Yes, I know, it's a tad overused. But what are some of your favorite examples of the typeface's use in places other than body text?
Critique magazine (RIP) used it for display occasionally. It always startled me how good they managed to make it look.
Coudal.com uses the bold weight to good effect for their headlines.

I love the way it's used in the advertisements for "Six Feet Under", which I see from time to time in BART stations and other transit venues. I'm not sure why it comes across so well to me; perhaps it's because the rest of the graphic design is so sophisticated that the choice of Times has to be conscious rather than default.
Wolfgang Weingart uses it as his second typeface, after Akzidenz Grotesk. His book, My Way to Typography has its text set in it.
In Germany, the academically minded publisher Suhrkamp used Times Bold for decades on its paperback covers. Willi Fleckhaus instituted that when he was Art Director there in the early 1960s. Later, the publishers changed his design so that it would be centered, uglifying the books (in my opinion). Just recently, the publisher redesigned their image; book covers are now set in Adobe Garamond, and flush left again. German designers are up in arms about this that way that we were about the UPS logo change.
Maxim, there was a discussion on that subject at Typographica when the redesigned site was unveiled:

The face Fleckhaus used on the �designed� covers was Times Black, one of those weird weights made for photosetting and bearing not much resemblance to Times New Roman. Except in name, and that always seems enough to make designers pick a face. We fall for brands just like everybody else.
Fleckhaus also spec'd Stempel Garamond for one of the other Suhrkamp paperback lines (they have 3 lines, all designed differently), which used to be set in hot metal back in the 60s, when the series were first designed. Once I get my books back out of the boxes, I can post some scans, if anybody is interested.</font>
