Does is count if the Furs specifically UN-punked it up for the movie?

Also, not even ten in the list yet and we already have a dupe.

"Pet Semetary" is one of my favorite Ramones songs, the production is pretty dated but the melody is haunting to me, and there's a certain sadness about it that crept into some of their songs...like the line "I don't want to live my life again" sounds really mournful to me

lovedolls superstar?sid & nancy?rivers edge?
^ can't actually remember what the theme tunes for these were
― Jaap and roids (NickB), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 20:23 (twelve years ago)
seem like likely candidates though

River's Edge has a melancholy score and a bunch of speed metal for the sdtk. no punk.

― Jaap and roids (NickB), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 20:32 (twelve years ago)

Lovedoll Superstar is Redd Kross doing a song called...Lovedoll Superstar. It's kinda punky but not really. Also not as good as their theme for "1976".
Ladies and Gentlemen The Fabulous Stains had that song by the Ex-Pistols with Ray Winstone instead of Johnny Rotten that was hammered to death throughout the movie. I think it's "Join the Professionals" - not a great song but good punk credentials.

sid & nancy theme was a joe strummer song (love kills). famously, alex cox wasn't allowed to use any of the pistols music in it - kind of a similar situation to the absence of beatles music in backbeat

lean on me had GNR on the title sequence but maybe that's a stretch?

I seem to recall the end credits of Full Metal Jacket had Sid Vicious's My Way
