The "Sanctus" from Gabriel Fauré's Requiem in Hans Zimmer's score for Paperhouse. It's a popular classical piece but I had never heard it and liked it much better than the rest of the electronic score.
The score by Mike Vickers is excellent, esp the chase music that open the pic,
But the very cool resurrection music was a needledrop from another composer, and the groovy songs are by a group named Stoneground (who appear in the movie playing their songs).
In Chocolat the best cue was an orchestrated version of Satie's Trois Gnossiennes arranged by Ronald Corp and performed by the New London Orchestra. The original piano version is one of my very favorite pieces of music, so I was surprised by how much I liked the orchestral version.

Ravel ( or was it Debussy) did a.contemporary arrangement that has become a repertory standard
Years ago, I was surprised the cue "Memories of Green" was not written for BLADE RUNNER, but from a previously released Vangelis album. Fit the movie perfectly, and indeed, even Vangelis incorporated it in his BLADE RUNNER releases from then on. So it "belongs" to BLADE RUNNER ever since.
There was a "Bugsy" trailer or commercial with music that wasn't from the score but definitely sounded like Morricone.
It remains a mystery to me.

Oh yeah, I liked that, too! I can still remember it.
It’s on vol 1 or 2 of EM Film Music compilations from the 80s. I’m guessing it was used as a temp track and EM was asked to more or less clone it for the movie’s main title music, as its almost the same piece with some orchestral variations.

Damn, really? I'll have to check to see if I have that one (I must not!).
There's a lovely piano rendition of the Pixies "Where is My Mind" in one of the final episodes in a pivotal scene of MR. ROBOT. - It's performed by Maxence Cyrin, and I loved it so much I tracked down the CD album NOVO PIANO for it.
