Best songs to elevate the films?

Which songs you would choose that would open a film, and in your opinion, be so good that would make the viewer feel like the film is going to be good enough to stick with.

I would personally love to see this song open some film one day while the opening credits are appearing on the screen, it would simply make me feel like I want to watch the film.

I dont know why more popular songs are not used in films, I know it costs the rights to pay for, however any band could be grateful for more exposure.

Paranoid Android by Radiohead

Yes, good one! Have Radiohead ever had a song featured in any film so far?

Yes. "You and Whose Army?" appears right in the beginning of "Incendies".

I always thought the last 8 minutes of "Tubular Bells Part 1" would be great for opening a film on a montage of a man walking through the desert alone during sunset.
