Having read the book "Where the Wild Things Are" as a child, I am very excited for the movie to come out. As for the song...I am not typically a big Arcade Fire fan, but it seems to mirror the moods of the trailer. I have a big pet peave when it comes to movie music...the music should always complement the movie and never draw the watchers attention away from the scene as it unfolds. Music has the uncanny ability to add to scenes (see Reservoir Dogs/ ear slashing) but isn't a necessity (No Country For Old Men). Spike Jonze is a great director and seems to be in a positive position to direct the movie.
My favorite car chase scene music would be Pretty Handsome Awkward (By the Used) in Transformers. The intensity of the song builds well with the gritty action of the chase. Besides that the movie sucked.
James Bond: Quantum of Solace had my favorite opening scene music. The Jack White / Beyonce callaboration was outstanding. Jack White has been one of my favorite artists for some time (especially the White Stripes) and I could not pick a more random pairing than Beyonce (who is a very talented singer in spite of her choices to make questionable song choices).
Juno's ending credits features the Moldy Peaches. They are a great band who put a fitting end to the movie. The song itself is perfect, the lyrics aren't sung as much as they are spoken. The movie's script isn't recited as much as it is performed. It just works well.
Clubbed to Death in the Matrix is my favorite fight song. It's techno sound fits in well with the futuristic vibe that the Matrix exemplifies.
My favorite Making love song... Phil Collins sets the tone for the famed love scene in Risky Business. Perfect.
