What songs make you think of a movie when you hear them?

“Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head”

Colonel Bogey March (“Bridge on the River Kwai”), Best That You Can Do (“Arthur,” the original) are two that come to mind immediately.

Theme from Jaws.

I Put a Spell on You by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins in the movie Stranger Than Paradise by Jim Jarmusch. Do you know he tracked down Screamin’ Jay to be in his movie Mystery Train? Gotta love that guy. But anyways, this is a great scene. I love it. I also love the opening credits where Eva is walking down the street with a boombox playing the same song. She’s about 13 years old but she thinks she’s so damn cool.

Mad World and The Killing Moon – Donnie Darko

One Toke Over the Line – Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Born Slippy – Trainspotting

Great question, @uberbatman. Combines two of my favorite topics of discussion :D

The Monks, I Hate You – Big Lebowski

Tom Waits, Jockey Full of Bourbon – Down By Law

Elliot Smith, Needle in the Hay – Royal Tenenbaums

@Earthgirl – I love Jarmusch! How about the commercial on the radio by Tom Waits (for “Jiffy Squid”) in Mystery Train? Great stuff.

Eye of the Tiger – Rocky III

@uberbatman Your list made me laugh a few times. Some good memories there. David Bowie’s “Changes” always makes me think of The Breakfast Club as well because of the opening credits.

I came to post Moon River, but @blueiiznh beat me to it. So I’ll leave “Isn’t it Romantic?”. No video, sadly, but luckily Sabrina also features La Vie en Rose and the classic Yes we Have No Bananas! Does anyone remember the perfectly awful remake with Harrison Ford? They replaced the references to “Isn’t it Romantic?” with some new contemporary song which I think was written for the soundtrack. It was perfectly ridiculous.

Same as @KNOWITALL and also Grease.

The theme from Friends by Elton John. Every time I hear that song it makes me want to cry and be twelve all over again!

Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight” will always and forever remind me of The Hangover, despite the fact that I knew the song long before the movie came out.

@jordym84 OOHHH GOOD ONE! I always think of that scene whenever I hear the song as well now.

None.

All I Need by Country Joe and the Fish, from Zachariah.

Let The River Run – Working Girl
Bolero – 10

Eye of the tiger will always make me think of any Rocky movie.

@uberbatman haha yes!! That scene always comes to mind when I hear the song.

As Time Goes By – Casablanca

Beethoven’s Ode To Joy – Die Hard

Superfreak -Little Miss Sunshine.

Don’t Want to Close My Eyes – Armageddon
My Heart Will Go On – Titantic
She Blinded Me With Science – Weird Science
Take On Me -Basketball
Man on the Moon – Man on the Moon
Cuban Pete -The Mask
Send Me On My Way – Matilda
And I really cant believe I didnt think of this one before
Dude Looks Like A Lady -Mrs Doubtfire

Anyone say I’m a Believer – Shrek?

If You Were Here – Sixteen Candles

For Whom The Bell Tolls – Zombieland

Oh man, Riders on the Storm- The Basketball Diaries!
