This song is too well produced and too well song for a film about a man and his rat.

Kind of the entire sticking point of God Help the Girl...
...except the music was actually first an album before being realized as a feature film SOOO.

Flash Gordon and Highlander soundtracks. Queen did their thing on those.
Then there's also that theme song from Orgasmo. Something like "Now you're a man! A man, man, Man!"
Transformers soundtrack is legit though.

As someone who was born way after the movie came out (but watched it on DVD sometimes as a kid since my dad bought it) and just recently read the book:

Seal "Kiss From A Rose" was not written for Batman Forever. It was on the soundtrack, but it was released as a single a year before that movie came out and then became popular after it was included on the soundtrack. So, if you don't include Unchained Melody...

This was gonna be my answer, but I wasn't entirely sure if it was made specifically for Quest for Camelot.
Yeah I'm into this one for the thread

But Robin Hood is an awesome movie
If you're gonna praise the soundtrack, the Bryan Adams song deserves a mention
Played as the backdrop of a scene featuring a girl running away from mechanical soldiers riding pigs.
I'm convinced that Space Jam was an experiment in having such a good soundtrack that as time went on we let the soundtrack replace the movie's storytelling and somehow make us love that movie.
It's the only explanation I have because I hate that I love that movie.

This is the first that came to mind since my sister plays the song so much and she's never even seen the movie.
Can't be the only one when you have the following songs:
The Bell of Notre Dame
Out There
God Help the Outcasts
Heaven's Light (which is the companion to Hellfire)
And that's not even counting Alan Menken's score which is probably the best he has ever done for a Disney movie.
Particularly Sanctuary!
Man, we need the 80s back.
Imagine bringing that song in (non-ironically) today. You'd get laughed out of the room. But the room would be wrong
I feel like Iris is the king of this category. But here are others.
I know Leeann Rimes version is best but it's the same song.
I like both those movies but they are just silly action movies. These songs though are much bigger.

Good call. They did a few soundtracks, "More" for a film called "More" and "Obscured by Clouds" for the film "La Vallee" are two of them. I have both on DVD (from that early years box set a few years ago) but haven't got round to watching them but, by all accounts, they are very much "of their time". They also did some cracking work on the soundtrack for "Zabriskie Point".
All of them probably count but I'd say especially "More" as it is my favourite Floyd album.
Curses, this was going to be mine.
Oh well, let me tell an interesting story about Radiohead instead, and their song, Man of War.
This song was written during the sessions for their 1995 album, The Bends, as a homage to James Bond themes, and it was performed live on the following tour. Unfortunately it was never fully finished in the studio and they were clearly not asked to contribute it to any Bond films at the time.
However, in 1998 a movie adaption of the english TV series The Avengers came about, and Radiohead were asked to contibute a song to this, so they attempted to record their Bond theme. The sessions went poorly, which was actually documented on film, and the song was left unfinished again...
...until 2015, when Radiohead were finally asked to submit a song for the Bond franchise with Spectre. They went ahead and actually recorded a fully realised Man of War, complete with strings... and it was rejected as the song was not specifically written for this particular film which means it becomes ineligible to win an Academy award or some bullshit. They released this complete version in 2016.
This doesn't fit the thread theme, as it clearly never ended up on anything despite being written as an unspecific Bond theme, but it's fun to imagine how it could've turned out. In a different universe it would've been a theme for Goldeneye or Tomorrow Never Dies.
