Is there a song from a movie that now, every time you hear it, you think of the movie?
One incredibly strong association for me is "Blessed Assurance" from the very opening of the movie "Places in the Heart"
I love the movie
And besides the very ending scene, this opening credits scene is the scene I remember the most; due in large part to the performance of this song
"Blessed Assurance" has never sounded better to me than this choir's performance for the movie score, Bethel Community Church with a very talented Cheryl Hardwick at the piano
The "Bad to the Bone" - - did the movie use George Thorogood's (spelling?) version? I lvoe it. :)
Good answers, there, Rizz!
And, hey, I'm posting the Simple Minds song . (- - they're my favorite group! I just recently saw them in concert; I asked a silly question about the concert a few days ago -- I think you maybe already knew that because I then, for a while, had trouble editing anything in the question and I asked a question about it -- you answered that one.)
I'm sorry for being so seemingly dense, forgetting details about talking about them with you. It's been a hectic couple of days for me with work and this week looms largely with some challenges. Enjoyable ones, but challenging nonetheless. :)
Boy, every time I hear this song, I enjoy the clear voice lead vocalist Jim Kerr has. Well, actually any Simple Minds song -- his voice really hits me well.

I had not heard this "The Great Escape" theme. I've not seen that movie. But after listening - - I like it, too - - I saw that Elmer Bernstein wrote it. I surely love his "To Kill a Mockingbird" score, too! I thought I'd go ahead and post the opening credits here - - I listened to eight seconds of it and I teared up -- I'm so sentimental lately, ha! :)
EDIT: Oh, I have to run off now - - I'll come back for the second one you posted. I've got a lot of catching up to do to listen to muggers' posts in my questions! :)

Is "Alice's Restaurant" song actually from "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore"? And this video - - this has to be made especially for the song. Fun! I admit I've never heard this entire song. I listened and watched for the entire nineteen minutes! :) That was great. :)
There was no connection to "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore." "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" was a ballad by Arlo Guthrie, son of reknowned folksinger Woody Guthrie, about events that happened around Thanksgiving in 1965. The video was made with scenes from the movie "Alice's Restaurant," filmed on location in 1968 in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts and New York City. The song became a record album and then the film. What's fun for me is that my mom lives for about half the year in West Stockbridge, and our house is about 5 miles up Massachusetts Route 41 from the old Trinity Church on Van Deusenville Road in Great Barrington, where Alice and Ray lived in the bell tower with Facha the dog (and with all the space where the pews used to be figured they didn't have to take out their garbage for a long time) and which we drive past all the time when I visit. Arlo eventually bought the church himself and founded the Guthrie Center there as a place for interfaith worship, musical performance, and art exhibits. There's even a replica on the premises of the red VW Microbus in which they drove around with all that garbage plus shovels, rakes, and implements of destruction, lol.
