Granted it's not the title of the film but it was the opening song, by one of the best guitar-pickers ever
He also played Cletus Snow ('the Snowman') in the film

The Legend
Jerry Reed

Keeping your theme, my favourite guitar on a film soundtrack. Big Roy knew what he was doing with a Telecaster.

Firstly, two tracks with no relationship to the films with the same name

Oh Superman - Laurie Anderson

Pretty in Pink - The Psychedelic Furs

(you could probably make a complete thread about the music in John Hughes' films)

 

[Jenkins]

Secondly, two tracks turned into complete films
The Ramones - Rock 'N' Roll High School

Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaraunt

I saw a 3D version of that in The Minema, Knightsbridge in about 1980. It was a bizarre evening.

I've still got my Cramps vinyl, & really wanted to go see a tribute band this evening, called Teenage Werewolves, but was at work till 22:00
The support act was also a tribute band.... She's In Bauhaus

I don't think Senior Management would have let me go, as there were also 2 Burlesque dancers on the bill
Kitty Deville & Jessica Habit

Didnt know about it :-(. Would have taken my daughter to the 100 club but sold out / 18 age limit.

From what I've seen of the 'Werewolves' on YouTube, they look very good indeed
The (Gretsch playing) guitarist, isn't quite another Ivy though

Apparantly, She's In Bauhaus are supported (& sometimes joined on stage) by ex-members of the band, if that's not a recommendation, I'm not sure what is?
Likewise, we have tickets for Bootleg Blondie (cancelled from March '20), who again are authorised/supported by Debbie Harry!!

However, the venue seems to be closed, all the posters are gone from outside, & an air of abandonment pervades
