What is the Best Song From a Non-Musical Movie? (Part 3)
A follow up to my previous two polls of the same type.
Pretty much all movies feature songs, but that doesn't mean they're musicals. A popular song (sometimes written specifically for the movie, sometimes not) is usually played once or twice, and usually whenever we hear that song, we think of that film. Which one is your favorite tune? Not film, mind you, but song?
Thanks to all the IMDb members who suggested!
