The Top Ten

My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion (Titanic)

This list is rigged. Nothing will EVER top the most iconic soundtrack song of all time.

Both the song and the movie did justice to the tragic Titanic disaster.

R.I.P. to all the lives lost in this tragedy.
And R.I.P. James Horner (1953-2015).

I've watched Titanic more than 100 times. Every time I hear this song, I get goosebumps. It should be number 1.

This song should be higher than #13! Celine's vocals are amazing, and the lyrics are very touching.

(Everything I Do) I Do It for You - Bryan Adams (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves)

YAY! ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES!

I Don't Want to Miss a Thing - Aerosmith (Armageddon)

Great lyrics, great music, and Steven Tyler's voice at the top of his game make this song the greatest movie song of all time.

Listening to the song right now while exploring the website. I just had to come vote for it. One of the best songs ever.

Definitely the best movie song ever.

I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston (The Bodyguard)

This being so low is a disgrace to music.

What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong (Good Morning, Vietnam)

Such a peaceful sounding song.

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen (Wayne's World)
