Hit Songs from Hit Movies - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Can anybody name any hit songs from movie soundtracks?

I know most of The Bee Gees Hits were from Saturday Night Fever.

Another one is Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head by BJ Thomas from the movie Buch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid.

And Everybody's Talking by Nillson was a big hit from Midnight Cowboy.

I can't think of any more right now.

Maybe later.

Not necessary, AKA.

A good example is Oliver Stone's The Doors movie.

You can have old hits songs, that were later used in movies if you want.

Cocktail also had Bobby McFerrin's Don't Worry Be Happy. Top Gun also had Berlin's Take My Breath Away. There was a period where Tom was the king of movie soundtracks, like John Travolta was before him... yet none of his movies since Jerry Maguire's had a hit single

Janice · 12-28-2003, 06:15 PM

Henry Mancini wrote, Moon River, which was made famous in the movie, Breakfast At Tiffanys.

The song, The Days of Wine and Roses, is from the movie of the same name. I don't know which came first. Great classic movie about alcoholism with Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick -- a heartbreaking story.

I Disappear by Metallica from Mission: Impossible 2 did pretty well.

I forget all about the Mission Impossible movies, since they are so different than everything else Tom's done the past decade IMO.

There are lots of cool songs in the James Bond's movies.

Also, the movie, Pretty Woman, had some great songs.
