Every once in a while you see a movie that has a specific song that either helps set the tone for a movie from the get go, or vice versa; ends the movie with a song that helps sum it all up perfectly. There are many songs I am sure you could name that always make you remember a certain movie, and everyone has their own so feel free to add yours in the comments. These are not ranked in any order, just a random list and my opinion on some of the most memorable movie defining songs. Many of the movies listed are movies I remember from growing up, and the songs I will always associate with them. There are also movies I didn’t see until a bit later in my life that have become some of my favorites, and the songs associated with each of them in this list will also always make me remember these movies. I am sure many people will agree on a lot of these, and please leave yours in the comments as I mentioned earlier.
