Songs you associate with films

Stig

I jus heard All Star by Smash Mouth on the radio and it got me thinking whether anyone could hear it without thinking of Shrek. What are the songs that you always associate with particular films? NB I'm not talking about stuff from musicals or specially commissioned songs like you might get in a James Bond or the like, but existing songs that have been used. Mine are:
- Smash Mouth - All Star - Shrek
- Lavern Baker - Soul On Fire - Angel Heart
- Silicon Teens - Red River Rock - Planes, Trains...
- Iggy Pop - Lust For Life - Trainspotting
- Underworld- Born Slippy - Trainspotting

Not a film ,  but Oasis's Don't Look Back In Anger always reminds me of the epic TV Series Our Friends In The North which has just been repeated on BBC 4 and it's ending with future James Bond Daniel Craig striding across the Tyne Bridge.

I was going to say that!

So I’ll go for a more modern film. Jojo Rabbit ends with the German version of David Bowie’s Heroes (Helden). Quite moving.

Over-the-top song meets 'meh' film, the result is cinema gold.
