Only stipulation is no scores. Music has to be listened by, played over the scene or sung by the characters

My Top Ten:

  1. Watchmen (opening montage) - Times They Are a Changin' - Bob Dylan
  2. Hellboy II (Red & Abe Singing) - Can't Smile Without You - Ron Perlman, Doug Jones & Barry Manilow
  3. X-Men Days of Future Past (Prison Break) - Time in a Bottle - Jim Croce
  4. X2 (White House Siege) - Die Irae - Mozart
  5. Guardians of the Galaxy (Baby Groot Dancing) - Want You Back - Jackson 5
  6. Spider-Man 2 (Peter goes to MJs performance) - Hold On - Jet
  7. The Punisher (Frank vs The Russian) - La Donna é Mobile - Giuseppe Verdi
  8. Guardians of The Galaxy (Kyln Impound) - Hooked on a Feeling - Blue Swede
  9. The Mask (Coco Bongo Dance) - Hey Pachuco - Cuban Pete
  10. Blade (Blood Rave) - Confusion (Pump Panel Reconstruction Remix) - New Order
Honourable Mention:
Batman Returns (Masquerade Ball) - Face To Face - Siouxsie & The Banshees. Batman (Joker takes over the Museum) - Party Man - Prince. Sin City (Nancy's Dance) - Absurd - Fluke. Daredevil (Bar Fight) - Learn The Hard Way - Nickelback
 
Blade's blood rave scene with New Order's music is easily my fav. Still one of the coolest scenes ever.

My other favs in no order:

The Crow-The gang shoot out (My life with the thrill kill kult)
Batman Returns-Selina Bruce Dance (Siouxsie and the Banshees)
GOTG- Intro (Redone)
KickAss-Hitgirl's first appearance (Dickies)
X2-Nightcrawler (Mozart)
Days Of Future Past-Quicksilver (Jim Croce)

... Heavy Metal and Scott Pilgrim if those count. They are basically musicals though.

Spider-man 2- The lady singing the 60s TV theme

Blade- Club scene

Batman & Robin- Mr. Freeze singing Snow Miser's theme.

Batman '89- The party man scene at the museum.

I don't have a 5th because I didn't particularly like the GotG music and I can't think of anything else. I liked the music that accompanied Electro in TASM2, but I'm guessing that falls under the "score" heading.

Peters reaction was funny, he was trying to avoid Spider-man and it was like he was following him
 
1. Spider-Man 2 - "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head"
2. Guardians of the Galaxy - "Come Get Your Love"
3. Captain America: The First Avenger - "Star Spangled Man"
4. Hellboy 2 - "Can't Smile Without You"
5. X2 - "Dies Irae"

Great list, all of those are absolutely awesome. Got to add another from the Crow, "Burn" by the Cure, during his resurrection scenes.

Kick-Ass is full of them. The Elvis track over the jet-pack scene was pretty cool too - Bad reputation, also awesome.

Iron Man goes great with ACDC. The opening scene of Iron Man, Back in Black, and of course Iron Man's entrance in Avengers with Shoot to thrill.

Personally, I thought Chris Cornell's Seasons was well used in Man of Steel.

Watchmen of course chock full of great music. I've never heard anyone complain about the opening credits, but I also thought that the Sound of Silence and Boogie Man were nicely used in their respective scenes.
 
Guardians is loaded with some of my favs. Come get your love with Starlord is great. I love Cap's star spengled man bit in First Avenger.
