Don’t You Forget About Me - The Breakfast Club
Danger Zone - Top Gun
Would you say we’re in a zone of danger?
Mad World: Donnie Darko
Gary Jules version is the best version
Agreed!
This is a great answer.
That’s actually a slow, dark cover song written exclusively for that film. If you listen to the original version by Tears for Fears, it’s a much more energetic, happy-sounding song. You wouldn’t even know it was dark unless you were paying attention to the lyrics.

Or the minor key.
Yeah I remember the Tears for Fears original, wasn’t a fan when I first heard it. It wasn’t until Michael Andrews/Gary Jules’ version that I became hooked.
Stuck In The Middle With You - Reservoir Dogs.
Had to do a high school speech presentation set to the song doing nonverbal dances.
The trauma has taken the place of the movie lol
Power of love - back to the future
I would have picked Johnny B Goode.
You’re right, that is better
Just Dropped In - The Big Lebowski
Wake Up - The Matrix
Back in 2000, I think you were practically brainwashed into linking Metallica with Mission: Impossible II.
It’s a decent song but I seem to remember that summer its all I heard. 😄
I remember that summer, stuck in the countryside, satellite TV being the only entertainment other than fucking around on my bike. I disappear and Take a look around are similarily linked in my mind.
I was always annoyed a little bit because I was a bigger Limp Bizkit fan and at least their song used the M:I theme music!
Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus - Silence of the Lambs

This version is fun too.
Ha I do think of that one, too.
All Star by Smash Mouth will forever conjure images of Shrek.
Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls to City of Angels, but looks like it was written for the movie so not sure if it counts…
Run dmc Christmas in the hollies - die hard when argyle is driving mcclane to nakatomi plaza.
Brenda Lee rockin around the Christmas tree - home alone
Wouldn’t it be nice (I think thats the name) by the beach boys - 50 first dates
Hero by nickleback - spiderman
Seal kiss from the rose and U2 hold me thrill me kiss me kill me (something like that) - batman forever
U2 elevation - tomb raider with Angela Jolie
Massive attack Protection - Hackers
Hero wasn’t by them, it was only by Chad.
I stand corrected. 🏆
No worries, it’s a common misconception. It doesn’t help that Nickelback was founded in 1995 and the song came out in 2002 iirc.
Cry Little Sister - The Lost Boys
The Touch - Transformers
Short Circuit 2 - Holding on for a hero.
Much more impactful than how it was used in Shrek 2.
Real stakes, life and death. Spoiler warning - clip spoils the climax of the movie…
Omg yes! I didn’t even think of this one until you mentioned it. I was so in love with those movies as a kid.
