Had to do a high school speech presentation set to the song doing nonverbal dances.

The trauma has taken the place of the movie lol

Ha I do think of that one, too.

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Back in 2000, I think you were practically brainwashed into linking Metallica with Mission: Impossible II.

It's a decent song but I seem to remember that summer its all I heard. πŸ˜„

[–] goldenbug@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago

This is the song that got me into rock and eventually metal

[–] misk@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I remember that summer, stuck in the countryside, satellite TV being the only entertainment other than fucking around on my bike. I disappear and Take a look around are similarily linked in my mind.

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 7 points 10 months ago

I was always annoyed a little bit because I was a bigger Limp Bizkit fan and at least their song used the M:I theme music!

[–] Fermion@mander.xyz 6 points 10 months ago

All Star by Smash Mouth will forever conjure images of Shrek.

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 6 points 10 months ago

Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls to City of Angels, but looks like it was written for the movie so not sure if it counts..

[–] CentauriBeau@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Cry Little Sister - The Lost Boys

[–] meathorse@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Short Circuit 2 - Holding on for a hero.

Much more impactful than how it was used in Shrek 2.

Real stakes, life and death. Spoiler warning - clip spoils the climax of the movie...

[–] gotrandom@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Omg yes! I didn’t even think of this one until you mentioned it. I was so in love with those movies as a kid.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Run dmc Christmas in the hollies - die hard when argyle is driving mcclane to nakatomi plaza.

Brenda Lee rockin around the Christmas tree - home alone

Wouldn't it be nice (I think thats the name) by the beach boys - 50 first dates

Hero by nickleback - spiderman

Seal kiss from the rose and U2 hold me thrill me kiss me kill me (something like that) - batman forever

U2 elevation - tomb raider with Angela Jolie

Massive attack Protection - Hackers

[–] BoisZoi@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hero wasn't by them, it was only by Chad.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I stand corrected. πŸ†

[–] BoisZoi@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

No worries, it's a common misconception. It doesn't help that Nickelback was founded in 1995 and the song came out in 2002 iirc.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

The Touch - Transformers

[–] disheveledWallaby@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Not a movie but Men at work Overkill - Scrubs

[–] BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Freebird will always bring back the Kingsman church scene.

Tuesday's Gone will always remind me of Happy Gilmore.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Moby - Extreme Ways from the Bourne franchise.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago
[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Not really a song, but Carmina Burana and Boorman's Exalibur (also bits of the GΓΆtterdΓ€mmerung I guess).

[–] Zier@fedia.io 3 points 10 months ago
[–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

[–] Naboo_calls_for_aid@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

Die another day - obviously made for the movie of with that title, but could stand on its own imo

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

The boys are back in town - a knights tale Right place wrong time - Sahara

[–] tsuchino@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

Night Ranger - Sister Christian / Boogie Nights

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 1 points 10 months ago

Hero by Chad Kroeger makes me think of Spider-Man

When Worlds Collide by Powerman 5000 is linked with Little Nicky (and that P.O.D. song in the opening that I can't remember the name of, too... Shit, and Everlong. Anything by Chicago... dammit, I've watched that movie too many times.) and always makes me picture Adrian taking the throne.

Foxy Lady will forever make me think of that scene in the first Wayne's World movie.
