A different format for this one: a combination of my favorite songs used in movies, and the most effective usage of said songs.
The criteria:
-Limit of one artist & one director
-Musicals and concert films excluded
-Original scores were not excluded but because I don't listen to scores on a standalone basis as much, only a few such tracks appear
-Suggested criteria for voting: either favorite use of song in a film, or favorite song in general.
