One question, though: Do the songs just have to from "musicals," or can we pick anything in the soundtrack to a non-musical movie?

I have ZERO idea how to not randomly do this one (just a shotgun list of 10 songs... I can recall that would fit this). I'll give it a ponder and hopefully make a half way decent list... that won't make me feel guilty for inevitably leaving out songs I really love but remember at a later (postpublication) date.

Mrs Robinson (The Wolf of Wall Street
Paint it Black (Full Metal Jacket)
Jungle Boogie (Pulp Fiction)
Society (Into the Wild)
Cat People (Inglorious Basterds)
Fortunate Son(Forrest Gump)
Where is my Mind(Fight Club)
Brian Song (Life of Brian)
Best of My Love(Boogie Nights)
Probably many of the songs are not original of these movies, in fact I did not know that Mrs Robinson had been written for The Graduate because I have not seen the movie but the use of these songs were so exact that they undoubtedly influenced my experience at the time of watching these movies.

I'm confused, do they have to be original songs written for a movie, or any song that sounds in any movie?

I got a few hundret songs in my head, that appeared in movies. For me it's an exhausting thing making out, which one I would choose to be better than the other. So I got ten candidates that came first to my mind:
Kenny Loggins: Footloose (Footloose)
AC/DC: Back in Black (Iron Man)
The Knack: My Sharona (Super 8)
Free: All Right Now (american Beauty)
Queen: We Will Rock You (Bohamian Rhapsody)
Queen: Who Want's to Live Forever (Highlander)
The Sweet: Ballroom Blitz (Hot Fuzz)
Huey Lewis and the News: Power of Love (Back to the future)
Louis Armstrong: What A Wonderful World (Happy New Year)
Elvis Presley: It's Now or Never (The In-Laws)
