Songs that became movies - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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.
