Since we're talking about movie music, one of the most under-rated tunes comes from a tremendously under-rated movie... Burning Bridges from Clint Eastwood's Kelly's Heroes.

No problem. It’s one of my favorite movie songs as well.
Free Bird in Forrest Gump. That’s all I can think of, lol.

I agree. The story and the ending are so tragic I can't watch it again.
BLESS your beautiful hide!
Wherever you may be!
We ain’t met yet,
But I’m willin’ to bet
You’re the [guy] for me.
“High and the Mighty” was a great movie! And a better book!
Don’t know the name of the tune (from The Great Escape), but there are words to it. It is one of those on-going, ad-lib marching tunes for soldiers. One verse I recall goes something like:
Mable,
I love you Mable.
Love you much more than I am able.
But I am giving
My love to Linda.
She is the one girl for me.
And on and on rhyming with different girl’s names.
It has a descant (counter-melody) too. I think it goes:
Fickle. Fickle.
Dollar to a nickle.
Fickle. Fickle.
She is the one girl for me.
I only began to notice how great Frank Sinatra was the past 10 years or so. Now I love his music. He's a real classic.
I like that one too. The title song from Moonraker is my favorite Bond though.
I don’t know who wrote the “The Great Escape” theme, but it reminds me of the theme from “The Bridge Over The River Kwai”. I wonder if it was written by the same person or if it was an attempt to write a similar theme.
Misirlou! good call!
(scratches head) Okay, I give up. Which one was that?
It's hard to keep all the Bond songs straight -- although a few of them were stinkers that didn't get a lot of airplay.
Huh???? Which one is the worst? "AHDN" (album, and song) is one of the greatest movie soundtracks ever, as is "HELP!", which IMHO has many songs on it which could have easily been on "Rubber Soul"
BTW: you left out "Let It Be", (album version ---way better than the single), not to mention "Yellow Submarine"
"Let It Be" from the Naked album is a cleaner, purer mix ... as is what I consider one of the prettiest, most poignant songs from the Get Back sessions: "Long and Winding Road" with just Paul singing and playing piano without all that lush orchestration which weird Spector did on the original album release.
beautiful,thanks csmusaret, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mERbQIvgJXs

Goldfinger, by Shirley Bassey
Goldfinger. He’s the man, the man with Midas touch. A spider’s touch.
Such a cold finger. Beckons you, to enter his web of sin. But don’t go
in.
Golden words he will paw in your ear, but his lies can’t disguise what
you fear. For a golden girl knows when he’s kissed her, it’s the kiss of
death, from Mr. Goldfinger. Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold.
This heart is cold.

He loves only gold.
Only gold.
He loves gold.
He loves only gold.
Only gold.
He loves gold.
The title song sung by Shirley Bassey.
First words are, “Where are you? Why do you hide?” The background has a very atmospheric texture with strings and a triangle.
I always thought it would've been better with Julie Andrews in it, but then it would've been Mary Poppins all over again.
