Hello MoFo’s! It is time for another list from your pal The Gunslinger45. Now I love movies, and I love music. Pair the two together in the right way and you have the recipe for a fantastic part of a film. And one of the best ways to establish a film is by the opening song over the title. With this in mind I wish to post my top 10 Favorite Movie Opening Songs. Now the rules for this list are simple, they must be actual songs with lyrics. No scores will be on this list. So no Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, John Carpenter, and sadly no Taxi Driver either. (Might do a separate score list later on). Now it does not have to be a song that was specifically written for the movie, it has to be used in the opening credit and title sequences. And I am not counting the Mortal Kombat theme. It does have lyrics in it, but since it is made up of only a few words and sampled sounds from the video game, that makes it closer to a score then an actual song.
So sit back, relax and enjoy, as we look at my Top 10 Movie Opening Songs.
