Best Movie Songs of All Time

Attention!!!

Almost everyone loves watching movies, but there a lot of factors come into play for a movie to be a good one. Casting, acting, directing and more importantly for us music freaks a good soundtrack play an important role in making a good movie a great one. However, not all great films have great soundtracks, but some do, and these are more or less love stories or at least extremely inspirational ones.  Bryan Adams takes the crown for his Everything I Do in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, since it broke records in the United Kingdom when it was initially released and was number one in almost all the countries it charted, not to mention that it is one of the best selling singles and Bryan Adams' biggest hit of all time. At close second is Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You for the film The Bodyguard. It was a hard choice as to who should take the crown but Bryan Adams takes the peak since his song is original. Surprisingly, Kevin Costner stars in both these films. 

The Bee Gees have three entries in the top 30 itself for their three hits in Saturday Night Fever. Grease and Pretty Woman have two entries each as movies. Barbra Streisand, Bryan Adams, Olivia Newton John and Madonna have 3 entries each with Lionel Richie, Celine Dion, Irene Cara, Prince, Will Smith and John Travolta each having 2 entries.
