	This got me thinking that it would be really awesome if you did a quiz on all the Academy Award Best Original Song winners.

	brock:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 08:26 GMT	56 points
	man, I was hoping for Office Spaces's "Damn it feels good to be a gangster."

	I hope to see more quizzes like this one!

	Great quiz. (That's all I've got to say.)

	AStue:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 08:28 GMT	25 points
	I cannot believe "what is love" from night at the roxbury wasnt on here. If ever a song defined a movie it was that song in that movie

	mattrd08:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 08:29 GMT	12 points
	Should've put Eye of the Tiger from Rocky 3 in instead. Also, I was kinda expecting Rainbow Connection from The Muppet Movie as well.

	@bean: Definitely agree on Shaun of the Dead!! It came on in the car today and I started doing the movements like I had a pool cue... Good quiz though. Funny that out of the 12 I got, only 4 came out during the time after I was born...

	fantastic. keep this one up.

	Great job picking not only famous songs from movies, but beyond that picking famous songs from famous movies that were used in dramatically important ways in famous scenes. Nearly every choice here is iconic enough that the scene it comes from could be parodied and immediately recognizable to most people, and even speak to people that have never seen the movie (as on SNL). That said, The Woman in Red seems like a bit of an outlier--sure, it's a tremendously well-known song, but the movie is not, nor can I for the life of me recall what scene it comes from.

	looking forward to a sequel.. "take my breath away" from top gun, "bittersweet symphony" from cruel intentions, maybe even "scotty doesn't know" from eurotrip? great quiz.

	DeaD:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 09:18 GMT	1 point
	colorblind for cruel intentions also. but overall a great quiz :)

	Highlander: Really? REALLY? "Who Wants to Live Forever" and not "Princes of the Universe"?

	mister_pianoman:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 09:23 GMT	3 points
	Clearly, the song made the movie in these cases because I knew every song but one, and only 14 of the movies.

	fatbeard:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 09:24 GMT	5 points
	personally, i wasn't aware that Cruel Intentions had memorable moments. But excellent quiz, looking forward to sequels

	PottyMouth:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 09:29 GMT	1 point
	I was thinking Vacation for I'm So Excited. Who doesn't remember the Christie Brinkley Ferrari scene?

	Giants2082:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 09:58 GMT	2 points
	@CEOIII i totally agree, but in hindsight, i should have known that it was Highlander anyway due to the year, the title, and the fact that it was a Queen song...

	malonetd:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 09:59 GMT	11 points
	@Phil -- Vacation would be "Holiday Road" wouldn't it?

	joshow:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 10:01 GMT	-4 points
	@gurl94: If any song from Top Gun made the sequel to this quiz, it should be "Highway to the Danger Zone."

	jamesj0324:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 10:22 GMT	4 points
	The quiz is great. The Wiki links in the % guessed page need improvement however. Ex: You click Beaches and you get an wikipedia article about a beach.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 10:50 GMT	9 points
	I've probably seen Working Girl a dozen times and I don't remember "I'm So Excited" being in it at all. Great quiz though.

	MovieDynamic:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 10:55 GMT	19 points
	Yeah for "Working Girl" it should've been Carly Simon's "Let the River Run" which, incidentally, won the Best Original Song Oscar that year.

	It wouldn't take MAS*H, but did take mash. What's up with that?

	@fatbeard: Sarah Michelle Gellar kissing Selma Blair's not memorable enough for you?

	@ulashima: Great, but "Eye of the Tiger" isn't in "Rocky." I would also argue that more people would say "Gonna Fly Now" if they knew what the hell the song was called.

	Ribhump:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 15:36 GMT	-1 points
	true, some of these songs aren't big hits, so i'd know 'gonna fly now' if i heard it but wouldn't in a million years be able to tell you the name. That said i thought 'who wants to live for ever' was one of the easier ones...

	FroznMbryo:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 15:47 GMT	3 points
	Great film selection all around. Good concept, well executed

	rockgolf:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 16:01 GMT	5 points
	There's a reason "I'm So Excited" is doing so poorly. IMDB lists it as being on the soundtracks of Transformers 2, Happy-Go-Lucky, Amy Orgasm (sorry), The Story Of Us, The Nutty Professor, Hot Shots: Part Deux, The Fabulous Baker Boys, the answer provided, Vacation and Summer Lovers. The Pointer Sisters could retire on movie royalties alone. I suggest you substitute "Neutron Dance" from Beverly Hills Cop.

	@jamesj0324: As far as I can tell, the Sporcle software just tacks "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" to the front of the answer. This sometimes links to an article on the answer, but far more often leads to a disambiguation page or to an "article not found" page. The problem is that to actually do this right would require human intervention and I doubt they have the necessary man-hours, especially since the links could be set up properly and then Wikipedia changes the target article to a disambiguation page....

	Woman in Red...the moment Gene Wilder jumped the comedy shark. Began a string that included Haunted Honeymoon and See no Evil, Hear no Evil. Sorry, just threw up in my mouth a little.

	AdzTE93:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 16:45 GMT	-1 points
	I was sort of expecting thigs take my breath away by berlin from topgun but i'm glad cos i hate that film.

	Reder:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 17:02 GMT	3 points
	Most fun Sporcle in weeks. Can't wait for the sequel. Couldn't come up with Butch Cassidy, kept thinking Clerks 2.

	hoot:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 17:09 GMT	2 points
	ah 8 mile. I am reminded of that cinematic masterpiece that I'm sure will live on for generations and generations to come ;)

	kidcanada:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 17:39 GMT	9 points
	@joshow & gurl94 - see, I would argue the proper song from Top Gun would be You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling.

	Caesar:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 17:50 GMT	1 point
	Am I the only one who got 8 mile due to it being the thumbnail picture for the quiz? Some great songs and films here! Great quiz

	sub:	Jul 30th, 2009 at 17:50 GMT	1 point
	Tough quiz (as evidenced by the results) but good trivia
