Pick 10 songs from motion picture soundtracks that you really enjoy -- and from which you also enjoy the film. They can be original compositions for the film, songs from The Great American Songbook, classical music pieces, anything. Please name the movie, the performer/artist(s), and the song. This isn't a competition, so let's please not try to turn it into one.

2. Goodfellas - Tony Bennett - Rags to Riches
3. West Side Story - Dance at the Gym
4. Desperado - Tito & Tarantula - Strange Face of Love

Guys, please don't do this. I wanted this thread to be about memorable motion picture soundtrack tracks. If you are hankering to discuss soundtrack albums then please, start your own thread rather than take this one off topic.

Thank you.
