My Top 10:
1. I'm Easy by Keith Carradine (Nashville), 1975
2. Lose Yourself by Eminem (8 Mile), 2002
3. When You Wish Upon a Star by Cliff Edwards (Pinnochio), 1940
4. Things Have Changed by Bob Dylan (Wonder Boys), 2000
5. Streets of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen (Philadelphia), 1993
6. Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) by Christopher Cross (Arthur), 1981
7. Under the Sea by Alan Menken & Howard Ashman (The Little Mermaid), 1989
8. Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova (Once), 2007
9. Skyfall by Adele (Skyfall), 2012
10. Can You Feel The Love Tonight by Elton John (The Lion King), 1994
The first 6 were EASY choices. All musical MASTERWORKS, all among my all-time favorite songs period, not just in movies. The last 4 were harder to decide, between them and a couple that didn't quite make the list. Under the Sea is easily my 2nd favorite Disney song of the modern era (after Circle of Life, which would have ranked waaaay higher than CYFTLT had it not been robbed of the win), and Falling Slowly's one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard (even though i think it's a bit too short). Adele and Elton made it on the strength of their magnificent vocals, the playback value of both songs, and the fact they're 2 of my all-time favorites.
Yours??

Not familiar enough with them all to give a full Top 10, but "I'm Easy" is definitely my #1.

Sooner or Later- Dick Tracy I do remember a similar topic at the old boards. I forgot what my rankings were though.  Looking through the past winners, it's difficult to decide on 10. I know this category gets a bad wrap, but there's a lot of classics that have won or been nominated over the years. 1. Over the Rainbow - The Wizard of Oz 2. Moon River - Breakfast at Tiffany's 3. The Way You Look Tonight - Swing Time 4. I'm Easy - Nashville 5. (I've Had) The Time of My Life - Dirty Dancing 6. Last Dance - Thank God It's Friday 7. Let the River Run - Working Girl 8. Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid 9. Up Where We Belong - An Officer and a Gentleman 10. Best That You Can Do - Arthur Honorable Mentions: -White Christmas - Holiday Inn - Not my favorite Christmas song, but it's so iconic that I felt bad about leaving it off. -When You Wish Upon a Star - Pinocchio - Also another iconic song that I didn't think I could omit. -Baby, It's Cold Outside - Neptune's Daughter - Well I know when it's the holiday season when certain people start to complain about people saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas", and certain other people start to complain about this song. I listed to this song most of my life, and it wasn't until like 5-10 years ago that I even knew people felt that this was problematic. -Theme from Shaft - Shaft - "Shut your mouth." "But I'm talking about Shaft." "Then we can dig it." |
