This scene from Layer Cake is perhaps the greatest use of a piece of music coupled with strong editing that has ever existed.
Argue with me all you want that Scorsese using "Gimmie Shelter" 73 different ways, or Pee Wee Herman dancing to "Tequila" was better, but you also like "Get Fuzzy", so maybe you should re-assess things.
Enjoy, and then tell me that you'll ever hear "Ordinary World" the same way again.

Though it doesn't top this, I also love Lou Reed's Lovely Day in Trainspotting.
That's another great example.
I love when directors are able to incorporate a song into a scene. It's doesn't always work, but when it does, it leaves an indelible visual that's immediately conjured up when you hear that song again.
