btw, surely Wuthering Heights is a Kate Bush tune as well?

Yeah, I just like Pat's version better.  :teddyr:

I'm guessing Rob Zombie's "House of 1,000 Corpses" song doesn't count?  I mean, it was written specifically for the movie he wrote and directed.  But it is a song named after a movie.  I dunno.

DJ Sappo - 'Dawn Of The Dead'

also here is a tune not named after a film, but which samples quite a bit of dialogue from 'Jaws', to the point where someone has made a video for it on youtube matching up various scenes from the film with the appropriate bits of the track... it's really good IMO people should check it out:

DJ Excel - 'Just When you Thought It Was Safe'
