I was thinking about how many songs have turned into movies over the years. I can think of several.

Stand By Me
Lean on Me
My Girl
Pretty Woman-I know the song is Oh, Pretty Woman but they sing the song in the movie so I think it counts.
If anybody can think of any others, feel free to post them. :)

I just thought of a few more.

When A Man Loves A Woman
Who's That Girl
Love Don't Cost A Thing
Sweet Home Alabama
Purple Rain
Shame (in the movie Low Down Dirty Shame)
All About The Benjamins
Bad Boys
American Pie ( I know the movie is different from the song, but the title is the same so I think it counts)
Footloose
St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)
Big Girls Don't Cry (there is a movie called Big Girls Don't Cry, They Get Even)
Love Hurts
Desperado
Forever Young

Let me know if you think some of these don't count.

"Only the Lonely" by Roy Orbison that later became a film with John Candy, Maureen O'Hara and Anthony Quinn.

"Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin that was a 1945 film that had Alan Alda's dad in it and was Nominated for an Oscar for Best Score.

And here's a few more on this site....
