ahhh   wow i didn't realize this soundtrack was by daft punk.  i thought it was just certain tracks that were more obviously by them..

Oh, and that 2001 clip is definitely a good one.

Movie scene: Independence Day - Let's Plow the Road
Tracks: Ace Combat 2 OST: Fire Youngman, followed by Ace Combat Assault Horizon OST: Horizon for the big ship blowing up. It has the nearly cheesy but at the same time fitting tune.
 

 
 
Also, I'm pretty sure that wasn't an air-to-air missile they fired at the last second...Looked more like anti-ship. Ah well, that was a case of the more explosives packed the better.

Also a cracking track......To be honest that was the link I was going to post but I didn't want to spoil the ending incase someone had not seen the film. The whole film has great music all the way through.
