Best example he missed or did not mention on purpose:

The beginning of 'The Shining' has this cool sequence where a helicopter shoots these sweeping views of a tiny Volkswagen Beetle as it slowly climbs the mountainous road leading to The Overlook hotel in Colorado.

In the background is a really distorted, haunting rendition of the Dies Irae or the Symphony Fantastique, both of which have the same musical figure.

Interesting video.

Also one of the coolest movie entrees ever.
