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.”

- “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).
