They are. My faves were the old school disney stuff....Abu saying shit in aladdin. The penises on the cover of little mermaid and the priest with a boner when they get married. All of that stuff. Love it.

Also good
Also the Kenny Rogers song in same.
I really like this one, if, perhaps, too far afield.

Breaking Bad used music superbly. El Paso, Negro Y Azul, the Buddy Stuart tracks, Badfinger, Gale singing Major Tom, and my favorite. RIP RV:

I so enjoy good use of music in video art.

Ferris Bueller's use of Twist and Shout is great, but I think the way the end credits uses "Oh Yeah" to last the entire length of the credits is fantastic.
Wes Anderson is also killer at picking songs for his movies. There are too many to mention. For example The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou has the following scene as well as several covers of David Bowie songs in Portuguese.

@abe -- I haven't seen The Life Aquatic but now I am super super intrigued. Bill Murray is among my favorite cerebral actors (Razor's Edge), and Sigur Ros is amazing. Makes me think of the obvious Sigur Ros entree into film which hit me particularly squarely:
