"Get Thee Behind Me, Satan" at the top of The Master was genius.
"Innocent When You Dream" in Smoke.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating in Space" and "Fourth Time Around" in Vanilla Sky (the entire movie is great for music).
"Both Sides Now" in Love Actually (a really powerful moment in an otherwise lighthearted movie).
"Staralfur" in The Life Aquatic.
"Poison Cup" at the end of Wellness.
"Six Different Ways" in The Rules of Attraction (and, in a sick way, their use of Harry Nilsson's "Without You" too).
I know you specified "modern music", but I really love the use of Bach's Goldberg Variations in that scene in Silence of the Lambs when Lecter savages the prison guards.


And uhhhh "New Town" by Life Without Buildings in the film I'm shooting in December!

God, this whole movie. "Changing Partners" at the end was amazing too.

Looking Out My Backdoor (CCR) in The Big Lebowski
Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime (Beck) in Eternal Sunshine (i know it's over the end credits but it fits perfectly, a nice thoughtful touch that's as important as anything within the actual movie)
...

Moby - god moving over the face of the waters in Heat is pretty much top of the heap.

And also all of The Big Lebowski but especially The Man In Me - Dylan.

I'm a sucker for all those Rolling Stones tracking shots by Scorsese.
