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.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is out this week on 4K and Blu-ray, which means you can relive things like Jack Black’s hilarious piano ballad “Peaches” over and over again.

There was a trend in the early 2000s of rappers starring in action movies and DMX was right in the center of it, appearing in Romeo Must Die, Cradle 2 the Grave, and Exit Wounds, the latter of which had his song “No Sunshine” on the soundtrack.

One of the most fantastic collaborations of all time, the power of Queen and David Bowie combined in 1981 for “Under Pressure”, which had a music video that featured footage from silent movies like Nosferatu, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde and Battleship Potemkin.

The live-action remake of The Little Mermaid arrives in theaters this weekend and while it remains to be seen how it will be received, the bar was set incredibly high by Disney’s 1989 classic, especially in the music department.

While the masks and Spanish guitars would lead you to believe that Bryan Adams’ hit “Have You Really Loved a Woman?” was from one of the 90s Zorro movies, it’s actually the theme song for the deep-cut Johnny Depp movie, Don Juan DeMarco.
