I love movies, and I love music, so I can be really picky about pairing the two together. It’s disappointing when music is used inappropriately – like going to a wedding where the bride and groom’s first dance is to a well-known breakup song, or the time I went to a quinceañera and the DJ played Foreigner’s “Waiting For a Girl Like You” during the father-daughter dance.
It’s like, “Did you actually LISTEN to the song??” Awkward!
Luckily, we have here ten examples of music and movies matched in perfect harmony! What makes these theme songs great is that they complement their film’s theme, action, and characters while maintaining wide appeal when taken out of context.
Which of these is your favorite?
Is there another movie theme you think should have made the list?
