77 Most Unforgettable Movie Songs (6-1)
6.
Peter Gabriel, 'In Your Eyes' ('Say Anything' 1989)
You have to respect a man who's willing to suffer for love -- and given how long he held that boombox over his head, John Cusack's arms must have been killing him. He might have gotten the girl quicker if he'd played 'Sledgehammer,' though. -- JPListen to 'In Your Eyes'
5.
The Righteous Brothers, 'Unchained Melody' ('Ghost' 1990)Who knew pottery could be so hot? Demi and the Swayze got down and dirty to this 1965 Phil Spector-produced hit and cleaned up with a $214 million paycheck. We still blush a little when dad gives mom a clay vase for Christmas. -- JP

The Bee Gees, 'You Should Be Dancin'' ('Saturday Night Fever' 1977)Only the kings of disco could have scored the moment when the original JT catches a fever on the dance floor. And you thought Justin got the inspiration for his 'Rock Your Body' video all by himself? Think again. -- MTC

Elton John, 'Tiny Dancer' ('Almost Famous' 2000)Give it up to Cameron Crow for making 'Tiny Dancer' the new '100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.' 'Almost Famous' was an open love letter to rock 'n' roll, and this scene was the little heart over the "i." -- MTC
2.
Eminem, 'Lose Yourself' ('8 Mile' 2002)If '8 Mile' is the hip-hop 'Rocky,' then 'Lose Yourself' is rap's answer to 'Eye of the Tiger.' Not only did Em's acting skills earn $300 million at the box office, he scored the biggest hit of his career and got to shout out co-star Mekhi Phifer as he spoils the film's entire plot in the song. -- JP

Queen, 'Bohemian Rhapsody' ('Wayne's World' 1992)By itself, this operatic rocker has nothing to do with "party time," but when the tape is popped into the deck of Garth's "Mirth Mobile," 'Bohemian Rhapsody' gives rise to music's most excellent cinematic moment. Let the triumphant head-banging begin! -- JP
