A song commissioned for a movie can not just elevate the viewing experience - it can make the song synonymous with that movie forever.

In some cases, like Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" in "Armageddon" or Nickleback's "Hero" for 2002's "Spider-Man," it's something we'd rather forget about those movies (we're still trying to get the Limp Bizkit version of the "Mission: Impossible" theme song out of our heads).

But over the decades, there are some songs and movies that will forever be linked because of not just their compatibility but because both became hugely popular on their own. Think Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" for "Titanic" or Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters" theme song.

With the new "Ghostbusters" movie coming to theaters on July 15, here we've ranked the 25 best original songs made for movies.

Note: We did not consider Disney songs or James Bond theme songs, because let's face it, those can have their own dedicated lists.
