After reading Hoya's most excellent Explosions in the Sky poast I got to thinking of songs that have snippets from movies in them.
Poast the song, and the movie. One per poast please. And NO WAGERING!

i take it you want to limit yourself to rock/indie/pop music? because if you include electronica, i can name you thousands of tracks with movie samples - a lot of psychedelic trance and chill-out/downtempo don't have any lyrics at all except for one or two quotes from a movie.
something you might actually recognize:
video for metallica's "one" - "johhny got his gun"

Every song by punk band from my high school in 1996 featured a kung fu or blaxploitation movie quote.
I guess a lot of Wu Tang would have kung fu quotes too. "Tiger Style.."

"She was living in a single room with three other individuals . . .
One of them was a male and the other two, well, the other two were females.
God only know what they were up to in there.
And furthermore, Susan, I wouldnt be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them habitually smoke marijuana cigarettes . . . REEFERS . . ."

Madonna's "What It Feels Like for a Girl" opens with a sample of Charlotte Gainsbourg speaking in the film "
The Cement Garden" – something like:
"Girls can wear jeans, and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, because it's OK to be a boy. But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, because you think that
being a girl is degrading. But secretly, you'd love to know what it's like – wouldn't you? What it feels like for a girl?"
