Where are they now: Huge film songs.

I thought the Avengers theme song was pretty sweet! I even prefer it than the Star Wars theme.

Also, Wonder Woman theme rocks!

Of course it's changed. There's only one thing that never changes, Mina: change itself. There is always change.

I love this ..

Nice topic!

I do think it's funny that you mentioned, "The Transformers song," while failing to remember at least two; "What I've Done" and "New Divide", both by Linkin Park.

"Immortals" by Fall Out Boy was also a decently received song from "Big Hero Six".

Those are just off the top of my head...

They still try to do this with songs and movies, but the more recent ones just don’t stick as well as the old ones. I would say this about TV shows also. Here With Me by Dido and the show Roswell and Remy Zero’s Save Me and Smallville will forever be linked.

I think it’s because songs once tied more into the story of a film/show than they do now. I often find music in a current film to be jarring. Instead of the acting creating emotion and the music lending to that emotion, it often feels like the music is trying to make up for what is lacking in a scene emotion-wise.

Kind of the same way jump scares only scare you for one second, the songs will make you excited or sad or uncomfortable for like 5 seconds – but if the scene isn’t contributing to that same mood, then the music feels out of place.

All of the songs I associate with movies aren’t recent movies, and I don’t even like some of these movies. For example:

Boys on the Side – You Got It
Matilda – Little Bitty Pretty One by The Jackson 5
The Breakfast Club – Don’t You Forget About Me by Simple Minds
Ghost – Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers
10 Things I Hate About You - Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Twins – Yakety Yak by The Coasters
Practical Magic – This Kiss by Faith Hill
Home Alone – I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas by The Drifters AND Carol By the Bells
Dangerous Minds – Gangstas Paradise by Coolio
Men in Black – Men in Black by Will Smith
Armageddon – I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith
Risky Business – Old Time Rock and Roll by Bob Seger
A lot of horror movie ones come to mind, like Jeepers Creepers and the Buffalo Bill Song from Silence of the Lambs.
Spiderman, Titanic, Rocky and The Bodyguard belong here as well.
