... The best that you can do is fall in love! =O

There have been so many glorious songs for Motion Pictures over the years. A certain piece of music might remind you of a certain scene or emotion you felt when you while watching the movie. Movies have been a great platform for reaching out to an even wider audience, and many of the best songs have been nominated for an Oscar -- Though some of the greatest haven't.

So, what are your favorite songs from the Motion Pictures?

Top 5:

#1 - "Alfie" from the movie Alfie (starring Michael Caine and Shelley Winters). 1966.

#2 - "Goldfinger" from the James Bond movie Goldfinger (starring Sean Connery). 1964.

#3 - "Over the Rainbow" from the Wizard of OZ (starring Judy Garland). 1939.

#4 - "Arthur's Theme" from the movie Arthur (starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli). 1981.

#5 - "Nobody Does It Better" from the James Bond movie the Spy Who Loved Me (starring Roger Moore). 1977.

Closely followed by:

6. "Theme from the Valley of the Dolls" from the movie Valley of the Dolls.

7. "Maybe This Time" from the movie Cabaret.

8. "Diamonds Are Forever" from the James Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever.

9. "The Man That Got Away" from the movie A Star Is Born.

10. "You Only Live Twice" from the James Bond movie You Only Live Twice.

Johnathan Davis is the man.

Anyways, I'll post a list later (It wont be ALL from QoTD). Gotta get ready for a job interview.

I refuse to let this thread disappear into the void.

There have been so many wonderful songs used for Motion Pictures, and personally, I always remember exactly what happened in a certain movie when I hear a certain piece of music.

Did you know that Stallone had Survivor write that song specifically for Rocky? Talk about tailor-made.
