I will always think of "Matilda" whenever I hear Rusted Root's "Send Me On My Way":

That song reminds me of Matilda and Ice Age (the first one). Its a great song! I always think of Billy Elliot when I hear Town Called Malice by The Jam because it's Billy's angry dance!

(I wont post the video of Billy Elliot doing the dance because it has loads of swearing)

I think about Mr. Bean when I hear 'Yesterday' by The Beatles.

It's a TV show, so I guess it doesn't count, but "Teardrop" by Massive Attack - in House MD

From "Father of the Bride"- "the Way You Look Tonight"- forget the artists name- a current crooner putting his own unique twist on the old pop evergreen associated with ole blue eyes.

Benny Goodman's "Sing Sing SIng with a Swing" - used in "Swing Kids" and in more than one Woody Allen movie. Greatest drumming ever!

"Dark End of the Street"- and every other soul classic sung by the Commitments in the movie of the same name..

The aforemention "Deliverence" song "Dueling Banjos".

From Bob and Ted's Excellent adventure "Do You Want to Play?" by Extreme.

Dick Dale's "Miserlou" from 'Pulp Fiction".

Ray Charles "Doing the Mess-around" - the song that got John Candy to spin off the road into a crash in "Trains, Buses, and Planes".

Baltimora's "Tarzan Boy" from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3" (and that song was only thing I liked about the movie):
