The Fifth Element - Eric Serra - Little Light of Love

Little off topic but in the movie the opera scene singers was made electronically but this little girl pulls if off live.

The Pixies - "Where is my Mind?" plays at the end of Fight Club, but it's omitted from the soundtrack.

The ending montage in Napoleon Dynamite (Patrick Street - Music for a Found Harmonium) is omitted from the soundtrack -- but the soundtrack includes an "Alternate ending montage" that is completely different. The music when the credits start (When In Rome - The Promise) is on the soundtrack and it's very fitting. The soundtrack also has a different version/performer for "Time after Time" versus the one in the film. Another omission on that soundtrack: The White Stripes - We are Going to be Friends (used in the film opening).

More:
The Devil's Advocate: The Rolling Stones - Paint it Black
Fallen: The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil

Gladiator has excellent ending music (Hans Zimmer - Now We are Free), but it's not really a "song."

I vaguely remember that a cool/fitting song played at the end of Spy Game.

Against All Odds

I'm still angry this lost the Oscar to Stevie Wonder's I Just Want To Say I Love You.

I can't not listen to Phil Collins when provided with the opportunity.

Welsh song "Sense of Touch" from Crash. This song moves me.

Just watched it again for the first time in 5-6 years.

Elliott Smith - Because, from American Beauty. Amazing almost entirely a capella cover of the Beatles song.

If you haven't heard it - give it a listen. It's amazing.

Also, it doesn't count, but Annie Lennox's cover of Neil Young's Don't Let It Bring You Down, which is just before the final scene, is also amazing.

Forgot, because I am a Harry Nilsson fan: You've got mail

 

[GTaudiophile]

Moby's "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters" at the end of Heat. Shit is epic yo.

Unfortunately this is another example where the actual film music doesn't make it onto the soundtrack and where the former is better.

Film version.
