    Ben E. King - Stand By Me (Stand By Me) - A great song from a great film, based on a great novel!

    Wasn't written for the film though was it?.
    It would still be a great song without the film, but not like Monty Python's which was written for the film and is a great song and movie.

    Yes, very true, I think though it suits the narrative very nicely.

    Always look on the Brightside of Life...
    Easy Rider as it really sums up the feeling of the movie so powerfully.. that I nearly always forget the ending.... being caught up in the rush from the song. If you know what I mean like. :)

    Ben E. King - Stand By Me (Stand By Me) [It's just the better song, much as I loved Life of Brian]
    SteppenWolf - Born to be wild (Easy Rider) [Rocky movies or music never really did it for me]

    Stand by me - This song would one of the most recognised songs I think

    Eye of the Tiger - Again another very well known song, even ask any kid on the streets & they'll know this song. I reckon Rocky's got a good chance of taking home the belt tomorrow.
