What song will you always associate with a favorite movie?
I know this probably could have gone in Music Talk as well, but since movies are the actual main subject...

For me, I can't hear "Somebody's Baby" by Jackson Browne without thinking of Jennifer Jason Leigh in Fast Times At Ridgemont High. It'll be her theme song forever.

For some reason, this is my pick. I can't listen to the song without instantly thinking of the film. I hear the song, and it IS BttF. I can see the entire film playing out in my head when I hear that song.

Power of Love/Back to the Future

The Thompson Twins' "If You Were Here", from the final scene of Sixteen Candles. Also, Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion" from the beginning of Dazed and Confused.

That woulda been my next choice after Tiny Dancer/Almost Famous,infact any song i hear thats from Dazed and Confused puts me right into the scene it goes with but Sweet Emotion and Slow Ride probably stand out since they open and close the flick.

I'm so sorry guys, the only song that popped in my head was the "Lethal Weapon" song by Honeymoon Suite

I was talking with my sexy date when the credits rolled so I remember the beginning of this awful song...
