However, the scene with “You Make My Dreams Come True” from 500 Days of Summer won me over with its leaning into the corniness.

I was in High School when Wayne’s World came out and likely had heard the song before, but for whatever reason that scene definitely increased my appreciation of the song

It now is among my favorite Elton John-songs.

Whenever I hear it, I think of that reaction of pure joy and turn up the volume.

Then the song “Renegade” was used in such a perfect way at the end of the episode where the brothers become known fugitives.

But, for movie songs, I’m going to go with “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. While I was aware of the song before seeing “Good Morning, Vietnam,” it wasn’t until watching the movie that I fell in love with it.
