77 Most Unforgettable Movie Songs (28-23)

      Lou Reed, 'Perfect Day' ('Trainspotting,' 1996)

      Every song in 'Trainspotting' is addictive, but you can't deny the moment when Renton finally has one hit too many, and the carpet becomes his coffin while Lou's earnest voice lulls him with a bittersweet bite. Genius. -- MTC

          Ben E. King, 'Stand by Me' ('Stand by Me,' 1986)

          Through thick and thin, leeches and corpses, Gordy, Chris, Teddy and Vern built a bond that Ben E. King sang about 25 years before the movie's release. Sadly, the song still makes us miss River Phoenix. -- KD
