Here’s a list: The best movie songs. To make it I put in two caveats: 1) It had to originate with a movie - I wanted to remove songs from Broadway musicals, but ended up removing far more than I imagined, because of it. (Did you know “Singin’ in the Rain” and “As Time Goes By” were originally from stage musicals?) 2) I only picked the best song per movie. Otherwise there’d be a whole slew from Disney movies, etc. Lastly, lyrical songs only, otherwise the lines get blurred with soundtracks. Without further ado:
