This one's always stuck with me, maybe for that "ah-HAH!" moment when I realized it was 12 Monkeys being sampled (a movie that was still firmly lost in Cult Classic territory):

Another Matrix reference. Airwave also uses Allan Watts a lot as well in his tracks.

Must be dozens, if not hundreds of examples.
Tilt - I Know You're Afraid also samples The Matrix
Odessi - Moments Of Space = Sphere
Space Manoeuvres - Stage One = Event Horizon
Punk Kidz - Chocolate Room = Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. These are great. I totally forgot about Moments Of Space.
Keep them coming.

Solarstone - Green Light. I think the sample is from a documentary

^ If you're going to mention that one you'd be better going for the A-side Solarcoaster which samples True Romance.

No doubt. Solarcoaster is the bigger, more popular tune.

The tune was a minor hit for Hard Trance heads, but I wager not many knew the dialog came from the original English dub of the anime Akira:

And in case the previous one's too cheesy, here's some proper Dark Prog sampling Dr. Loomis from Halloween:
