The first starring role for John Candy, Summer Rental has become a deep cut cult classic for 80s comedy fans and it features the only appearance of the Jimmy Buffet song “Turning Around”. 

Coming out in 1999 to coincide with the movie Man on the Moon, alternative rock superstars R.E.M. contributed “The Great Beyond” to the movie’s soundtrack. 

A year ago the vertigo-inducing Fall hit theaters, which featured the song “I Have Never Felt More Alive” by Madison Beer as its end credits song

The Meteor Man celebrated its 30th anniversary this past weekend. While it featured artists like Naughty By Nature, Luther Vandross, Cypress Hill, and Big Daddy Kane in special appearances, the leading single from the movie’s soundtrack was “It’s for You” by Shanice. 

When you name your movie after a song, you definitely need to have a version of that song on your soundtrack and luckily 1994’s I Like It Like That had a killer cover of Pete Rodriguez’s “I Like It Like That” from the supergroup The Blackout All-Stars.

Superhero movies like Daredevil and The Punisher weren’t the only genre embracing nu metal in the early 2000s with horror movies like 2002’s Ghost Ship, which featured Mudvayne’s “Not Falling” on the soundtrack.

One of the most anticipated summer weekends is imminent when Oppenheimer and Barbie open this coming Friday.  While it remains to be seen who will come out on top at the box office, one place Barbie definitely has an advantage is its soundtrack, which includes “Dance the Night” from Mermaid Barbie herself, Dua Lipa.

Along with starring and directing this past weekend’s Insidious: The Red Door, Patrick Wilson also joined metal band Ghost for the ending credits song of the movie “Stay”.

Alongside Matthew Modine and Linda Fiorentino, 1985’s Vision Quest also featured the first movie appearance from Madonna, who performed the song “Crazy for You” in the movie and on the soundtrack. 

A decade before they would become Academy Award winners for Everything, Everywhere All at Once, The Daniels aka Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert directed the over the top insanity that is the music video for “Turn Down for What”.

Despite appearing as the end credits song of Thor back in 2011, “Walk” by Foo Fighters actually paid homage to Joel Schumacher’s cult classic Falling Down in its music video.
