The Film of the Song: Difference between revisions

* ''' Type C''' - ''Their Greatest Hit '''The Movie''''': A [[Biopic]] of a notable singer, the movie is named for one of the singer's hits. [[Biopic]]s named after the singer or band themselves don't count.

 

* ''The Black Fly Song''

* ''Born in East L.A.''

* Also, film versions of ancient epics, such as [[The Odyssee]] or [[Divina Commedia]], would apply, since the original is essentially a very long song.

 

* ''Girls Just Want To Have Fun'': [[Sarah Jessica Parker]] likes to dance. Her father disagrees. The song, needless to say, is by Cyndi Lauper (but she wouldn't let New World Pictures use her recording, which is why the movie uses a cover version).

* ''Drive Me Crazy'': Melissa Joan Hart [[Romantic Comedy]], sort of named for a Fine Young Cannibals song but more in honour of the [[Britney Spears]] song "Crazy." On top of being The Film of the Song, it's also The Film Of The Novel ("How I Created My Perfect Prom Date").

* ''[[Feeling Minnesota]]''—though the song is "Feelin' Minnesota."

 

* ''Beyond The Sea'': about Bobby Darin.

* ''Coal Miner's Daughter'': about Loretta Lynn
