This question sorely tests the sort of thing I once thought I was good at, SS.
The first thing I can think of outside the very good answers above is the one glissando Mancini did in his popular vocal arrangement of "The Days of Wine and Roses". Not much of an answer, huh?
Tonight I'll go home and look over my holdings list to see if I can remember any more, since I do like the instrument myself (after hearing it used prominently in TO BE PERFECTLY FRANK, a disc-jockey radio show that Sinatra did when his career was floundering. It twinkled in the background as he talked and he would sometimes address it as "Miss Celesta" or some-such.)

Jerry did use a celesta or celeste as I have seen it spelt also. It was in the rejected first score he composed for Escape From The Planet Of The Apes that Varese could have included on their new CD!!!! 
Seriously, wasn't it a celesta for the source music in the Nursery scene in Logan's Run?

Bingo. SaxPlayer gets a Princess Point.

The most prominent, non-tonal use of celesta that comes to my mind is in at least 1 cut of THE NIGHTCOMERS. I might be remembering a xylophone doubled with something else, though....

Didn't Goldsmith use this in his TWILIGHT ZONE work - specifically, for BACK THERE?
As if tailor made for SillyString's original question: I just remembered last night that he did use it prominently in "The Invaders" episode of TWILIGHT ZONE. (I don't remember "Back There" well enough)
And regards Herrmann, he used it very prominently in his "Outer Space Suite" for the CBS music library.
And I was way-wrong about THE NIGHTCOMERS. In "The Big Swim" he used a glockenspiel doubling a piano line, which sounds an awful lot like a celeste. Ditto for the end of Goldsmith's main title of THE SECRET OF NIMH.

What I heard was an electronic keyboard version of a celesta.
And "Back There" featured plenty of harpsichord and piano, but no celesta.
