Droppin' References: Movies in Popular Music

Driving home the other day, I was scanning through the pop music channels on XM and listening to whatever happened to catch my ear. During the process, I noticed not one, but two references to one of 2010's Oscar-nominated films, Inception. The first was from the Black Eyed Peas, in their new song "Just Can't Get Enough":

Honey got a sexy all steamin

She give hotness a new meanin

Perfection mama you gleamin

Inception you got a brother dreamin dreamin

The second is Jennifer Lopez' newest, "On the Floor", featuring Pitbull (the lyrics here are done by the latter):

I'm loose

And everybody knows I get off the train

Baby it's the truth

I'm like Inception I play with your brain

This got me to thinking – what other references to movies are out there in the music world, either currently, or in the past? They could be titles, characters, plots; the possibilities are endless. Let's hear it in the comments – share some of your favorites. If I happen to catch any more, I'll post them in the comments as well.
