Ghost (1990) "Unchained Melody", by The Righteous Brothers Ignoring health and safety hazards, plus basic hygiene, Sam (Patrick Swayze) and Molly (Demi Moore) throw caution to the wind to get down and dirty, while The Righteous Brothers play in the background, in this endlessly imitated timeless scene. |

Dirty Dancing (1987) "(I've had) The Time of My Life", by Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes Kellerman's is closing down for the summer, but the final dance echoes with the feeling that innocence has been lost and everything is coming to an end. Until Johnny (Patrick Swayze) enters the room and spices up the party. Soon everybody's dancing. |

Grease (1978) "Greased lightnin'", sung by John Travolta and the cast of Grease Mixing fact and fiction the T-Birds fantasize about juicing up and old car. |

West Side Story (1961) "Jet Song", sung by The Jets When you're a Jet, You're a Jet all the way. From your first cigarette. To your last dyin' day. Nuff said? |

Great Expectations (1998) "Kissing in the Rain", by Patrick Doyle Finally overcome by his feelings Finn (Ethan Hawks) runs through the rain soaked city, walks into a small restaurant, picks up Estelle (Gwyneth Paltrow) - the girl who has haunted him since childhood - takes her her outside and kisses her, in what appears to be one continuous shot, set to Patrick Doyle's breathtaking score. |

Empire Records (1995) "Seems", by Queen Sarah Saturday Each morning the clerks of "Empire Records" draw straws - or rather M&M's - to determine who's going to pick this mornings pre-opening song.

10 Things I Hate About You (1999) "Hypnotize", by Notorious B.I.G. Having spend most of the film as an uptight b*tch, Kat Stratford (Julia Stiles) finally lets lose in an alcohol induced dance craze. She jumps on a table and gets down and jiggy to the sound of Notorious B.I.G. Word. |

Risky Business (1983) "Old Time Rock and Roll", by Bob Seger Take those old records off the shelf and watch Tom Cruise glide into stardom, on white socks, with this classic cut from Bob Seger. |

Pretty Woman (1990) "Oh, Pretty Woman", by Roy Orbison The song that made the film. The film that made Julia Roberts. A timeless montage and a timeless song, underlined by the fact that is was first recorded in 1964, and still seems like it was written for this story. |

Bring It On (2000) "Mickey", by B*Witched Even though this track doesn't begin until after the show is over it's still one of the most memorable moments in the film. After everything has been said and done the cast dance around and mime to this catchy tune, intercut with outtakes from the film. Good times. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face. |
