White Christmas...................Holiday Inn...........................Bing Crosby

Ol' Man River.......................Show Boat............................Paul Robeson

 

I'll second these. I got goose bumps the first time I heard/saw Paul Robeson sing Ol' Man River.

 

Here's my selection (sorry, I can never stick to the limit).

 

Hair—Hair—Treat Williams and cast (honourable mention, I Got Life)

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas—Meet Me in St Louis—Judy Garland

Pure Imagination—Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory—Gene Wilder

In a World of My Own—Alice in Wonderland

Feed the Birds (Tuppence a Bag)—Mary Poppins—Julie Andrews

Baby Mine—Dumbo—Betty Noyes

I love the theme from Dragonheart, and the theme for The Shire from Lord of the Rings.

For not instrumental ones, I've always loved Go the Distance from the Disney version of Hercules, and the Phil Collins song You'll be in my heart they used for Tarzan.

And On my way by Rusted Root which was used in Matilda :smile:

Loved the soundtrack to Slumdog Millionaire. Jai ho!

Also, Gone in 60 seconds had terrific soundtrack with Moby.

The Lionking of course!

 

Best song that was in a movie? Seems to me maaaaany songs have been featured in movies, so I would rather answer to best original score. Otherwise my head would spin! Too much to choose from ;)

How in the world did I miss "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. It is one of my very favorite songs.

You can never go wrong with Hans Zimmer! He's absolutely amazing, and incredibly prolific.

I especially love the Pirates of the Carribean theme. And 'You're So Cool', from True Romance.

 

The closing sessions of 'Heat', as well - 'God Moving Over the Face of the Waters', by Moby.

Hans Zimmer is absolutely amazing in his field. Pirates of the Caribbean, Madagascar, da Vinci code, Lionking...... He's the go-to-guy for soundtrack!

Huah-a-bye Mountain - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - Dick Van Dyke and Sally Anne Howes

La Seine - A Monster in Paris - Vanessa Paradis and Sean Lennon

Derezzed - Tron Legacy - The Chemical Brothers (no lyrics, just awesome electronic music)

This song doesn't compare with some of the classics, but oh lord, I sure do love it. It is from the movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney.

 

Down to the River to Pray - by Alison Krauss

That is really beautiful Muggles. The true test of a very good singer - they still sound great and stay in tune with no musical backing.

Did you see the movie. It was really good with great music throughout.
