  2. Mar 10, 2024 · From 'Spider-Man 2' to 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' to 'Rocky III,' here are the 50 best original songs written for films.

    • “White Christmas” from “Holiday Inn” (1942), by Irving Berlin. It always feels strange watching the “Holiday Inn” scene where Bing Crosby, playing a songwriter, teaches this song to Marjorie Reynolds as something that had recently come off the top of his head, because implicit in the scene is the idea that “White Christmas” was written by a human, not God.
    • “Over the Rainbow” from “The Wizard of Oz” (1939), by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg. When you think about it, both of these two top-tier Oscar songs are ditties about the weather.
    • “When You Wish Upon a Star” from “Pinocchio” (1940), by Leigh Harline and Ned Washington. The great triumvirate of movie “wish” songs is completed by Jiminy Cricket’s opening and closing anthem about wishing to be real… something we could all aspire to.
    • “Theme From ‘Shaft’” from “Shaft” (1971), by Isaac Hayes. And now, a different kind of wish fulfillment: that you could be a “private dick that’s a sex machine to all the chicks.”
    • ‘See You Again’, Furious 7
    • ‘When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings’, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
    • ‘My Rifle, My Pony and Me’, Rio Bravo
    • ‘Wait For The Rain’, The Last House on The Left
    • ‘You Can Never Hold Back Spring’, The Tiger and The Snow
    • ‘The Moon Song’, Her
    • ‘Shallow’, A Star Is Born
    • ‘Best That You Can Do
    • ‘All The Stars’, Black Panther
    • ‘The Windmills of Your Mind’, The Thomas Crown Affair

    Written by Andrew Cedar, Justin Franks, Charlie Puth and Cameron Thomaz; performed by Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth When Paul Walker died in a car accident in 2013, the Fast and the Furious lost one of its most beloved stars.

    Written by David Rawlings and Gillian Welch; performed by Tim Blake Nelson and Willie Watson One of the most surprising moments in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs was this little ditty, which kicks in about five minutes into The Coen Brothers’ anthology western. It’s a simple, folksy cowboy ditty, accompanied by the sight of Tim Blake Nelson’s titular...

    Written and performed by Dean Martin, accompanied by Ricky Nelson With popular crooners Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson occupying lead roles, Rio Bravo didn’t have much choice but to include a couple of musical numbers amidst the gunfights and frontier-spirit bravado. Thankfully, this country-western tune is so charming that it doesn’t feel forced, pr...

    Written and performed by David Hess Fun fact: the actor who plays the sadistic serial rapist Krug in Wes Craven’s notorious Video Nasty also wrote and performed the film’s soundtrack. The late David Hess may not be a household name but he was a regular fixture of ’70s and ’80s exploitation fodder, appearing in the likes of Hitch-Hike, The House on ...

    Written and performed by Tom Waits Tom Waits is one of those rare, decade-spanning artists whose work just gets richer with time. His jazzy, barroom lullaby phase ended, and his creatively fecund, “bang-a-radiator-with-a-croquet-mallet” phase began. Then he somehow found a happy medium between these two buzzing poles in his sporadic, soulful post-2...

    Written by Karen Orzolek with lyrics by Karen Orzolek and Spike Jonze; performed by Karen O In the music video for ‘The Moon Song’, Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O admits that she wrote and recorded the ballad at her dining room table, near where she’d read the script for Spike Jonze’s Her for the first time. Old friends and ex-partners, Jonze a...

    Written by Lady Gaga, Andrew Wyatt, Anthony Rossomando and Mark Ronson; performed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper For the fourth big screen version of A Star Is Born, director Bradley Cooper prevailed upon one of the most recognisable stars in the world to play his leading lady. A film about musicians needs good music, so Lady Gaga’s casting was a ...

    Written by Christopher Cross, Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager and Peter Allen; performed by Christopher Cross Yacht rock standard bearer Christopher Cross possessed a face for radio, so when MTV came to rule the roost, he was out on his professional ear. His legacy includes a very good self-titled album, and the absolutely soaring theme from the...

    Written by Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Sounwave and Al Shux; performed by Lamar and SZA Ryan Coogler handpicked hip hop superstar Kendrick Lamar to produce the soundtrack for Black Panther, bringing a much-needed sense of musical identity to an element often overlooked by Marvel movies. (Remember the Spider-Man and Batman soundtracks of the ’90s and early...

    Composed by Michel Legrand with English lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman; performed by Noel Harrison Thomas Crown is an almost entirely impenetrable character; an impeccably debonair millionaire played with icy indifference by Steve McQueen. As such, this song – for which French composer Michel Legrand and American lyricists Alan and Marilyn Berg...
