77 Most Unforgettable Movie Songs (11-7)
11.
Berlin, 'Take My Breath Away' ('Top Gun' 1986)
Tom Cruise had a need for speed, but Berlin set the mood when it was time to slow things down. The band scored the biggest hit of their career, and helped a pre-Dianetics Cruise become Hollywood's quintessential heartthrob. -- MTC
Listen to 'Take My Breath Away'
10.
Chad Kroeger (of Nickelback), 'Hero' ('Spider-Man' 2002)The Nickelback frontman teamed with the lead singer of Saliva for this two-fisted salute to, like, fire-fighters, eagles, spiders and stuff. HUGE song. HUGE movie. HUGE moolah. -- JP
9.
Jennifer Warnes & Bill Medley, 'The Time of My Life' ('Dirty Dancing' 1987)Nobody puts Baby in the corner! This mom-rock classic provided the beat for Jennifer Gray and Patrick Swayze's climactic dirty dance, which proved that sometimes it is okay to hook up with the help. -- JP
Watch '(I Had) The Time of My Life'
8.
Celine Dion, 'My Heart Will Go On' ('Titanic' 1997)... And on, and on. After a billion plays in 1990 alone, Celine's inescapable, Oscar-winning theme to the highest-grossing film in history is still getting airplay at weddings across the land. As "king of the world," Leo DiCaprio should issue a royal decree that this song never be heard again. -- JP
7.
Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, 'Old Time Rock and Roll' ('Risky Business' 1983)Bob Seger never imagined that his all-American salute to the days of old would forever conjure images of Tom Cruise's tighty whities. Good thing they didn't use 'Like a Rock' instead. -- JP
