One of the incidental pleasures of watching even a mediocre movie is experiencing the way a specific song is used. As long as they're not the bland sonic equivalent to wallpaper for montages (e.g. the breathy singer-songwriter blandness of Morning Glory, or any peppy pop-punk shopping sequence), most movies make a token stab at rewiring the associations of a given song. Here are 10 of my favorite examples from the past year, with any film-length scoring (like Shutter Island's primer on 20th-century chromatic classical music, or the ever-popular BRAAAAAAAHM of Inception) disqualified:

Forgot about the use of 'Fly Me to the Moon' in DOGTOOTH. That was indeed a disturbing scene.
Another great use of music in a movie last year was SOMEWHERE using Gwen Stefani's 'Cool' during the scene where Elle Fanning is practicing her ice skating, and Stephen Dorff goes from indifference to really appreciating her for maybe the first time. Also unusual in that they let the song play out for the entire time.
