No it is not OK, if you hear a track with movie samples in it please report it so it can be deleted.

Copyright law is very, very simple. You can only use samples of other people's work if you have their written permission.
So unless you actually *have* this signed piece of paper in your hands you can NEVER use anything you have not made yourself.
There are several threads about this topic already:
Can I Use Samples of Historical Speeches?
is it illegal to use PC game sounds ?
does anyone get their stuff copyrighted?
