QotD: Better than the original?
This is almost too obvious of an answer but Gary Jules' cover of Mad World is beautiful and perfectly placed in Donnie Darko. I've even read an interview with someone from Tears for Fears saying how much they love the Jules cover and how they consider that the definitive version of the song.

Jules cover is definately the more well-known version of the song, I think. And I agree with the DD placement. Gah. Cult movies... How can you not love them??
