Favourite songs from movies

Other half is doing a movie themed radio show I thought it would be easy to give him a list of good songs but I'm struggling.

What are your favourite songs from movies?

I can't get past Patrick Swayze and she's like the wind.

    The Yardbirds - Train kept a rolling (with Jeff Beck smashing his guitar) from Blow Up.

    Carly Simon - Nobody does it better from the spy who loved me

    Edit - it's Stroll on that the yardbirds played.
  • Tiny Dancer from Almost Famous
  • Swayze was all heart. I loved that man. Dalton was Swayze if he was a bouncer. Bodhi was Swayze if he'd turned to a life of crime.

    What's the criteria here? Songs used in movies or songs written for movies?
  • Always look on the bright side of life - MP

    Once upon a dream- Lana del Rey (Malificent)
  • Hans Zimmer - Time....from Inception

    Songs featured in movies is fine, it's his show and his criteria so flexible obviously the more well known the better for the listeners (if there is any lol)
