So I just made a 'fun' playlist on a whim... I call it my 'Random Movie Songs' playlist...I just went through my entire iTunes, hunting down songs I knew for a fact I had heard/enjoyed/gotten because they were in a movie...it's not gonna be perfect, and I kinda cheated by adding in a few from TV shows (yes, Have You Ever Seen the Rain is in there), but i think it's a pretty interesting collection:

Now I know several of these songs, if not all of them, have been in more than one movie and/or show, but the ones I listed with them are what I think of when it comes up. I also left out obvious songs because they come straight off the OSTs (such as the Top Gun songs not listed here) - I made a few exceptions (such as When Doves Cry or Footloose), and some are NOT the versions heard in the movie (Somebody to Love, or Kiss, obviously). I'm always open to suggestions for songs I could had to the list! XD
