Title: Movies Named After Songs Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on January 28, 2009, 02:23:57 PM Lets reverse things:
(http://www.impawards.com/1987/posters/hello_mary_lou_prom_night_ii.jpg) Could it be "Hello Mary Lou, goodby heart?" -Ed Title: Re: Movies Named After Songs Post by: BoyScoutKevin on January 28, 2009, 05:43:27 PM It is like the question of the chicken and the egg. What came first? The film or the song?
For example, the film "Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs," gave rise to the song "Who Woke Snow White Up?" by the Baha Men, but if the song came first, we have . . . (not necessarily named after the song, but inspiring the film . . .) Song: The Ballad of the Green Berets Film: The Green Berets Song: Waltzing Matilda Film: The Man from Snowy River Song: I Walk the Line Film: Same title Song: The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Film: The Ballad of Virgil Cane Song: We are the Champions Film: The Mighty Ducks and its sequels Song: She Wore An Yellow Ribbon Film: Same title Song: Go! Speedracer! Go! Film: Speedracer (Also credit the animated series) Song: Grandma Got Run Over by A Reindeer Film: Same (TV movie) Title: Re: Movies Named After Songs Post by: Mr. DS on January 28, 2009, 07:05:13 PM (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a1/Can%27t_Buy_Me_Love_Movie_Poster.jpg)

It was so popular that Republic built a movie around it in 1945 with Gabby Hayes as Wildcat Kelly, the outlaw mentioned in the lyrics.
Best part is the first part of the film. Dale Evans plays a investigative report disguised a "dancing girl" at a mob party. She dances on a table in a skimpy outfit with fishnet hose. Dale was HOT in those days. :hot: (http://www.johnfullerton.org/images/sop013.jpg) Ozzymandias has spoken!!!
