Waddle and Silvy were talking about this earlier. What are the most memorable songs from movies?

The first one that comes to mind for me is "Tiny Dancer" in Almost Famous.

Take Five:
Tiny Dancer (Almost Famous)
You've Lost that Loving Feeling (Top Gun)
You're the Best Around (Karate Kid)
Layla (Good Fellas)
Let's Get it On (High Fidelity)

even though it was produced for this movie, the rendition of "Mad World" in "Donnie Darko" was one of the coolest montages I've ever seen.

"Eye of the Tiger" in Rocky IV was also AWESOME.

"I Can't Take My Eyes Off You" scene in "The Deer Hunter"

"The End" in "Apocalypse Now"

"american girl" - silence of the lambs
"stuck in a middle" - resevoir dogs
"layla' - goodfellas
"Auld Lang Syne" - it's a wonderful life

in your eyes - say anything
stuck in the middle - reservoir dogs
gonna fly now - rocky training scenes
nerds rap - revenge of the nerds
would't it be nice - roger and me

Good one right there...that song fits that movie perfectly...

You guys are missing an easy one. May well be the most famous (infamous?) one out there.

"Dueling Banjos" - Deliverance.

Top 5?

Lemme see here...

In no particular order

Themes to Godfather, Star Wars, and the menacing two note music to Jaws.

Then there's the five notes played to the aliens in Close Encounter...and I've no idea which spaghetti western Ennio Morricone wrote it for first, but the Clint Eastwood staring down the badguy dueling music. I admit the description of this last theme is very lame on my part, but I'll be damned if I can remember what the title of the music is.

ah! good call kerchungathunk!

also..."sounds of silence"/"mrs. robinson" - the graduate

"these days" (nico) - the royal tennenbaums, among a few other gems in wes anderson movies

and "canon in d" in ordinary people.

Master of Puppets -- Old School
Man in the Middle -- Big Lebowski

and what is the name of the Blink 182 song they played in the middle of Amercian Pie right before Shannon Elizabeth showed her tits? That is a classic as well.

"Cowabunga? Cowa fucking piece of dog shit! This game is diarrhea coming out of my dick!"

Probably the only song of theirs I actually like.

"Goodbye Horses" by Q Lazzarus, from Silence of the Lambs
"Fragrance" by Holger Czukay from Morvern Callar
Popol Vuh soundtrack to Werner Herzog's Aguirre: The Wrath of God
Prelude to Wagner's "Das Rheingold" from Terrence Malick's The New World
"The Ghost of Love" by David Lynch from Inland Empire
"Still" by the Geto Boys from Office Space

Also, Morricone's soundtrack to John Carpenter's The Thing is pretty much just one note on a bass guitar, sparsely plucked.

That might be the first time in history that the Geto Boys and Wagner shared the same page.

Silvy and Carmen did this bit 2 years ago.

That was more Rocky III. Rocky IV would have been the classic Burning Hearts and Living in America.

I would say the Rocky theme itself would be just above Eye of the Tiger.

Stayin' Alive from Saturday Night Fever.

The Entertainer from The Sting.

Theme song to Patton.

You know me like that.

Diggin' deeper:

Luboš Fišer soundtrack to Jaromil Jires' Valerie and Her Week of Wonders
Magnet soundtrack to the onginal Wicker Man
Alejandro Jodrowsky soundtracks for El Topo and La Montana Sangrada
George Delereu soundtrack to Godard's Le Mepris

Stuck in the Middle With You, Reservoir Dogs.

Mad World, Donnie Darko

So creepy. I watched the movie for the first time in high school, for an English project (we had to write papers on three movies from the AFI Top 100 every month) and it was the first of my teenage years (you know, not counting Jurassic Park when I was still a kid) that truly frightened me. I might be a weak-kneed sissy, though, so who knows.

Last one for now: The Singles soundtrack, especially the Smashing Pumpkins' contribution, "Drown," which remains my favorite SP song to this day.

Flight of the Valkyres was much more memorable in that movie and one of the great moments in the history of movies

The theme song from all of the Friday the 13th movies. The music still scares me.

We belong - telladega nights
footloose - footloose
afternoon delights - anchorman
I need a hero - shrek 2
I love LA - naked gun

Carpenter's little Halloween diddy that follows Michael Myers around will forever be the creepiest piece of music I have ever heard.

Although Colma by Buckethead is a close second, despite not being on a soundtrack.

I liked it better in Short Circuit 2.


"Dust in the Wind" in Old School.

Helter Skelter - Helter Skelter
