    3. Gardel - Tango (Por Una Cabeza)

    This tango is used in a variety of films, from Schindler's List (clearly a favourite of Benedetti's) to the Arnold Schwarzenegger stunt-fest True Lies. It seems almost too perfect a piece for Benedetti - it's fun, but there's a remarkable hidden depth and lyricism to it too.
