77 Most Unforgettable Movie Songs (50-45)
50.
Q. Lazzarus, 'Goodbye Horses' ('The Silence of the Lambs,' 1991)
Sure, Buffalo Bill had a fetish for wearing human skins -- and God knows what he did with the other body parts -- but dude had a wicked CD collection. His superfreaky dance number made us squirm, but it also unearthed a haunting tune by an obscure drag singer, which has now become a staple in hipster DJ sets. -- MTC
49.
Geto Boys, 'Still' ('Office Space,' 1999)Seems that 'Boyz n the Hood' have a lot in common with Boys in the Cubicles. The hook to this "beat for the beating" is savage, but doesn't hit nearly as hard as Michael Bolton's fist as it pummels a 30 GB hard drive. Download THIS, bitch! -- MTC
48.
The Creation, 'Making Time' ('Rushmore,' 1998)Director Wes Anderson loves his montages, but this survey of Max Fischer's 18 extracurricular activities (including bee keeping, skeet shooting and calligraphy) is his masterpiece. The Creation's 1966 mod-rock classic adds just the right edge for the most dangerous nerd in school. -- JP

The Doors, 'The End' ('Apocalypse Now,' 1979)Francis Ford Coppola's notorious Vietnam War epic and the Doors' controversial murder-and-incest anthem were practically made for each other -- both are mysterious, melancholy and long as hell. The pairing produced one of the most arresting opening sequences ever committed to film. -- JP
46.
R. Kelly, 'I Believe I Can Fly' ('Space Jam,' 1996)Virtually every NBA montage of the past 10 years has featured this inspiring slow jam. It all started when Michael Jordan teamed up with Bill Murray and a cartoon rabbit -- and proved that Tinsel Town can crap out a movie about anything. -- JP
45.
Bette Midler, 'Wind Beneath My Wings' ('Beaches,' 1988)The theme from the ultimate chick flick is one of those songs we all make fun of in front of our friends. But admit it -- you know you get misty every time you hear it playing at Barbara Hershey's funeral at the end of the film. It's ok, so do we. -- MM
