In no particular order, here's a list of my favorite cuts from soundtracks so far this century:
Just Like Honey/Jesus & Mary Chain
Lost in Translation
A beautiful love song for an unrequited love affair.
Let Go/Frou Frou
Garden State
Zach Braff sure knows how to compile a soundtrack (hear also: The Last Kiss)
America (**** Yeah)
Team America: World Police
Oh so bad. Oh so hilarious.
Long Ride Home/Patty Griffin
Elizabethtown
Classic Patty Griffin--pure and haunting.
The Blower's Daughter/Damien Rice
Closer
Stark and poignant and full of longing...just like the film.
A Kiss At the End of the Rainbow/Mitch & Mickey (Eugene Levy & Catherine O'Hara)
A Mighty Wind
A great folk song that's the centerpiece of the film.
Once Soundtrack/Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova
All of the songs were written and performed by the two leads. This is why indie movies rule.
Oompa Loompa Songs/Danny Elfman
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Goofy and the most memorable parts of the film.
And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going/Jennifer Hudson
Dreamgirls
A star-making turn that gave me goose bumps in the movie theater.
Across the Universe/Rufus Wainwright
I Am Sam
I've heard several covers of this song since, but Rufus still rules.

A tough list to compile! Well done.
Great list ... Along with that very funny (and very twisted) Team America song, I'd take "Blame Canada" from the "South Park" flick
