Songs strongly identified with films - 02/19/07 06:02 AM
List a song that in your mind is strongly identified with a film. In other words, a song that when you hear it on the radio (or wherever) you can't help thinking about a related movie.
I'll start things off:'
Song: The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News
Film: Back to the Future

That's funny! This song always reminds of Shrek because of the Dating Game scene.

Re: Songs strongly identified with films - 02/20/07 04:08 PM
When I think of My Best Friend's Wedding, the song that jumps into my head is Dion Warwick's "Say a Little Prayer" - I love that scene!
Remember when songs (not entire soundtracks) were created as a theme for a movie? I loved that. Good example:
"Love lift us up where we belong" from Officer and a Gentleman

This isn't a film, but remember "You just don't love me no more" on the episode of Family Ties when Alex P Keaton and his girlfriend broke up? I think about that episode every time I hear this song.

"At This Moment" by Billy Vera and the Beaters! Oh man, you too? That's all I
can think of whenever I hear that song.
