  1. That description of Holly Golightly is way off, not even Truman Capote would recognise her. She isn't singing to Paul, she is musing on her life and how she has tried to find herself, after deserting her husband and her farm wife life.

  2. This list suffers from major recency bias. At least half of the list should be pre-1980's songs.

    Hard to believe studio execs wanted to yank "Over the Rainbow" 🌈. The same was true of "Moon River"πŸŒ›, bit Audrey was having none of it. Studio execs also wanted to pull the plug on "Star Wars". How do they get hired when they seem to know nothing about film.

  3. Two of my favourite movie songs that were nominated but didn't win are 'Dry Your Tears, Africa' from Amistad, and 'Vois Sur Ton Chemin' from Les Choristes.
    Also, it's a shame that so few from before 1960 were included, but I guess it's understandable given the age range of the channel's viewers. To name a few … Lullaby of Broadway, White Christmas, The Trolley Song, Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah, The Ballad of High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darlin') and Que Sera Sera.

  4. I am missing "I will always love you (Whitney Houston, Bodyguard), "Hero" (Nickelback, Spiderman), und "Don't You (Forget About Me)" (Simple Minds, The Breakfast Club), "Pretty Woman" (Roy Orbison, Pretty Woman), aso.

  5. That corny "reunion" and kiss at the end of "Titanic" is the ballesiest closing scene I have EVER seen — as if to say, "Here's ya Oscar winner and we all know it!"

  6. 1 song I'm surprised that didn't make this list is Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings" from the movie "Beaches". It's a definite tearjerker. We dedicated that song at my grandmother's funeral back in 1997 & it's brought a lot of people, especially my family, to tears. Such a wonderful song.
