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.

    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?

    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)

    Thanks guys great keep em coming.

    For some reason "Now we are free" from gladiator shot straight into my head. Probably because it is great. Loved the little miss sunshine soundtrack
