I can't listen to A Town Called Malice without thinking of Billy Elliot and wanting to do some tap dancing 💃 and then watch the movie again.

Fallen by Lauren Wood from Pretty Woman. I bloody love that song and used to play it on the pub jukebox incessantly!

Loads of the ones above...Pulp Fiction and Dirty Dancing soundtracks. Also Flashdance -- What a Feeling

TV not film, but Don't Look Back in Anger always makes me think of Geordie crossing the Tyne Bridge alone at the end of Our Friends In the North. I felt so sorry for his character.

I like to move it - Madagascar

Arlanymor · 28/01/2025 23:27

Obvious one: Take My Breath Away - Top Gun (and I don’t like the movie!)

Less obvious: Nothin’s Gonna Stop Us Now - Mannequin

Also for instrumentals I think the soundtracks to Amelie and Vicky Cristina Barcelona are both hugely distinctive and fantastic.
