2. It has to be a SONG, with lyrics
Movie scores aren't part of this list.

6. Why not?
That song, with John Travolta strutting down the street, is an indelible part of the American movie lexicon.

7. Good list
I would have picked "How Deep is Your Love" over "Staying Alive," but that's just me.

No. 14 shouldn't be that high, not by a long shot.

I'm glad that "Nobody Does it Better" is there and "You Light Up My Life" isn't. Vindication at long last.

I love #89. Can't stop giggling now.

8. Where's To Sir, With Love?
I'd put Rainbow Connection much higher than 74.

Good list, though. Moon River has always been a haunting song, to me, and I'm not really old enough to remember it in its context.
