Best/Favorite songs associated with movies?

[Hanniganite]

I'm just looking for good songs (with lyrics, not scores) from movies...whether they're just on the soundtrack/in the film or are like the song that represents a movie (i.e. Titanic = My Heart Will Go On...Spiderman = Hero, etc)

So far I've pulled tracks from Spidey 2, Garden State, The Punisher (Broken), Daredevil (Bring Me to Life), Will Smith (MIB/MIIB/WWWest) and various Bond films (too easy).

I've been looking through my imdb voting history and the films I've seen but no song sticks out...probably just can't remember them. Hoping maybe some people have their own faves to share.

A walk to remember: Cry and the piano song by Mandy Moore --> LOL ??


I think the ops wants epic song with high impact to the audience, such as My Heart Will Go On, or I don't want to miss a thing, when you bielive, etc

To OP : Academy Award for best original songs is a good start, check out here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy..._Original_Song

then check out the Nominated songs too

anyway I'm a fan of film scores so I think original song sucks :P
