Don't You Forget About Me - The Breakfast Club
Danger Zone - Top Gun
Would you say we're in a zone of danger?
Mad World: Donnie Darko
Gary Jules version is the best version
Agreed!
That's actually a slow, dark cover song written exclusively for that film. If you listen to the original version by Tears for Fears, it's a much more energetic, happy-sounding song. You wouldn't even know it was dark unless you were paying attention to the lyrics.
Yeah I remember the Tears for Fears original, wasn’t a fan when I first heard it. It wasn’t until Michael Andrews/Gary Jules’ version that I became hooked.
This is a great answer.
Stuck In The Middle With You - Reservoir Dogs.
Had to do a high school speech presentation set to the song doing nonverbal dances.

Where Is My Mind? by Pixies - Fight Club
Analyse by Thom Yorke - The Prestige
Back in 2000, I think you were practically brainwashed into linking Metallica with Mission: Impossible II.
It's a decent song but I seem to remember that summer its all I heard. 😄
This is the song that got me into rock and eventually metal
I remember that summer, stuck in the countryside, satellite TV being the only entertainment other than fucking around on my bike. I disappear and Take a look around are similarily linked in my mind.
I was always annoyed a little bit because I was a bigger Limp Bizkit fan and at least their song used the M:I theme music!
Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus - Silence of the Lambs

This version is fun too.
Ha I do think of that one, too.
Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls to City of Angels, but looks like it was written for the movie so not sure if it counts..
All Star by Smash Mouth will forever conjure images of Shrek.
Short Circuit 2 - Holding on for a hero.
Much more impactful than how it was used in Shrek 2.
Real stakes, life and death. Spoiler warning - clip spoils the climax of the movie...
Omg yes! I didn’t even think of this one until you mentioned it. I was so in love with those movies as a kid.

Not really a song, but Carmina Burana and Boorman's Exalibur (also bits of the Götterdämmerung I guess).

Hero by Chad Kroeger makes me think of Spider-Man
When Worlds Collide by Powerman 5000 is linked with Little Nicky (and that P.O.D. song in the opening that I can't remember the name of, too... Shit, and Everlong. Anything by Chicago... dammit, I've watched that movie too many times.) and always makes me picture Adrian taking the throne.
Foxy Lady will forever make me think of that scene in the first Wayne's World movie.
