My wife would most definitely go with I will always love you, from The Bodyguard.
As for me, I would say Paint it Black, from Full Metal Jacket.

Top Gun shit, yo. Several from that movie. Kenny Loggins and Take my Breath Away.

Oh shit!
For the 80s you can't forget about Vision Quest. That movie's soundtrack was PERFECTO !
RE: Best use of a song in a film - SHRacerX - 04-27-2017
Sheepishly offering "YOUR EYES" by Peter Gabriel from the movie "Say Anything". When John Cusack is holding the boombox in her yard, playing that song....that got just about everyone.
Someone used Vision Quest, which I loved, so I will add "Center field" from Bull Durham, "She sells sanctuary" by the Cult in "With Honors", and just about every song used in "Remember the Titans"

Was that song in FMJ? I remember it being on a TV show about the Nam called "Tour of Duty" in the late 80's.
EDIT: Yep, was in the closing credits.

There's a thread in JN talking about how there is only one woman on these forums now. I think they miscounted.

Stuck In The Middle With You by Stealers Wheel in Reservoir Dogs. Michael Madsen doing a shuffle step while advancing toward a cop tied up and taped mouthed sitting in a chair. Madsen just so happened to be holding a straight razor and you knew thangz was going to get bad for the officer in short fashion. Tarentino has been pretty masterful at having classic rock and Motown as such an integral part of his movies.
RE: Best use of a song in a film - Nebuchadnezzar - 04-29-2017
The Wanderers
Platoon
The Big Chill
There are a bunch
The first Batman movie with the Prince Soundtrack. Prince just had those songs laying around the house, asked what kind of scenes and put the soundtrack together in little time. Prince was a genius!
Good Morning Vietnam
A good soundtrack that I heard was on a Call of Duty video game, I don't remember which but it had "Sympothy For The Devil" on it.
One song that should have been on a soundtrack and it may have been written for a movie but never used is "I Write A Song" by Earth, Wind and Fire.
Saturday Night Fever
There are a bunch and these are just off the top of my head.

How about The End by The Doors in Apocalypse Now?

Boogie Nights had a pretty good sound track as did Forrest Gump, with both making liberal use of existing music as I recall.

Mostly Ludwig Van!
As far as soundtracks go, Forrest Gump nailed it start to finish.
As did Pink Floyd's The Wall

We have a winner. That scene was shot to go with the song. S it looked like the song was written for the scene.
Can't believe I did not think of that one. Apacolypse Now is one of my all-time favorte movies.
