    oh, starting with a tough draw from the get go.

    I will skip the James Bond Theme, as it isn't a song-song

    So my votes will be:
    Lisa Loeb - Stay (I Missed You) and
    Berlin-Take My Breath Away

    It's an iconic THEME and instantly recognisable as being a film rather than a Top of the Pops show, so gets my vote

    Bond theme for me, none of the others if you were listening in a dark room would instantly suggest a film

    I guess I interpret the concept of "Greatest Song from the Movies" with the narrower definition of song.

    And personally both Berlin and Lisa Loeb take me to the films they were written for.

    Olivia Newton-John crashed into the back of my Dad's car, that I was driving, the day after I'd passed my test. So no - hold a grudge for long :D

    Ah, between 4 songs here

    I will vote for
    John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John - You're the one That I Want (Grease) - just iconic
    Portishead - SOS (High Rise) - a properly haunting cover

    fwiw, the runner ups are:
    Paul Simon - America (Almost Famous) - have recently developed an interest in Mr Simon and Almost Famous is a great film
    Bobby Womack - Accross 110th Street (Jackie Browne) - one of the few Tarantino films that I enjoyed

    Don't know if I'm too late but...

    John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John - You're the one That I Want (Grease)
    I don't even really like it, but it's an iron clad, iconic classic

    Portishead - SOS (High Rise)
    Just love it. Redefines the song.
