    White Christmas.

    Of course it is.

    Few remember that it won the Oscar for 1942. Fewer still remember the film was called Holiday Inn

    Im going to assume you are just being comparative, and saying that the song is just so good that no movie could be better.

    Because otherwise you would be insinuating that flash Gordon is a bad movie. And we dont tolerate that kind of heresy

    I've yet to meet anyone who's heard Scotty Doesn't Know by Lustra, who has also seen Eurotrip.

    The graduate soundtrack by Simon and Garfunkel. Mrs. Robinson was a work in progress and adapted to fit the movie, and sound of silence, and Scarborough fair are classics of the period and folk rock pillars of the century.

    Interestingly, this was one of if not really the first time popular, contemporary artists had their music featured in a film. Prior, scoring a film was the purview of someone with a music phd. Talk about the beginning of sea change for the industry.

    Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger from the trailers for the movie Disturbing Behavior.

    Also obligatory shout out about how they are a criminally underrated band and their albums are fucking great if you like clever, sarcastic indie rock.

    As good as the 1995 movie was, and it was good, the Techno Syndrome Mortal Kombat song was a certified banger.

    Honorable mention to Blood Rave from the Blade Soundtrack

    Smash Mouth - All Star. It’s so popular from Shrek that most people forget (or never knew) that it started in Mystery Men.

    It’s so popular from Shrek [...]

    [...] it started in Mystery Men.

    I was 15 years old in 1999 when Smash Mouth dropped their second album, "Astro Lounge." All Star was the hit song released on that album and it was all over the radio for the next couple years.

    It was an extremely popular single at the time. Everyone in my school would drop everything to sing along if it came on the radio. Most of my friends (myself included) owned the album on CD. And to think the song was written as an afterthought, when they were finished with the album but needed more songs to fill it out a bit.

    And yes, Mystery Men (1999) was the first film to prominently feature the song. But that film was technically a flop at the time of release, so most people didn't even see it. Which is why no one knows that All Star was in that movie.

    Right as the song's popularity was finally starting to die down, Shrek (2001) released and brought All Star back to life. And it's become the anthem for Shrek movies ever since.

    It was an incredibly popular song on its own back in the day. Shrek just ensured it lasted for several generations instead of dying out in the early 2000s.

    My kids saw Shrek! not too long ago and got into that song. So I put the video from YouTube up for them and did a double take because I had completely forgotten that the video itself is a tie-in to Mystery Men (which is severely underrated imo)

    Arrowsmith - don't want to miss a thing

    I bet most people don't even know it was the lead track written for a movie when it came out.
