems ironic, considering the story centers around a cast of characters that struggle with heroin addiction.
- Elliott Smith – “Miss Misery” in Good Will Hunting (1997) Gus Van Sant’s 1997 film Good Will Hunting blended heartwarming and soul-crushing elements to tell the story of tormented delinquent/genius prodigy Will Hunting, so it’s no surprise that the filmmakers chose to use five Elliott Smith songs, the bulk of them from either/or, as part of its dramatic score.
