OK, since this week is Movie Night..let's get the ball rolling..what are your TOP FAVE songs from the movies..and I'm limiting it to original songs for movies..not Broadway shows filmed for the big screen..

My list..not in any order:

1. "Somewhere (over the rainbow)" Wizard of Oz ( AI thread fans of Katherine McTatas will well recall her performance..and maybe we need a pick or two to remind us..)
2. "As time goes by" Casablanca...perhaps the greatest torch song ever
3. "Dancing cheek to cheek" ..Top Hat...(ah, Fred and Ginger)
4. "San Francisco" from the movie of the same name...Clark Gable, Jeanette MacDonald ( boy, did she have a set of pipes..)
5. "Yankee Doodle Boy" " Yankee Doodle Dandy" (Jimmy Cagney could sure dance..

Bonus: "Days of Wine and Roses" ( from movie of same name)
Now, what we're likely to hear:

Fame, Footloose Moon River, Mrs. Robinson, The Way we Were, Stayin' Alive, Titanic ( would anyone dare? maybe Jacob?) Raindrops keep fallin' on my head..,Flashdance

Suggestion for James: Do Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock" ..one of the greatest Rock and roll songs EVER.. it was from the movie "Blackboard Jungle"..he could OWN that..it would stop the show..

And just to prove to you all that I know a little bit about more recent stuff..early 90's film.."Benny and Joon" had a great song by the Proclaimers.. "when I wake up...I wanna be.." I think Paul could do well with this..might save his ass)

I'd like to hear Scotty do "As time goes by"...it would work well in his register...

I hope no one does Over the Rainbow. Its been done to death.

James - WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE by Guns N' Roses from the movie Lean on Me or BAD TO THE BONE by George Thorogood & The Destroyers from the movie Christine

Haley - SON OF A PREACHER MAN by Dusty Springfield from the movie Pulp Fiction

Lauren - HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO by Bonnie Tyler from Footloose

Jacob - OL' MAN RIVER by J.Kern O. Hammerstein II from Showboat or YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE from Carousel

Paul - SOUND OF SILENCE by Simon and Garfunkle from The Graduate

Stefano - HEAVEN by Bryan Adams from A Night in Heaven

Casey - JUST DROPPED IN (TO SEE WHAT CONDITION MY CONDITION WAS IN) by FIRST EDITION from the move the The Big Lebowski

Scotty - I'M A MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW by Soggy Bottom Boys from O Brother Where Art Thou

As for As Time Goes By, I could see Scotty doing that one and even Stefano, maybe even Lauren.

I’m embarrassed to say the only movie I have seen on your list of movies (songs) is “Wizard of Oz”.

I am very embarrassed to say I haven’t seen “Casablanca”. My hubby says I am the only person left in the world who hasn’t seen it. LOL!

I think you are probably correct in saying we will hear “Mrs. Robinson”. I just have that feeling.

I’m sure Jacob will sing something that will make my husband say, “Oh no....please not that!”.
