"Flash" from Queen. I really liked this song, but the movie was a little campy and disappointing for me.

Shy Guy from Bad Boys absolutely slaps. Movie not so much.

Almost Unreal from the first Super Mario movie.That's like, not a hard movie to make a song better than though.

Absolute Beginners from the movie of the same name. Not quite peak Bowie, but it's an absolute stinker of a movie.

Do You Want To Be A Hero from the Biggles soundtrack also ridiculously good considering how bad the movie is. I have no idea how a Biggles movie got signed off as a time travel movie but there it is, being the worst thing ever.

East Bound and Down is a far, far better song than Smokey and the Bandit deserved. I mean it's okay but it's not, y'know, that good.

I liked Smoky and the Bandit(the first one), but we have our own tastes

Smokey and the Bandit is decent, but that song is an all timer.
