MM: Movie Madness!

Musical Monday


Welcome to the final themed week for this month: it's time to post about the best song from a movie. (And be sure to read to the end of this post to see what fun we have planned for the month of May!)



Goodness, music from movies . . . how to choose??



There's the final scene from Dirty Dancing that I love . . .



There's "Danger Zone" from Top Gun . . .



**And while we're thinking of Top Gun, let's pause for a moment to admire this**



Ahem.



There's this one from Rocky



And don't forget this one from The Breakfast Club



(Can you tell I like lots of movies -- and music!-- from the 80's??)



Okay, since most of you have probably seen those flicks and recognize the music, I'm going to throw one out that may not be as familiar. This is a key song in one of my all-time favorite movies (which is also highly quotable--if I were into that kind of thing):





Now it's YOUR turn! Which song from a movie do you LURVE?? Post about it and link up--don't forget to spread the comment love!

i've never seen that movie and had no idea that george clooney (??) was at all musically inclined!

but i do LOVE this kind of music! there is actually a goth genre of folky/bluegrassy/country stuff that sounds a lot like this, with a little twist.

i'll share something one week.

Fan freaking tastic pick. I want to watch the film again now :-)

Great choice!

I had a hard time picking also. I see we both like Dirty Dancing. I really enjoyed last month and can't wait to play next month. I will be doing it as soon as I get back from my trip. Have a great Monday.

Girl, you know I'm all about the movies! Oh Brother Where Art Thou is one of my faves!! My best friend and I always say "We thought you was a TOAD!"

PS - I know he's a nutjob, but I will always have a crush on Tom Cruise.
