More of an '80s thing (slightly biased due to my age) but is Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now more memorable than Mannequin?

Any film that Queen did the soundtrack to?

Arguably quite a few of the intros in the James Bond films.

How about Big countries "In a Big Country" out of Restless Natives.

Both are awesome but I'd say the music is a big part of what makes the film.

EDIT: https://youtu.be/FJ_Mg7m-ZfY Excellent motorcycle chase.

LMAO! Pick a year, any year and the Americans can do a better job of police chases.

Pah. Name me one other film that has a police chase where someone is thrashing the absolute tatties off a 125 2-stroke.

Terminator 2 is the only other film with a decent small 2-stroke chase sequence but it doesn't count because they do that annoying endless gear change post production engine noise.

Says an ex Navigator of the Oceans. Who cries his eyes out every time at that bit in the movie where the stern breaks off the Titanic. Rolling Eyes Very Happy

Both Celine Dior’s Heart will go on and Bryan Adams everything I do aren’t more famous than the movies though, yes they stayed at number 1 for a long time but everyone knows those movies.

But I bet way more people would recognise the songs than have ever seen the films.
