That's the one I was gonna pick. Good choice! I'll go with "As Time Goes By" from Casablanca.

The "Sull'aria" (from Le Nozze di Figaro) that Tim Robbins plays over the prison yard loudspeakers in "Shawshank Redemtion".
"The Ride of the Valkyries" from "Die Walkure" in any movie...or Bugs Bunny cartoon.
"A Mamma Morta" in "Philadelphia".
"Werewolves of London," by Warren Zevon, greatly hammed up to by Tom Cruise, in The Color of Money. I love the part where Cruise is cleaning up the pool table and flicks his pompadour when Zevon sings the line, "...And his hair was perfect."

"Every Sperm is Sacred" from The Meaning of Life.

"But right now mostly what I'm thinking of is a particularly good use of a song, like "Court of the Crimson King" in Children of Men. That's a killer. Somebody mentioned Garden State, which makes excellent use of Simon and Garfunkel's "Only Living Boy in New York." Speaking of Simon and Garfunkel, another of my favorites is the beginning of Girl, Interrupted which uses "Bookends" so well. And speaking of THAT, it was directed by James Mangold, with whom I went to high school. "
I thought it would make a good separate thread.
