As I lay in bed, I have a chance to listen to a lot cd's and watch the movies that otherwise I wouldn't havee the time to listen to or watch. So I thought I would ask all of you which one song and movie is your all time favorite. One that ranks absolutely at the top of your list!! For me::
Song--Hotel Califronia by the Eagles
Movie--Dead Poets Society
You have great taste, emerald. For me...
Song - "Let's Get it On" ~ Marvin Gaye
Movie - Lion King
Song(s)---Hotel California--kodachrome--Comfortably numb--Devil in a blue dress.
Movie(s)-- Easy Rider---The Wall(Pink Floyd)--Casablanca.
"Insane Asylum" with Willie Dixon & Coco Taylor vocals and Buddy Guy on Guitar, Chess Records
One of my fav lines, I can't remember where, is "You can have my husband, but leave my man alone."
Song...SE RARE by Jimmy Dorsey (old Big Band Nut here)
Movie...AIRPLANE or HIGH NOON
OK, so I'm an oldie but goodie...
Song: It must have been love from Pretty Woman
Movie: The End of the Affair (Ralph Feinnes & Julianne Moore)
Song: Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto in E-Flat (Winton Marsalis)
Movie: Strawberries Need Rain
Waaaaaaaaahhh! Odd choices. 
Since when did Winton start singin?
Strawberries is a ripoff of Bergman's Seventh Seal. Maybe you just love Monica Gayle
TET
Agree on Strawberries, but I just loved it. It wasn't until maybe 20 years after I saw it, that I learnt about Monica Gayle. Would it would come out in video.
Winton doesn't sing, buty is trumpet does. His treatment of that concerto is haunting.
Song: Mozart Clarinet Concerto to go with Haydn
Movie: Think it was called 'What dreams may come" with Robin Williams
If I HAD to pick just one from each:
Song: Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen
Movie: Midnight Run with Robert DeNiro & Charles Grodin
that a 'sister' loaned to me to watch: "Harold and Maude".
Now that's quite interesting..a really different movie. Ruth Gordon was superb in it.
I'm sure a lot of people thought that was an odd movie, and it was, but the simplicity of it made it so profound.
it is a great movie and the song (trouble),played while ruth is in the hospital by cat stevens is also great.
Film: Magnolia
Song (from film): Wise Up
song is really hard. I like lots of music.
Hard question.
Songs depend on my mood so amoung my favroites:
Would & Down in a Hole-Alice in Chains, anything by Nirvana, U2's album the Joshua Tree amoung the other albums, most of Glen Miller and most big bands, some of Pavarotti (sp?)almost anything from the Punk era (Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Replacements etc. etc.) most Tool, although Sober & Shisim come to mind, a lot of Judy Holliday, Metallica pre-Load most "Grundge" era bands almost any fusion Jazz or "new age" like Enigma or the Yellow Jackets etc etc. And the hits just keep on comming!! : ^)
Movies are the same but some favs
Field of Dreams, Sleepless in Seatle, yeah yeah I know, but I'm a sucker for 2nd chance movies
Seldom
Movies - tough to call from "Five Pennies", "Casablanca", an Affair To Remember' with the winner probably
"Singing In The Rain"
Songs - way tougher but one stands out because of the genre and the performers with many others close but
"Sweet Georgia Brown" - the Gene Krupa version
Movie: The Wild Bunch
Song: Preachin Blues, Son House
-- Modified on 2/21/2004 3:38:02 PM
What a great movie the Wild Bunch was ...
Song: Nobody's Home by Kansas
Movie: This is tough, but Heartbreak Ridge comes to mind
Song - Emperor Concerto (Beethoven's Piano Concerto #5)
Movie - Hud (with Cool Hand Luke a close second)
Hmmmm.... For favorite song, I'd say the Stones' "Gimme Shelter."
Favorite movie is an easy one: "Casablanca."
--b.
This is impossible......Songs......A Day in the Life, Like a Rolling Stone, about five songs from the Clash's London Calling, "One" U2.....Movie would be, god I'm brain dead...The prison movie with Morgan Freeman and what's his name.....based on the Steven King short story? Oh finally, The Shawshank Redemption. Won't mention all the usual suspects, Godfather 11, etc.
That would be for best drama AND comedy.
Song? I bet tyou weren't thinking this far back
"Lachrymosa" from the Requiem, K 626, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Best movie sound track.
"Platoon" which includes "Adagio for Strings" by Samuel Barber.
Song: Varies, but right now it's "Come on in my Kitchen", by Robert Johnson.
Movie: Too many, but there are two by Kurasawa I like a lot:
Dersu Uzala
Rashomon

I have far too many favorites to like one of each above all others. However, at this moment in time, I chose what popped into my head first:
Movie: The Princess Bride (The Crow or Alien could also appear here.)
Song: What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Note: Kenny G should be dragged through the streets and pelted with rotten fruit for DARING to think that he could, in any way, improve this song.
Pulp Fiction
Movie-"To Kill a Mockingbird"
Song-"How Long" by Ace 1975
Difficult choice in both categories
My taste in music is quite wide ranging from classical through blues/jazz to rock.
To choose something from the rock/pop category I would have to go with "Bridge over Troubled Water" --Simon and Garfunkel
Then there are a couple of others just for their lyrical diversity:
"We Didn't Start the Fire" --Billy Joel
The song is like a mini history lesson set to music
"American Pie" -- Don McLean
Actually just too many in different genres to pick just one.
Movie: "To Kill a Mockingbird" loved the movie, loved the book.
"Schindler's List" was perhaps the most emotionally powerful film I have ever watched.

Good Morning Heartache - Freddie Jackson
It's a Wonderful Life
So many great songs...different favorites at different times and moods
Stairway to Heaven...Led Zepelin
Badge...Cream
At Last...Etta James
Just the way you are...Billy Joel
Have I told you lately... Van Morrison
Unchained Mellody...Righteous brothers
Suspicious Minds...Elvis
Mack the Knife...Bobby Darin
Summer Wind...Ole' blue eyes
Mercy,Mercy Me...Marvin Gaye
Let's stay Together...Al Green
Margaritaville...Jimmy Buffet
I like movies that make me want to watch them time and time again, like "A Month By The Lake." It was not a fantastic movie, no incredible stunts, just a sweet love story with some silly humor thrown in, and the scenery was beautiful: Lake Como in Italy. It's the type of movie that relaxes me. I also like "Chocolate", "Thelma and Louise", "When Harry Met Sally", "Pulp Fiction", "Sense and Sensibility", "The Little Mermaid" (believe it or not), "French Kiss", and yes Sedona -- "Harold and Maude". I guess I'm a sucker for weird or romantic stories. I especially like scarey movies, as long as they're not too gorey. I prefer thrillers to stabbing. Yuk! I also enjoy a lot of independent (non-Hollywood) films. However, I'd have to say that my all-time favorites would probably be "Casablanca" and "African Queen".
Hugs,
Ciara
But my all time fave song is "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton
I can put it on repeat and listen to it for hours.
Fave Movie Runners-Up
Goodfellas
Fight Club
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Basic Instinct
Casablanca
Disney's Aladin and The Lion King
hedwig and the angry inch, manhunter peaches: fuck the pain away led zeppelin: in my time of dying
Song - Poem on the Underground Wall, Simon and Garfunkel
Move - Klute, with Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland
I agree with those who say its a tough choice. Any real music and movie lover (and I consider myself both) almost has to produce a list. In the spirit of things:
Song --- The Show Goes On by Bruce Hornsby and the Range
Originally heard in '88, but was used on soundtrack for Backdraft.
Movie --- Field of Dreams
Because, until the last five minutes, you think it's a baseball movie.
