What is your favorite song from a movie?

This is probably my favorite.
I like this alot too.:)

@lucillelucillelucille the first link is, and always has been, one of those songs that gets stuck in my head the second I hear it.. every time. Thanks! ;)

Blue Danube This soundtrack was the first album I ever bought…I loved it.

Oh this suits me right down to the ground! The wife go’s apeshit when I perform it in public though…..spoilsport :¬(

Hard to pick just one but Streets of Philadehphia by the Boss has to be up near the top. The Weary Kind from Crazy Heart is also up there.

Man of Constant Sorrow from Oh Brother Where Art Thou?

I don’t know that it’s my favourite song from a movie, but “The Times They are A’Changin’” playing over the intro montage in Watchmen really hit me.

@filmfann – That is one of my favourites!

Mad World by Gary Jule from Donnie Darko.

If I Only Had a Brain is surely a favorite, as is I Want it Now.

How come no one has said The Sacrifice by Michael Nyman from The Piano?

It’s so beautiful!

My favourite is the instrumental music in the intermission in Kingdom of Heaven. The _Pirates of the Caribbean song “Hoist the Colours” is brilliant too.

@marinelife Beat me to it!

Also, Lux Aeterna from Requiem for a Dream.

Not a song, but “Fearless” introduced me to this amazing music: “Lento Sostenuto TranqiIlio ma Cantabile” from Symphony No. 3 (“Symphony of Sorrowful Songs”) written by Henryk Mikolaj Górecki.

The Sigur Ross song at the end of Vanilla Sky

There is not enough room in here to list all mine or pick a favorite.
There are great movie songs.
But the ones that fit into the movie greatest ones for me are ones that instantly when heard brings images and feelings out:
Dr Zhivago Lara’s Theme Maurice Jarre
Romeo & Juliet A Time for us Nino Rota
Robin Hood I do it for you Bryan Adams
Wizard of Oz Somewhere over the Rainbow Judy Garland
The Spy who shagged me American Woman Burton Cummings – Loved this song as a kid from Guess Who

So so many more….... Great Question @JmacOroni I will be listening to more of these all day now!!!!

The organ cover of Mendelssohn’s “March of the War Priests” played in the beginning of “The Abominable Dr Phibes”.

Theme From A Summer Place by Percy Faith.

Have you really listened to this song???

Born Slippy from Trainspotting.

@john65pennington I heard that in the elevator on the way into work :D
@mrmijunte I watched that movie last night! Great Song!

@mrmijunte I was just listening to that song, yesterday.

@marinelife My son plays that on the piano. I got to hear it incessantly for four months.

I love Damien Rice’s, The Blower’s Daughter from Closer

“Mad World” Donni Darko

Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters!

Band of brothers: blood on the rise

Cheesy, I know, but love lifts us up where we belong Officer and a gentleman. 1992

There’s also:
– I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston in The Bodyguard,
– Kiss from a Rose by Seal in Batman Forever,
– Men in Black by Will Smith in Men in Black
– I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmtih in Armageddon

All great classics!

Breakfast at Tiffany’s Moon River

@blueiiznh “Moon River” was forever repurposed in my mind by Chevy Chase in Fletch.

@6rant6 almost forgot about that reference. lol

I love this song

I’m surprised no one has said “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls. From a musician’s standpoint, that song is very well written.

The Impossible Dream-Man of La Mancha although I prefer this version

the Oompa -Loompa song from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory :D

I absoluteley tootly love these two tracks from Over The Hedge,both by Ben Folds — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8slKU-bs_4U Family of me and
Still http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-39eLRMqYg

Now We Are Free by Enya from Gladiator
