I'm sorry, but I can't hear "All star" without seeing Shrek come out of his bathroom

[anqen...]

I agree with some people here about “Johnny be good” in Back to the Future…

[kandipiatkowski]

"Power of Love" -- Back to the Future
"Free Bird" and 1812 Overture -- Kingsmen: The Secret Service
"All Star" -- Shrek
"Friend Like Me" -- Alladin
"You've Got A Friend In Me" -- Toy Story
There's plenty just can't think of them right now.

"Oh, Pretty Woman" -- Pretty Woman
"Shout" -- Animal House

Love how Tim Burton added Harry Belafonte in Beetlejuice movie.

[ConfesserDubs]

I think of Saturday Night Fever whenever I hear Stayin’ Alive by The Bee Gees

[tlmarshall]

"Dangerzone" Top Gun
"I Swear" Just Friends
"Purple Rain" Purple Rain
"Wind Beneath My Wings" Beaches
"The Sound of Silence" The Graduate
"Ride of the Valkyrie" Apocalypse Now
"Fight The Power" Do the Right Thing
"Cruel Summer" The Karate Kid

Oh come on… the Blues Brothers didn’t even get a mention?!! Ray Charles man!!

[raynor]

Top Gun: You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling

[erezjgazit]

The honorable mentions are the best part of the list

[syn]

I can't hear Wonderful World without thinking of Good Morning Vietnam

[fangirlable]

Seriously?!!! Ferris Bueller’s “Twist And Shout” should’ve been #1 on this list, instead of being in Honorable Mentions.

[leomcshizzlepjocastdeserve]

for me it’s “bennie and the jets” in 27 dresses
and “youre so vain” in how to lose a guy in 10 days

[trinaq]

The Elton John sing along on the bus is so iconic, that my cousins and I always tried to replicate it on long car journeys, but with mixed results. 😅

[j.b.abraham]

If you grew up in the 80s, I think John Hughes had a knack for picking music that matched his films. Sixteen Candles has Wham and The Thompson Twins that I immediately think of the scenes when I hear those songs, same with Psychedelic Furs, from Pretty in Pink, Yello, from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and the remake of People are Strange by Echo and the Bunnymen for The Lostboys

[heatherchaffee]

No mention abt “Time of my life” from Dirty Dancing….

[ken_ken]

Not having the Johny B Goode scene from Back to the Future felt like a crime, but still a great list

[diamondstud]

“Shout” from Animal House and “You’ve lost that Lovin’ Feeling” from Top Gun

[trinaq]

I love that Tom Cruise improvised the entire "Old Time Rock and Roll" scene, where in the script, it was written as "Joel dances to music." It's a testament to how skilled of an actor he is, he really should have won an Oscar by this stage in his career.

Town called Malice by The Jam and Billy Elliott are permanently linked in my mind.
I cannot hear the song without seeing the dance in my head.
