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!

"Where you goin', city boy" quote from Deliverance

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"
-
Guns 'N Roses - "Civil War": starts off with a quote from Cool Hand Luke.
-
And while it's not a movie...
Ween - "Powder Blue": After introducing all of the country musicians and giving them their due solos, they introduce Muhammad Ali and play a clip of his post-fight interview after The Rumble in the Jungle fight against Foreman.
-
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.."
-
Kool Keith's Sex Style album starts off with a snippet from Dolemite.
-
"Hello this is gorgeous, anybody out there read me? My handle's gorgeous, pretty vacant, eh?Subvert normality. Punk is not sexual, it's just aggression. 10-4 good buddies. Destroy, kill all hippies."

"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.

Madonna's "What It Feels Like for a Girl" opens with a sample of Charlotte Gainsbourg speaking in the film "The Cement Garden (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106535/)" -- 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?"
