Top 10 best movie songs ever according to Magic

My vote goes to "Summer Night", which I can even bear listening to.....

"If I had to choose just one, I'd choose...none of them" -- Coach McGuirk

Wisdom from McGuirk.

Aerosmith - I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing, Armageddon

wait, I thought this was a which is worst poll

You know a list is complete shit if the best song on it is from Grease.

Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You, The Bodyguard

very easy choice

The Whitney track may objectively be the best song on here, but it's tainted by having been played to death for the last 18 years.

I don't mind the Whitney or Celine tracks, honestly. But "Summer Nights" is probably the only one I'd ever listen to willingly. That's the only one with a narrative that specifically references the film in question, isn't it?

(Favourite film of the four that I've seen: Lion King)

"Summer Nights" and the Whitney track are the only things tolerable here. Like most everybody else, I'm going with "Summer Nights," which, when I'm in a good mood, might cross the line from tolerable to pleasurable.

i dig the elton john tracks too

Haven't heard the Whitney song for, like, a decade. Anywhere.

Still hear "Summer Nights" at almost every wedding reception I ever go to.

Vote goes to Whitney.

Haven't heard the Whitney song for, like, a decade. Anywhere.

Nice cave. Any vacancies?

i like the celine and aerosmith songs

but voted circle of life

I heard the Whitney song in a CVS not long ago, but I think that it's conspicuously underplayed given how overplayed it was back in the 90s. Same with "My Heart Will Go On."

Vote goes to "Can You Feel the Love Tonight", but what the hell at "Somewhere Out There" being excluded.

"Time of My Life" followed closely by bodyguard. I'd rather not ever hear any of the others again.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

This is the worst list ever written by anyone.

oh oops i accidentally voted for celine dion (IT'S A GOOD SONG OK) when really i should have voted for elton :\

what a horrible list.

nah i fuck w/"time of my life" at least

The Elton tracks are alright, but..

Can You Feel The Love Tonight, The Lion King

.. have you heard the (non-elton) version that's in the film? I've never heard a song 'inserted' so out-of-placely in a film, ever.

Those (of us) who can hit that intro low note(s) of "Time of my life", do so whenever the opportunity arises...

NOTA

My first thought was according to Magic Johnson! Jesus Magic has terrible taste.

Jesus Magic moves in mysterious ways.

wow, "ever." It's like Eric H's definition of comedy not starting til the '70s.

I Will Always Love You wasn't even written for a film.

"Movie songs"? Yikes--the Magic people need to see Mean Streets, Boogie Nights, Scorpio Rising, etc. I mean, I understand their definition of a movie song, but that's the kind of list you end up with if you use that definition. Or maybe not--I'm sure you could generate a much, much better list based on the same definition.

why no phil collins on this list?

HOW CAN I JUST LET YOU WALK AWAY, JUST LET YOU LEAVE WITHOU . . .

Eric H's definition of comedy not starting til the '70s

Yeah, that's exactly how I defined it.

it is! correct me if you've updated.

Sir Elton John - Circle Of Life, The Lion King

^^^^^^^

Shit's brought me to tears.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Rule The World is a pretty solid tune imo

i agree kinda

oh thank God no one voted for that "Pearl Harbor" shit

i would have voted for this version but unfortunately it was not featured in a movie soundtrack :(((((((((((

I was about to say, "This list could not be worse," but Mr. Snrub said the same, with exquisite phrasing.
