Mine is "whatever will be will be" as sung by Doris Day in the alfred hitchcock movie 'The Man Who Knew Too Much".

I think the title is Que Sera Sera (spelling?)

The opening theme song of "The Killer" (I forget the name).

The main theme from "Gettysburg"

"Flower of Carnage" from Kill Bill I and "Malaguena Salerosa" from Kill Bill II.

A few I could think of right now. :D

Two have always struck me.

Sinnerman - in the Thomas Crown Affair

Stuck in the middle with you - in Reservoir Dogs

Oh! The Deadwood Stage is a-rollin' on over the plains,

With the curtains flappin' and the driver slappin' the reins.

Beautiful sky! A wonderful day!

Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!, Whip crack-away!

Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride) by don felder from the 1981 movie " heavy metal "......

Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride)

(Don W. Felder)

© 1981 Fingers Music (ASCAP)

Fire it on up and let's cruise a while,

Leave your troubles far behind.

You can hedge your bet on a clean Corvette,

To get you there right on time.

Now if you're ready to dive into overdrive,

Baby the green lights are on.

It's like you're running your brain on some high octane,

Every time she reaches fully blown.

Won't you take that ride ride ride ride, on Heavy Metal?

It's the only way that you can travel down that road.

Satisfied fied fied fied, on heavy metal,

Baby won't you ride, ride it until it explodes.

Heavy Metal!

My oh my, how this lady can fly,

Once she starts rollin' beneath you.

You know you just can't lose,

The way she moves,

You wait for her to finally release you.

It's not a big surprise to feel your temperature rise,

You've got a touch of redline fever.

'Cause there is just one cure that they know for sure,

You just become a heavy metal believer.

Won't you take that ride ride ride ride on heavy metal?

It's the only way that you can travel down that road.

Satisfied fied fied fied, on heavy metal,

Baby won't you ride, ride it until it explodes.

Heavy Metal

Heavy Metal

Heavy Metal

Heavy Metal

Miserlou by Dick Dale from the opening of Pulp Fiction

Good one. You've reminded me of "Little Green Bag" from the beginning of Reservoir Dogs.

My favorite hands down is Secret Garden by Bruce Springsteen. it was from Jerry Maguire and if you get the right copy of it, they have the quotes from the movie placed into the song at the perfect time.

Danger Zone was mentioned also, I think it was really well played in Top Gun, as was Take My Breath Away. In fact, it seemed like a lot of 80s movies played off the soundtrack really well like In Your Eyes by Peter Gaberiel from the movie Say Anything (Where John Cusack held up the radio outside of the girl's window).

I know this song wasn't written for the soundtrack, but if you get a chance to find this, download it. It's Billie Meyers - Kiss The Rain from Chasing Amy. If you get the Chasing Amy remix, it blends in with the Ben Affleck speech inside the car about how much he loves Joey Lauren Adams. It's a frigging nice blending between words and vocals.

"There She Goes" from I Married an Axe Murderer

and

"A Case of You" (Joni Mitchell) from Practical Magic :D

Joni Mitchell---A Case Of You

Just before our love got lost you said, "

I am as constant as a northern star."

And I said, "Constantly in the darkness

Where's that at?

If you want me I'll be in the bar."

On the back of a cartoon coaster

In the blue TV screen light

I drew a map of Canada

Oh Canada

With your face sketched on it twice

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine

You taste so bitter and so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you, darling

And I would still be on my feet

Oh I would still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter

I live in a box of paints

I'm frightened by the devil

And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid

I remember that time you told me, you said, "

Love is touching souls"

Surely you touched mine

'Cause part of you pours out of me

In these lines from time to time

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine

You taste so bitter and so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you, darling

Still, I'd be on my feet

I would still be on my feet

I met a woman

She had a mouth like yours

She knew your life

She knew your devils and your deeds

And she said, "

Go to him, stay with him if you can

But be prepared to bleed"

Oh but you are in my blood

You're my holy wine

You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling

Still I'd be on my feet

I would still be on my feet

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
