I'm old so I lost most pop culture post 2000 so I may not know most modern movies.

But can you find a better song that fits a movie better than Danger Zone for Top Gun?

Holiday Road from Vacation?

What other songs are absolutely perfect for their movie?

Meh on BtF. Good song but does it really fit the movie? Funny story. Huey Lewis was asked to write a song for Ghostbusters. He didn't want to sell out. "Who you gonna call?" Is "I want a new drug" sped up. They sued and settled. So when Zemekis asked him to write a song for BTF he said why not? I've already been paid for a song in a movie.

Turns out that there was a non disclosure on the settlement so Huey telling that story had to return the money.

One of the best to go together is That Thing You Do from the movie by the same name. They made a catchy song sound like it genuinely came from the 60's and it didn't suck. Impressive accomplishment.

Obvious answers would be from musicals, Disney movies or movies like Purple Rain that was just an extended music video.

The first songs that popped in my head was Sweet Emotion in Dazed and Confused and Stuck in the Middle With You in Reservoir Dogs.

The Departed - Shipping off to Boston

This song is so tied to the movie such that it's played during two crucial scenes, both the into and the climax.

Iheart radio app has a channel called popcorn radio that plays the best (most popular) song from movies. I've heard at least half of these listed in the last week.
