Time for something different... and there's nothing like a closing credits song that hits just right. This is obviously not based on how much you like the song itself... but how perfectly the song fits the end of the film. The song could be played at the end of the film (and end as the credits begin), start in the film and bleed into the credits, or begin at the opening of the end credits. And I think this should be kept to songs and not pieces of the film's score... unless anyone objects. So send me a ranked list of your top 25 closing credits songs by Sunday, January 24th... 2021.  Your ballot should include both the name of the song and the name of the film.***Feel free to post any (spoiler-tagged) FYCs in this thread.*** Obvious example: Ooh La La ~ RushmoreFinal list might be more than 25... but we'll see how the turnout is.

I know many people hate the movie but Because (The Beatles) during the closing credits of American Beauty is just perfect for me.

Voted! Maybe it's just because I'm a sucker for a great end-of-movie needle drop, but this is one of the toughest poll responses I've ever had to narrow down.  FYC"The Rhythm of the Night" -- Beau Travail "Dreams" (cover by Faye Wong) -- Chungking Express "Auto Rock" -- Miami Vice "Acrophobia" -- Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives "Road to Nowhere" -- Transit "Farewell" -- Inside Llewyn Davis "I'm Just a Little Person" -- Synecdoche, New York |

Give me a reminder to do this as it could take me all day to narrow down my picks. Too many great picks I'll likely miss anyway.
Best one has to be "Just Like Honey" from Lost in Translation though. So FYC the fuck out of that.
