AFI's top 100 movie songs

Wheeler and I agree. Fiddler on the Roof was robbed. That scene in Rocky was ludicrous when it was released; Stallone looked as if he were practicing to stand outside of a grocery store in a turkey suit at Thanksgiving. "Staying Alive" should go away and stop parodying itself. And "As Time Goes By" (Casablanca) clearly should have been at the very top of the list.

I did like the top three (that's all I actually saw!) - any order there would have worked for me.

That being said, I would have been happy if Casablanca had scored #1. I don't think I've ever heard so many people wax so eloquently about Over The Rainbow - made my eyes roll ;-)

Seriously! Especially the part about the childlike appeal of the song, and how much children just get starry-eyed when the song comes on . . .

Children hate this song! It's sooo boring at a younger age!

I agree with the Fiddler on the Roof assessment...everyone I know can at least sing Tradition, and the chorus of If I Were a Rich Man...
