The marketing men know that a good tune can tempt a few more bums on seats in the cinema, and a best selling soundtrack cd can move an iffy movie’s profits into the black. Some movies have Inspired some great songs, like

 

Car Wash -- Rose Royce

Ghostbusters -- Ray Parker Jr

Mrs Robinson -- Simon & Garfunkle (The Graduate)

Night Fever -- Bee Gees

St Elmo’s fire --JohnParr

Theme from Shaft --Isaac Hayes

Superfly -- Curtis Mayfield

 

 

Any others you can add to this?

 

St Elmos Fire is brilliant, though the film is $h!t!

Don't You Forget About Me - Simple Minds (The Breakfast Club)

 

Great song, from a great film.
