    • Somewhere Over the Rainbow. 1,015 votes. The Wizard of Oz 1939.
    • Beauty and the Beast. 732 votes. Beauty and the Beast 1991.
    • When You Wish Upon a Star. 709 votes. Pinocchio 1940.

    • “Over the Rainbow," Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg from The Wizard of Oz. As timeless as they come. The legendary Judy Garland singing the splendid “Over the Rainbow” in The Wizard of Oz is pretty much the gold standard of movie magic.
    • “Lose Yourself," Eminem, Jeff Bass and Luis Resto from 8 Mile. Eminem’s amped-up anthem made Oscar history back in 2002, becoming the first-ever hip-hop track to win an Academy Award for best original song.
    • “Falling Slowly," Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová from Once. Basically every song from Once is Oscar-worthy (yep, even “Broken Hearted Hoover Fixer Sucker Guy”), but “Falling Slowly” is the one that made everyone fall madly in love with the duo and their little movie (and eventually, Broadway show) that could.
    • “Take My Breath Away," Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock from Top Gun. This soaring, synth-y ballad not only took Berlin all the way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, but to the dizzying heights of having performed a song that won an Academy Award (for songwriters Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock).
