The coke deal in Goodfellas where he's coked up, paranoid and seeing the helicopter. Music Jump into the Fire by Harry Nilsson.
Was just about to mention the scene where the kids find Morry and his wife dead in the pink Cadillac...the camera pans up and the piano coda section from Layla kicks in...magical and nigh on perfect.
Of course the rest of the track plays over Liottas narration, where the varios fates and demise of the mob members is played out.

Sorry to be a pedant, but it's Johnny Roastbeef and his wife, not Morry.
Maury is killed by Tommy with an ice pick to the head.
The last 15mins of E.T. from those first bass notes as Gertie gives her mother the note right through to the crescendo as the ship flies across the sky as close-up of Elliott's face cuts to black. Cinematic perfection.
Misery - 'that' scene, with the slow movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in the background
Seconded.
I watched Killing Them Softly last night and not that it's one of the best or favourite scenes the scene where Jackie does the hit with Love Letters playing in a slow motion scene was pretty good in a not so great movie.

Another of my favourite John Williams moments was the journey to the island in Jurassic Park... really sets you up for the adventure, and it doesn't even use any dinosaurs...or any CGI at all in fact. By using the amazing Hawaiian backdrop completely unedited, and with that inspiring music playing over the top it grounds the adventure that follows very much in reality and pulls me into the story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghKy8FRhs28
And as a fan of Hans Zimmer (and yes, of the following movie in question) I realled liked the music playing over the end of the Endeavour in Pirates 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXcLybhbChQ
A less obvious choice but the main theme to District 9 which plays as we see the massive spacecraft over South Africa lends a haunting beauty to a rather gritty film... it's the sort of vibe big sci-fi films like this rarely get to show off because they're too busy blowing up New York, London and Tokyo all the time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD8LcP3m8fg
And this scene showcases the blend of sheer epicness and touching beauty in the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. All three films, and the Hobbit film have amazing scores - this scene exemplifies how the range of it is massive but consistently strong http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8pWjiFxXkg
Makes me melt. And how I wish I could be Arwen at this point.

Dreams flow, a star shines.
Ah! I Desire Evenstar.
Look! A star rises out of the darkness.
The song of the star enchants my heart.
Ah! I desire...

Second favourite is Luke's final charge at Vader in Return of the Jedi.

Also Song To The Siren by This Mortal Coil in the same film.
Poor film, but some very effective use of music.

The scene you quote is possibly one of best Movie scenes of all time... makes the hair on my neck stand up every time I see it

Also,everything in every david lynch movie especially from Angelo Badalamenti and juilie cruise
Also Tenebre from the movie of the same name....justice later covered sampled this song
I agree with this one....amazing ending.
It's one of my favourite soundtracks...that and Baz Lurhman's Romeo and Juliet.
'Tiny Dancer' by Elton John in Almost Famous
'If You Want to Sing Out' by Cat Stevens in Harold & Maude
I've always loved 'First Cool Hive' by Moby being played at the end of Scream.
I love that song and whenever I hear it I get the image of that beach in my head straight away. Gorgeous and tranquil.
Both of our favourites are a reworking of 'In the House in a Heartbeat' from 28 Days Later.
And 'Don Abandons Alice' from 28 Weeks Later.
